Wine tasting + Late Lunch
Friday, May 23, 2025
10:00 AM–6:30 PM
There will be a bus pickup from Bilbao, or you can make your own way there if you have a car.
The winery is in the Rioja region and is called Bodegas Bilbaínas. The idea is to do a tour of the winery and taste several of their best wines with some charcuterie and cheese.
The cost of the tasting and tour is €38,25 per person. We will cover the bus costs. After that we plan to get food, if you are coming by bus the transportation is for both (we won't be going back to Bilbao in between. The food will be around €15-€20 per person.
This is just an optional extra event for whoever is there earlier and would like to join us.
10:00 AM–11:15 AM

Late lunch (Restaurante Artzegi)
