The Cave of Irouleguy Travel to the heart of Basque wine culture

Nestled in the heart of the green landscapes of the Basque Country, the Cave d'Irouleguy is much more than just a wine estate. It is a place where authenticity, culture and traditions merge around an exceptional product: Irouléguy wine.

Founded in 1952 by nine passionate winegrowers, the Cave d'Irouleguy is the first cooperative of the AOC Irouléguy. Today, it remains a key player, while remaining one of the smallest wine cooperatives in France, with an operating model based on solidarity and exchange. Winegrowers and employees work hand in hand to produce the most representative wines of this exceptional terroir.

Located in the heart of the Basque Country, it benefits from a vineyard cultivated on the slopes of the Basque mountains, where the grapes are harvested manually. The wines of the Cave d'Irouleguy are distinguished by their liveliness, elegance and aromatic richness, specific to mountain vines. The vintages, whether organic or without sulfites, are a true reflection of the meticulous work of the winegrowers. The diversity and quality of the grape varieties give each vintage a unique character, thus creating emotional wines that exalt the senses.

The Cave d'Irouleguy also offers an immersive experience for its visitors. A free and interactive tour, including a scenographic shop, allows you to discover the different stages of production, from grape to bottle. Thanks to immersive videos, a sensory game and a breathtaking view of the cellar, you will dive into the world of the work of the winegrowers and the Cave team. Children are not left out, with a drawing corner and a circuit adapted to their size.
