Egiategia Underwater wine tasting in Saint Jean de Luz

Explore the concept of Underwater Winemaking

Located on the Basque coast, in Ciboure , EGIATEGIA has been developing a unique and doubly patented method since 2007: underwater vinification.

This method involves submerging their polymer tanks in the bay of Saint-Jean-de-Luz. A second alcoholic fermentation is created inside the tanks which are submerged 15 meters deep in the bay of Saint-Jean-de-Luz.

The team welcomes you to their Terrestrial Cellar, located in the historic Blocs de Socoa house. Discover each step of their method during various tours, then enjoy an exceptional tasting with a breathtaking view of the bay of Saint-Jean-de-Luz.

Each tour begins with a visit to the Terrestrial Cellar and an explanation of the underwater winemaking method. The tasting that follows varies depending on the option chosen:

The DENA DELA tour : €12 per person - Duration: 45 minutes

Tasting of two wines from the Dena Dela range and one from the Artha range.

The ARTHA tour : €25 per person - Duration 1 hour

Tasting of 6 wines from the Dena Dela and Artha ranges.

The LOCAVORE tour : €40 per person - Duration: 1.5 hours
