Heritage & Wine
Where land, lineage and vine converge
Wine, in the Basque Country, is inseparable from history.
This collection of journeys explores viticulture as cultural continuity — from the Atlantic slopes of Txakoli to the singular estates of Navarra. Kingdom, pilgrimage, maritime trade and rural resilience form the backdrop against which the vine found its voice.
Rather than isolated tastings, these experiences unfold as cultural arcs: territory interpreted, heritage contextualised, wine understood as the quiet synthesis of land and time.
Within Gourmet Lounge, Heritage & Wine occupies its own space — where viticulture is not an accessory to gastronomy, but a sovereign expression of place.
Wine is the memory of land, carried forward
