Seminars and company events
Bodega Berroja rents out three event spaces for meetings, work sessions, team building and company dinners for up to 300 guests, inside the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve. The txakoli winery stands in Muxika, in the Basque province of Bizkaia, on a 25-hectare estate that looks out over the reserve.
All three rooms have air conditioning, heating, wireless projection and sound, and a fiber connection, and the site has parking for cars and coaches. The winery also builds custom programs around a meeting: traditional Basque farmhouse games (juegos de caserío), team-building activities, cooking sessions and guided visits with tastings. During the harvest, groups can walk the vineyard and pick grapes before a tasting.
Weddings and receptions
The Salón Social is listed for weddings as well as dinners, with its own kitchen, a bar and an outdoor grill. Families can also book the Txoza for a smaller reception around the fireplace. The winery does not publish a set wedding package, so each format is built with the team.
Rooms and capacities
The Salón Social covers 400 m² and can be divided with movable walls. It takes up to 300 guests for a standing lunch and 200 seated, with a fully equipped kitchen, a bar, a tasting area, the winery shop and views of the vines. The Txoza, 100 m², is built in recycled wood with a fireplace and glass walls facing Urdaibai. It holds 100 standing or 70 seated. The Cocina / Txoko, 40 to 90 m² and also divisible, is a kitchen space for 20 to 40 people, used for show cooking, menu workshops and food and wine activities, with tableware and glassware for up to 40.
Catering
The site does not describe an in-house catering service. The kitchens in the Salón Social and the Txoko, together with the outdoor grill-barbecue, let a chosen caterer or cooking team work on site. The winery's own tasting formats pair its txakoli with D.O. Idiazabal cheese, gildas or pintxos, and one of its events pairs txakoli with sushi from Sushi Gallery.
History and setting
The family winery has worked its vines for about three decades. It farms 24 hectares of vineyard at around 250 meters above sea level. Hondarrabi Zuri is the main grape, blended with Riesling in the house txakoli, and the rosé is made from Hondarrabi Beltza. The winery is a member of the Urdaibai and Europarc ecotourism networks and of Wine in Moderation. Visits and the shop are open every day from 11:00 to 18:00, with the last visit at 16:00.
