About us
History
It all began in 2001 when we decided to change our lives after decades in the dairy sector. We wanted to find a new way to work the land and ventured into the world of vineyards.
With much effort and dedication, we started cultivating our first grapes in a small plot that same year. Gradually, over time, we expanded our crops to our current 3.8 hectares.
We are proud to work in harmony with nature and to use only the grapes we produce on our own land. At Bengoetxe, organic production is part of our essence.
In 2008, we became part of the Getariako Txakolina D.O. as one of the pioneering wineries away from the coast.
Our story is that of simple and passionate people who have found a way of life in the land. Every day, we strive to honor our roots and share the authenticity of our wines with those around us.

Our Values
Since our beginnings, at Bengoetxe we embrace responsibility and opt for 100% ecological production of our txakoli, without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Each bottle reflects the authenticity of our roots. We merge our family project with sustainability and the preservation of the natural resources of our region.
Responsibility
From the beginning, we were clear that the production of our txakoli had to be 100% organic. Our wines certify their production free of pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
Authenticity
Every drop of txakoli we produce comes from our plots.
Sustainability
We combine a family project with the idea of preserving the natural resources of our area.
Our Team
Our dream at Bengoetxe arose from the hands of Iñaki Etxeberria and Rosa Mari Urteaga. For years, with effort and dedication, we have built this project step by step in our beloved family farmhouse.
Now, the second generation, made up of Eneko, Jon, and Maialen, are taking over with gratitude. We are honored to continue the work our parents began, and we commit to keep working with the same passion and respect for the land that saw us grow.
The Farmhouse
The family farmhouse has been the cornerstone of our project. At Bengoetxe, we believe that it is not the farmhouse that belongs to a family, but rather the family that belongs to the farmhouse.

Roots
As a relic of the Golden Age of the Basque Farmhouse, it preserves part of the structure of a large cider press inside. This press is a reminder of the deep roots we have in the land and the ancient traditions we honor and preserve.
