Expect Txakoli, Rioja, Champagne, Burgundy, natural wines, small producers and plenty of bottles you probably won’t find everywhere. You can stop by for a glass of wine and a bite, have lunch or dinner, or simply ask us to help you choose a bottle.
More than 700 wines
One of the largest wine lists in Bilbao, with more than 700 references. Basque wines and Txakoli, Rioja, Champagne, Burgundy, Italy, natural wines, small producers and great classics. And yes, plenty of wines by the glass too.
Wine tastings & events
We organise wine and cheese tastings, meetings with winemakers, special pairings, Wine Fights and plenty of other events throughout the year. Come to learn, discover new wines and, above all, have a very good time.
Food worth staying for
At Calcáreo we care about food just as much as wine. Our kitchen serves dishes made for sharing, seasonal recipes and artisan cheeses, with a menu that changes regularly. Come for a glass and accidentally stay for dinner. It happens.
