Basque Country Culinary Tour
The Basque Country is the gourmet epicentre of Spain, with many Michelin starred restaurants such as Arzak, Akelare and Berasetegui, along with “Gastronomic Societies” and famous tapas bars. Food lovers from across the planet make their way to this Gourmet Mecca every year, just to dine at San Sebastian’s multitude of Michelin star restaurants and try the tapas or pintxos as they known locally.

In addition to exploring these two great cities, we visit the lush green interior, with its delicious, hearty cuisine and age-old traditions. Along the way, we also visit several fishing villages on the picturesque Basque coast.
This tour is designed for the food and wine lover. Highlights include two cooking classes, an unforgettable “pintxos tour” of San Sebastian and a memorable dinner in a Michelin 3 star restaurant, Arzak.
