Food and Wine Tour in San Sebastian

In our Food and Wine tours we help you enjoy the Basque Country’s wonderful cuisine – not just the food itself, which is already world famous, but also the traditions which surround it. Imagine going to a local cooking club and learning to make a traditional dish. Or going for pintxos (Basque tapas) in the historic old city to learn the specialites at each bar and enjoy the lively atmosphere in the streets.

The Basque Country has a multitude of climates and landscapes which give each region unique gastronomy. In the coastal zones, you can enjoy fish and seafood, normally accompanied by local white wines such as txakoli. In the interior, meats and fresh produce reign supreme, notable for their superior quality.
One traditional place which combines all of these products is the cider house.
