About this tour
A nine-hour private food expedition through the Basque Country, departing San Sebastian to explore regional producers and their wares—cheese, cured meats, wine—before finishing in Hondarribia with pintxos and drinks. Your guide and driver navigate you through culinary landmarks in an air-conditioned minivan, with tastings built into the day. Hotel pickup and drop-off included.

What to expect
You'll spend the morning and afternoon visiting small-scale food makers in the Basque region—stopping at cheese dairies, charcuterie shops, and wine producers where locals explain their craft. Tastings happen as you go, building throughout the day without feeling rushed. By late afternoon you'll be in the coastal town of Hondarribia, where pintxos (small Basque snacks) and your choice of drink round out the experience. Expect to eat and drink continuously but thoughtfully; this isn't a race through tourist spots.
