Description
This isn’t just a pintxo crawl — it’s the ultimate Basque food experience with seven unforgettable stops! From iconic bars to hidden gems, we’ll explore the flavors, history, and culture that make San Sebastián a foodie paradise. Along the way, we’ll meet the makers behind the food and taste everything from cheeses to pintxos, chocolates to wines, and cider to liqueurs— proving Basque cuisine is so much more than pintxos.
Our journey begins in the Basque mountains at an artisanal shop with over 50 handcrafted cheeses. We’ll select four of the best, experiencing why cheese is at the heart of Basque gastronomy.
Next, we visit a modern bar where young chefs transform local ingredients. We’ll pair our cheeses with San Sebastián’s signature pintxo and a glass of natural wine, blending tradition with creativity.
At one of the city’s most iconic pintxo bars, heritage meets bold innovation. The menu fuses classic flavors with modern twists, capturing the essence of Basque cuisine. Nearby, historic streets invite exploration.
A century-old, family-run wine shop offers a taste of tradition. Its shelves are filled with Rioja and Ribera del Duero wines, but we’ll focus on Patxaran, a beloved Basque liqueur, paired with a delicate pastry.
We then dive into bold flavors with a modern spin on the Basque corn tortilla, made with rich local ingredients and perfectly paired with red wine. Hidden in the heart of the city, we’ll visit a cherished women-run bar known for its warm atmosphere and high-quality seasonal dishes—a true local gem.
Our journey ends sweetly at San Sebastián’s first "bean-to-bar" chocolate shop, where Basque craftsmanship meets bold Mexican cacao. We’ll indulge in handcrafted chocolates, Basque cheesecake, and a velvety hot chocolate—an unforgettable finale to a day of exceptional flavors.
