San Sebastian
Enjoy 3 nights in 2 rooms in a boutique hotel in the city center with daily breakfast. Considered one of the food capitals of the world, San Sebastian is a unique city home to countless Michelin-starred restaurants, pintxo bars, food markets, and gourmet food shops.
Private Pintxos Tour
Pintxos is the Basque name for tapas, coming from the Spanish verb “pinchar” which means to poke or stab. Similar to tapas, pintxos are served in smaller portions, but they are definitely more sought after and considered the best tapas in Spain. It’s typical to go into a bar in the Basque Country and find the entire counter lined with plates of various pintxos, from the traditional ones to mini haute cuisine experiments. You will set out on a delicious private tour with a local guide who will bring you to the best pintxos bars in the Old Town of San Sebastian. Here you can sample these renowned Basque pintxos accompanied by typical drinks for a fun and tasty adventure, while also discovering some hidden corners of the city.
Rioja Wine Tour
As Spain’s most renowned and historic wine region, La Rioja captivates with its stunning landscapes, featuring snow-capped mountains and sprawling vineyards. Home of Spain’s most beloved and cherished grape, Tempranillo, this region brings forth wines that have become top quality in recent years. During this wine tour, you will visit 2 wineries with tastings and stop for a delicious lunch in a local restaurant located in a charming medieval town. Lunch and Transportation are included.
Bordeaux
After a private transfer from San Sebastian, stay another 3 nights in 2 rooms in a boutique hotel in the city center in Bordeaux, the destination for wine enthusiasts and the gem of the 18th-century world UNESCO patrimony. Take in the striking beauty of the city that is considered second only to Paris and explore the nearby beautiful Atlantic beaches and picturesque villages.
Saint-Emilion
Saint Emilion is one of the most fascinating and renowned wine regions in the world, where you will discover the divine secrets of Bordeaux wines, and why they have become so legendary.
