Pintxos & Wine Tour – A Culinary & Wine Experience in San Sebastian

Ideal for food & wine lovers

No trip to the Basque Country is complete without a pintxos tour. Join us on a journey through San Sebastian’s lively neighborhoods, where food and wine are more than just flavors—they’re a way of life.

We’ll visit five carefully chosen bars, each offering a signature pintxo paired with a perfectly matched local drink. Expect to taste wines from across the Basque Country and Spain, as well as local cider and Txakoli, our crisp, slightly sparkling white wine.

Every stop has been selected to highlight the connection between food and wine, and to help you discover the evolution of Basque cuisine—bite by bite, glass by glass.

Along the way, your bilingual guide will weave in stories of San Sebastian’s history, culture, and everyday life, giving you an insider’s perspective on how food connects people and carries tradition.

What makes this tour unique?

  • Wine-centered pairings: each pintxo is matched with the perfect drink, from crisp whites to bold reds, to local cider.
  • Small groups (1–8 people) for a relaxed and personal experience.
  • Sustainable travel with social impact: for every person who joins, we donate a meal to someone in need through Cáritas and Zaporeak. You eat one, you feed one.

  • Insider tips on local customs, bar etiquette, and where to go next.
