Experience Details

I am a Basque native, in love with my country, culture and gastronomy. And after be working with travelers 7 years, in 2015 I started offering artisan, unique and authentic experiences in my own. Aiming to offer the possibility to enjoy feeling and living, the true essence of the Basque Country, out of the commercial and away from the tourist masses.


And this is the best experience I offer ever about local artisanal producers of the country side and probably the most pure that is offered in the city. If you don’t believe me, came on to collect the best mountain products, visiting artisan producers and cooking lunch in my “gastronomic society”. And after completing the experience, you are not satisfied. I will return you, the amount paid for it


* The gastronomic society : Is where you can experience the region’s gastronomy from first hand. The love of food and social dining is what brings together family groups and friends to cook top quality ingredients with loving care.

What You’ll Experience

We will drive 50 minutes from San Sebastian, to go deep into the mountains, in the heart of the Basque Country, where I was lucky to be born and grow. While we enjoy a very easy and beautiful walk, we will visit two rural farm-houses that are dedicated to the artisanal elaboration of food and drinks. We will get to know their lifestyle closely and throughout the morning we will not stop tasting homemade products such as cheeses, bread, sausages, eggs, vegetables, fruits, honey, flowers, wine and cider among others. Having collected the best food, we will descend to my hometown, to enjoy the atmosphere of the street while having a wine. And finally, we will go back up the mountain, to cook and enjoy a good meal together, in my gastronomic society, without missing good wines.
