Great fun! Great experience! If you like to cook it’s a must!

Without doubt this was one of the highlights of our trip. We loved every bit of it. We learned so much from our chef, Pato. He’s a great guy. So much fun and knowlageable. If you’re going to do this plan for it taking most of the day, and it’s worth every second. You meet great people, cook great food, drink fun wines and learned so much. This is an absolute must!

Great market tour and cooking class

Fun cooking class in San Sebastian. We started with a market tour and food shopping. We also tried some pintxos at a local bar. Finally we got back and cooked our lunch. Instructor is funny and helpful. Great facilities. I only hoped that they have a decanter for the wine that we brought.

Thank you as well for your feedback about the wine decanter—we always appreciate suggestions that help us improve the guest experience.
