Description

Your experience begins in the heart of Donosti (San Sebastián), where we’ll meet at an easy-to-find central location. From there, we’ll set off on foot to explore two of the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods — a blend of historic charm and everyday local life. Led by me, Erich — a chef with 10 years of experience in Michelin-starred kitchens, a food podcaster, and a gastronomic researcher at the Basque Culinary Center — this tour is designed to give you a true taste of the city’s culinary soul. Over the course of the evening, we’ll visit five carefully selected bars, each one a culinary gem known for its quality, character, and connection to Basque food culture. At every stop, you’ll enjoy one or two signature pintxos, each paired with a local wine, cider, or spirit that complements the flavors perfectly. It’s a full dinner in stages — walking, tasting, sipping, and learning as we go. But this isn’t just about great food — it’s about context. At each stop, I’ll share the stories behind the dishes, the ingredients, and the people who make them. You’ll learn about the origins of pintxos, the evolution of Basque cuisine, and the unique ways food and history intertwine in this part of the world. Along the way, I’ll also point out cultural landmarks, hidden corners of the city, and give you an insider’s view of how Donosti lives and breathes food — from the traditions of local markets to the latest culinary innovations. Expect: A complete dinner experience across five food stops Curated drink pairings at each location In-depth storytelling about Basque gastronomy, traditions, and ingredients A relaxed, intimate atmosphere ideal for asking questions and going deeper A scenic, informative walk through two neighborhoods filled with history and local life This experience is fully personalized. If you have any allergies, intolerances, or dislikes — or prefer non-alcoholic pairings — just let me know in advance, and I’ll adapt the tour accordingly to ensure you enjoy every bite. The tour concludes with a sweet treat and a list of personalized recommendations for the rest of your stay — whether you're looking for hidden restaurants, wine shops, day trips, or the best spot for a sunset view. Come hungry, leave inspired.
