A unique food, wine and cultural experience that will take you from Spanish Basque Country to Bordeaux, France on a journey that will bring you through these two very distinctly different regions that are both united by and infused with refreshing art, breathtaking landscapes and of course unbeatable gastronomy and wine.
San Sebastian presents to us a different side of Spain, away from the corridas, siestas and flamenco dancing. On the bank of the Cantabrian Sea, divided from France by the Pyrenees mountains, this autonomous community is characterized by a fascinating culture and unique traditions. Here you will find the most delicious tapas in all of Spain, known here only by the name of Pintxos! In fact, San Sebastian has been experiencing a true gastronomic renaissance in recent years, making the city a top destination for its dining scene, and home to numerous Michelin star restaurants. Nearby there is the main wine region of Spain, Rioja, famous for its Tempranillo grapes.
Moving north into France, Bordeaux is renowned across the world for being the capital of a legendary wine growing region. The city itself, considered second only to Paris in terms of beauty and elegance, has a vibrant, rich and sophisticated vibe, as well as being a top gourmet and cultural destination. Enjoy the monumental stone architecture and breathe in the true identity of Bordeaux through the unique nooks and crannies, and stop to enjoy a coffee in Place de la Bourse, one of the most beautiful squares in all of France. The city is an ideal base for exploring nearby wine regions such as Medoc, St. Emilion, Pessac-Leognan and Sauternes.
