OUR HOSTED & SCHEDULED TOUR MADRID TO SAN SEBASTIAN: WINE, ART & GASTRONOMY
21-28 MAY 2023

02.02.23

This 7 night, hosted tour introduces you to Spain by way of the country’s finest artworks, wines and cuisines as you cross the Iberian peninsula from Madrid to San Sebastian. 

We begin in the glow of the capital, with its promise of Spanish master paintings, old Castillian recipes, sparkling tapas bars and lesser-known wines of the central plateau. That deep red thread of viniculture leads us on to private bodega visits across Ribera del Duero – flourishing home of the tannin-rich tempranillo grape – and on toward the Mediterranean climate of La Rioja. There we’ll stop at three iconic wineries and taste the rich results of their contrasting methodologies. 

Our tour concludes in the Basque Country, where landscape and seascape converge into an extraordinarily fertile gastronomic culture. A deep dive into that heritage brings us to the fishing village of Getaria – a utopia for seafood – and the secret culinary world of a private txoko dining club in San Sebastian. And our adventure ends in that beautiful coastal city with dinner at Martin Berasategui’s triple-Michelin-starred restaurant.
