The only CHEF-LED PINTXO TOUR in San Sebastián, join me for a walking, eating & drinking experience you'll never forget!
We'll take a tour of the market (closed Sundays) to see what's cooking, before walking around the Old Town for pintxos (Basque tapas) and drinks at 3 of my favorite bars. It's a great walk, a good wine-soaked lunch & exactly what the locals do.
Along the route I'll show you the sites & tell you about the history & culture of the Basque Country, but my focus is definitely on FOOD & DRINK. There's no better way to learn why this is one of the world's most delicious culinary capitols. Oh, I'm also gonna email you a handful of recipes when we're done so you can take the magic home.
My route & the menu changes daily, but we'll do a mix from the traditional to the modern. Expect to dine of anchovies, octopus, bacalao, veal cheeks, foie gras, suckling pig, maybe we'll nibble on a pig ear or two?
Thirsty? I'm great at pairing the perfect pour with the perfect plate, from local ciders to white wine (txakoli), young & aged tempranillo from La Rioja & beyond--maybe we'll dip into some vermouth too? There's always beer too!
Get ready for a super fun, super tasty day out in San Sebastián!
Agur!

I'm GREGORY, a chef who has been living, drinking & eating in San Sebastián for 8 years.
I lead food tours, teach cooking classes & host wine tastings, but my AirBnB experience is all about PINTXOS (Basque Tapas).
I am a JAMES BEARD FOUNDATION scholar from California, went to LE CORDON BLEU PARIS & worked on organic farms all over France, Spain & the Basque Country. San Sebastián is now home.
I want to share the culinary culture of the Basque Country with you. On our outing you'll see the sites & learn the history, but it's all about the art of small plates!

Had a wonderful time, Gregory is the best at what he does, sharing his passion for food and this city! Could not have learned all that I did on my own and Gregory's amazing and unique personality made the tour especially great! Felt like I came out knowing so much more about the culture of this city!

It was nice to roam around San Sebastian with someone like Gregory - you get to know which bar to go and what to order. He even personalised the tour by asking us where have we eaten the night before. The weather was sh** but it didn't really bothered us at all. The tour felt very communal and what made us connect to the town is we got to listen to a foreigner's perspective about the place.
