Doesn't this look like fun? Maybe we should plan a Rioja weekend in 2025! Barrio de la Estación in Haro, Spain has a number of amazing 100+ year old wineries. During this festival you can visit them all, and sample special wines paired with a unique pinxto/tapa created for each bodega.

Cooking classes taught by local chefs are always a fun event on our culinary tours. Visiting the local vegetable and fish markets to buy the freshest ingredients in San Sebastián is an important first step when learning how to make the best pintxos and tapas. What's even more fun is eating the result of all the hard work put in by our guests. The team at Mimo - Patricio, Eneko, Lara, and Laura always make sure our guests have a great time Mimo is the best!

Dinner at Hemeretzi in the Old Town/Parte Vieja is always a memorable experience. Chef Pablo Soto prepares the freshest fish and seafood. We had the beautiful red shrimp known aka caribiñeros, calamari, crab, and fresh anchovies and more. Even the innovatively presented Pa amb tomaquet or bread with tomato was spectacularly good. And of course, lots of good wine to accompany all the delicious dishes.

We had beautiful weather for our first day in San Sebastián. La Co**ha bay as seen from Mt. Igueldo is a stunning sight. Our guests enjoyed the seeing the city, strolling from Ondaretta beach and the funicular to the Old Town or Parte Vieja.

There are dozens of cider houses in Basque Country. A visit to a cider house in Astigarraga is not just a meal but a cultural experience, offering a glimpse into the rich heritage and warm hospitality of the Basque Country. However, it's not just about the drink; it's about the lively atmosphere, where camaraderie flourishes over communal tables laden with hearty Basque cuisine. From savory Txuletas (grilled ribeye steaks) to delicate salt cod dishes, finishing with local cheese and apple paste, every bite is a testament to the region's rich culinary heritage.

Many people don’t know that the Basque people have their own language, Euskara. In Hondarribia, where our tour is based, many people speak 2-3 languages. Basque/Euskara, Spanish, and French (since we are on the border of France).

Chef Mikel tells us, "Less is more!"

We loved our cooking class with Mimo in San Sebastian. Mikel introduced us to recipes from the Basque regions of Guipuzcoa and Vizcaya! Diane is sifting powdered sugar/icing sugar over utensils to decorate a dessert plate #madewithmimo

A cooking demo and dinner in a Basque gastronomic society (private, members-only club) is a special event. And when the food is made by the amazing chef Xagit it is even better.

Hondarribia has an elevator to make the journey to the Old Town easier. It also has a great view

Do you know what this is? What does this tiny creature have to do with our exploration of Basque Country? Find out soon!

How do you chop onions so they don’t make you cry? Mikel says “no noise”. Gently draw your knife through the onions so that you don’t break the cell walls and free the stuff that makes you cry

All great Basque Chefs cook with fire! Xagit Andonegi, of course, is at the top of our list!

A sunny day in San Sebastian, Basque Country

San Sebastian will entice you with its sights and sounds, especially on those lazy, sunny days with clear blue skies.

Learn to Cook (Drink and Eat) in Spain

Cook Drink Eat Spain is a week-long, culinary vacation that focuses on the culture and cuisine of the Spanish Basque Country.

Because of our love of Spanish food and culture, my husband and I wanted to find a way to share it with others. So, for two months a year (in late spring and in fall), we curate and host week-long, food-focused tours that include accommodations, cooking classes taught by local residents, sightseeing, winery visits and of course, lots of eating. Everything on the tour has been carefully selected and personally vetted by us. Our relationships with many residents, restaurants and businesses allow our guests to experience and appreciate Spain from the inside, through the eyes of a local, not a tourist.

Our tour is based in Hondarribia, a charming fishing village on the northern coast of Spain. I first visited this village in 1987 and it has retained its charm while becoming famous as one of the best places to experience the region’s cuisine. The area is known for the abundant seafood that is sourced daily from the Cantabrian Sea. Fresh anchovies, cod, hake, squid, and shellfish, often come straight off the fishing boats in our port and into the nearby kitchens. As a result, restaurants and our cooking classes focus on fresh, local food, in season.

Note: I attended the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and am fluent in Spanish. Attending university in another country was life-changing. I met fascinating people from all over the world and experienced many new things. It made me realize that our world is small and we can bridge cultural gaps and build compassion by turning people on to things they’ve never experienced before. I believe that even small things, like learning the stories behind a dish and how to prepare it, can help us see that different cultures, and thus all of us, are more similar than we think.
