About this tour
A 10-hour farm-to-table experience in Spain's Basque Country, led by a native guide who sources ingredients directly from mountain artisan producers. You'll visit working farms, prepare and cook lunch together at a traditional gastronomic society, and taste local wines and ciders throughout the day. The focus is on small-scale, authentic production rather than tourist-focused venues — your guide offers a money-back guarantee if you're unsatisfied.

What to expect
You'll be picked up for a full day guided by a Basque native who runs this experience independently. The morning involves visiting the first farm, where you'll enjoy a substantial brunch paired with tastings of their best products and local drinks. You'll then move to collect ingredients at other artisan producers, tasting snacks and homemade wine as you go.
After sourcing, you'll cook together at the guide's gastronomic society — a traditional gathering space where locals prepare and eat communal meals. You'll prepare your collected ingredients into lunch, which you'll eat on the terrace with views of the surrounding mountains. Throughout the day you can choose your preferred local beverages. The schedule is flexible and can be adjusted based on your preferences.

Good to know
This suits anyone genuinely interested in how Basque artisan food is made and sourced, rather than a polished restaurant experience. It's a working-farm day, so wear sturdy walking shoes. The experience is physically suitable for all fitness levels and accessible to families — infants can travel in a pram or specialist seat, and service animals are welcome. The guide explicitly welcomes dietary requests made in advance. All-day transport and meals are included. Note that the guide leads this independently and personalises the schedule, so the exact timing and producer stops may vary. Bring any dietary requirements to their attention before booking.
