Full description

This tour will include a nice walking tour in the morning, showing you and buying seasonal products in the local market gathering with local people. You will be shown how to cook the products after the walk while drinking txakoli, a white local wine, Rioja red wine or cider. Have an exclusive and unique chance to feel the experience of being in a private cooking club where locals gather. Taste some typical fresh Basque and seasonal food and also learn how to cook it too.  The main rule of the cooking club following the history of why those clubs were founded, was that only the men were allowed to cook and to access the kitchen, and the women were only able to watch, be served and of course, to enjoy the experience but not to work.

We met with Iker at 10:00 and had an overview of Basque culture and a walking tour of San Sebastian. Afterward, we went to the underground market to shop for some items for lunch, where we were able to sample cheese and ham. We also received an explanation about Iberico ham. Following this, we had a meal at a gastronomic club. While our primary purpose was to visit the club and learn about it, the detailed explanation we received was very informative. The meal itself was prepared by a chef who is a business partner of the club, and it was both abundant in quantity and delicious. Since it was a private tour, we were able to manage our time freely without worrying about others. Although the cost is higher compared to other tours, I highly recommend it.
