About this tour
Learn to cook Basque classics in San Sebastián alongside a professional chef. Over five hours, you'll prepare dishes using traditional techniques, then sit down with classmates to eat what you've made, paired with local wines. This isn't a lecture—you're working at a rustic table with your hands in the food, building real skills you can replicate at home.
Highlights
- Hands-on preparation of authentic Basque dishes
- Wine pairings chosen to match your cooking
- Shared lunch at a communal wooden table
- Small groups, maximum 10 students per chef
- Professional instruction in a working kitchen
- Vegetarian options available with advance notice
What to expect
You'll arrive and meet your chef and up to nine other students. The session moves between demonstration and hands-on cooking—expect to chop, sauté, and plate under guidance. It's practical and informal rather than theatrical. Midway through, you'll sit together to taste what you're making, then finish with the main meal you've prepared, with wine selected to match each course. The pace is steady but unhurried; you'll leave with techniques worth keeping.
Good to know
Book vegetarian preferences ahead; vegan diets aren't accommodated. Anyone with allergies must notify in advance—you'll cook the standard menu but eat a modified lunch. Children under 16 need an adult. The space is wheelchair accessible, and public transport is nearby. Groups cap at 10 to keep instruction personal.
