Step beyond the Old Town and spend your evening in Gros, the neighborhood where San Sebastián’s culinary story continues to unfold.

This small-group food and wine experience is designed as a progressive dinner across four carefully selected venues. Each stop reveals a different stage in the evolution of Basque cooking—from traditional cider-house staples to contemporary bistro cuisine and rare regional wines.

Begin with the flavors that built the city’s reputation: two classic pintxos served with refreshing Basque cider. Continue to a modern pintxos bar, where chefs reinterpret familiar ingredients with refined technique and fresh perspective, paired with txakoli wine from the Basque coast.

At a contemporary bistro, watch the kitchen in action before enjoying a seasonal vegetable-focused plate and dessert, thoughtfully matched with wine. End the evening in an intimate wine bar led by an experienced sommelier with Michelin-star credentials, sampling distinctive regional wines alongside carefully aged Basque cheeses.

With seating at every stop and a relaxed pace throughout, this experience feels less like a tour and more like a well-hosted dinner—one that deepens your understanding of how Basque cuisine honors tradition while constantly reinventing itself.
