Additional Information
The culinary diversity of the Basque region is expansive and intricate that it cannot be fully savored in just a couple of meals, with each dining experience revealing more of its richness. Pintxos, our bite-sized dishes that reflect our deep-rooted customs, offer a broad view of our extensive and varied cuisine.
Embark on a tasting journey with four distinct pintxos from four unique restaurants in Bilbao’s Old Town, each house’s specialty, paired with exquisite wines from domestic DO that will satisfy your taste buds. Each pintxo comes with an interesting narrative waiting to be shared. Plus, you’ll get to immerse yourself in the Bilbao lifestyle that we so love - feasting and toasting!

Excellent experience! - Excellent tour! Everything we expected and more. Very sorry I forgot his name, but our guide was outstanding and did a great job ensuring we had everything we needed. He was very knowledgeable, not only about the wine and pinxtos we were trying, but the local area and history of the Basque people and region. Highly recommend this tour!

Excellent Pintxos Around Plaza Nueva - Centered around Plaza Nueva, this tour explored many local pintxos (and wines). If you are looking to taste high quality pintxos this is a superb tour. It is not as much of a walking tour of Bilbao as a hyper local exploration of some very good pintxos spots.

Eat and drink up! - We had a very good time on this wine tasting and pintxo tasting tour. We were introduced to different types of pintxos and learned about the pintxos competitions and saw some of the awards given out. Got an opportunity to try different vermouths and learned about the differences.
