Chef-Led San Sebastián Pintxos Tour: 5 Bars, Food & Wine
Overview
San Sebastián has hundreds of pintxos bars — knowing where to go, what to order, and how to combine everything can be overwhelming.
Join me, Erich, a chef and gastronomic researcher, for an evening through five carefully selected bars. You'll taste 7–10 pintxos and enjoy five drinks, creating a complete dinner rather than a few small samples.
This isn't a bar crawl. You'll learn how locals decide where to eat and what to order — and by the end of the evening, you'll know how to explore San Sebastián's pintxos bars with confidence for the rest of your trip.
The experience is designed for small groups, leaving room for questions and personal recommendations based on your interests and dietary needs.
Afterward, you'll receive a personalized list of places to explore on your own. Book near the start of your trip: you'll leave with a full dinner and the confidence to keep eating well.
