Spain’s Basque Region – Wine, Food and
Amazing Vistas

Wine Lovers Tours is a Certified "Spain 360 Expert"

Wine Lovers Tours knows Spain! We’re Certified “Spain 360 Experts”

Mention the Basque region and you may think of Pamplona and the running of the bulls or the hard to pronounce Basque language.

But great wines are produced in the area, the cuisine is distinct and the views are spectacular. The Frank Gehry designed Guggenheim Museum instantly made Bilbao the cultural capital of the Basque region. At the center of it all is San Sebastian or Donastia in the Basque language, home of what some call the finest 3 star Michelin restaurant in the world.

Over the course of 7 days, we’ll experience the best of Basque wine, cuisine and hospitality. When the tour is over on October 21, we’ll leave from Bilbao with fond memories of this captivating region.

I always thought the Spain/Portugal trip was my favorite. But it's a tie with "Wine and Truffles" now. Where do you find such great people to take the tours?
