BasqueBites is the Basque Country’s only chef-founded gastronomic tour operator and private DMC. Based in San Sebastián, we design and operate private food and wine programs across the full region, from Bilbao to Biarritz, Pamplona to La Rioja, and the length of the Txakoli Coast. Deeply delicious, always authentic.
Gastronomic Walking Tours — San Sebastián Chef-led pintxo and wine tours through the Old Town. The perfect add-on to any Basque itinerary.
Day Trips — The Txakoli Coast & French Basque Country Vineyards, old ports, Michelin stars and sailboat charters. From Getaria to Biarritz, all in a day.
Multi-Day Private Journeys — The Basque Region Fully bespoke, 3 to 14 day deep dives. La Rioja, Navarra, Bilbao and more. Built around your client, managed start to finish.
Group, Incentive & Retreat Programs Your clients arrive as colleagues and leave as friends. That’s the Basque effect.
From Bilbao to Bordeaux. Pamplona to La Rioja.
From the Txakoli coast at Getaria, Zarautz and Hondarribia, to the clifftops of Zumaia and the estuary at Urdaibai. Inland to Gernika, Vitoria-Gasteiz and the vineyards of La Rioja. Across the border to Biarritz, Espelette and Saint-Jean-de-Luz. Bilbao to the west, Pamplona to the south, San Sebastián makes an ideal hub for the whole Basque experience.
Simple. Transparent. Rewarding.
Send us a client brief. Group size, dates, interests, budget. We respond promptly with a tailored proposal. You present it to your client. We handle everything on the ground.
We work two ways. For FIT and group programs we can quote a net rate for you to mark up and resell at your own price. Alternatively we work on retro-commission, typically 10-12% on the total program price, paid after travel completes.
White-label programs available for established partners. Multi-day and group programs are not listed on OTAs. We do not accept direct bookings from clients introduced through a trade partner. Your client relationship is yours, always.
We know this region better than anyone. Authentic access, not tourist itineraries.
We respond promptly and stay with you throughout the trip.
We protect your relationship. No direct bookings from your clients, no exceptions.
We make you look good. Every program is managed personally.
