Basque & Bordeaux Food & Wine Tour: Once-in-a-Lifetime 2025

11 DAYS IN FRANCE & SPAIN — The journey unfolded at harvest: we checked into Gehry’s Marqués de Riscal, mastered Rioja, ballooned above vineyards, lunched in Laguardia, and dined at two-star Venta Moncalvillo. In San Sebastián, we pintxo-hopped, sailed to Pasajes for underwater-aged wines, and cooked inside a Hondarribia gastronomic society. Crossing to France, we toured Saint-Émilion châteaux, punched down at Smith Haut Lafitte, savored a 100-point tasting, and toasted farewell at Grand Barrail.
