What to expect

Experience a unique culinary adventure on this half-day Idiazabal cheese tour from San Sebastian, blending landscape, tradition and flavour in one memorable journey.

Depart from San Sebastian to explore rural Gipuzkoa and visit the medieval town of Segura before arriving at a family-run creamery. Learn the step-by-step process of creating this Basque Country emblem - from Latxa sheep grazing to curdling, moulding, salting and the maturation that develops its firm texture and subtle smoky notes.

Tour the facilities with your local guide, learn to recognize quality seals, and understand why Idiazabal ranks among Europe's finest cheeses. Enjoy a tasting featuring several award-winning varieties paired with local cider, training your palate to identify notes of raw milk, nuts and herbal touches.

This cheese journey includes hotel pick-up and drop-off in private air-conditioned transport. It is perfect for food enthusiasts who want to go beyond the shop window and experience the craft from farm to board.

Savour the authentic cheese journey of the Basque interior with expert guidance, mountain scenery and a tasting that showcases why Idiazabal cheese is the region's pride.
