Overview

  • Live a unique culinary experience with our San Sebastian cheese tour, a half-day immersion into the world of Idiazabal cheese that unites landscape, tradition, and flavour.

    Depart from Donostia / San Sebastia to rural Gipuzcoa, visiting the medieval town of Segura before arriving at a family-run creamery. There, you’ll learn how this Basque icon is made, from Latxa sheep grazing to curdling, molding, salting, and ageing that creates its firm texture and smoky notes.

    With your guide, explore the facilities, learn to spot quality seals, and taste several award-winning cheeses paired with local cider, discovering notes of milk, nuts, and herbs.

    Including hotel pick-up and drop-off and private transport this cheese journey is ideal for food lovers eager to explore the craft behind Idiazabal, the pride of the Basque Country.
