Basque Country Week

This tour combines road cycling with the Basque Country's culinary and wine culture across three regions. Starting in La Rioja Alavesa, riders cycle through vineyards and visit a local winery before heading to San Sebastián via Villabuena de Álava and Uribarri Ganboa, then loop out to Hondarribia and along the coast to Lekeitio before finishing in Bilbao.

Dining highlights include a Michelin-starred dinner at Mina restaurant, a pintxos tour in San Sebastián's old town, and a visit to an underwater winery on the final riding day. A private Guggenheim Museum tour and a physiotherapist massage in San Sebastián round out the wellness and cultural side of the trip.
