From Basque Mountains to Bordeaux Vineyards
Ready for an unforgettable journey through one of Europe’s most vibrant, flavour-packed, and sun-soaked regions? Join us this summer for a slow-moving, soul-filling trip from San Sebastián to Bordeaux — where surf breaks, sunset hikes, wine fights, and coastal towns come together for the ultimate summer escape.We’re kicking things off with three days in San Sebastián, soaking up the beachy Basque energy, eating our way through pintxo bars, and hiking up to hilltop chalets for sunset steaks and sidra. Think long-table dinners, crisp sea air, and morning surf sessions to clear your head.From there, we’ll roll into Spain’s wine country for Haro’s famous Batalla del Vino — yes, that’s the one where you wear white and end up purple. Afterwards, we’ll slow it down in a countryside cottage to rinse off the red wine and recharge.Then it’s over the border to the French Basque Coast: Hossegor and Biarritz, where surf culture meets chic cafés and sunset swims. We'll wrap it all up in Bordeaux — one day to explore the city’s food and wine scene, then off to the countryside for a final night in a French château, complete with a vineyard tour and goodbye dinner.This trip is all about movement, magic, and making memories — a few weeks of connection, exploration, and chasing the good life through two of Europe’s most iconic regions.Exact dates and itinerary coming soon — subscribe to our newsletter Postcards from the Road for first access when bookings go live.
