Etxebarri and the Best of the Basques Oct 15–19, 2026 The Basque Country remains one of the world’s great culinary powerhouses — a place where tradition, innovation, and an obsessive respect for produce converge like nowhere else on earth. This five-day journey brings together the region’s most iconic grills, temples of fine dining, and deeply rooted local institutions in one tightly curated experience. Etxebarri and the Best of the Basques is designed for guests who want to go beyond a single headline restaurant and truly understand why this corner of northern Spain continues to dominate the global gastronomic conversation. The Restaurants At the heart of the tour is Asador Etxebarri, where Bittor Arginzoniz has transformed elemental cooking over fire into one of the most influential culinary expressions of our time. A meal here is not simply lunch — it is a benchmark experience. We pair this with a visit to Txispa, the intimate, fire-driven restaurant led by former Etxebarri alumni Tetsuro Maeda, offering a different but equally compelling interpretation of smoke, embers, and precision, but envisioned through a Japanese lens. At Txispa the group will also have the opportunity to experience an exclusive yakitori evening as for just two evenings, after the restaurant service, the kitchen of Txispa transforms. When the sign appears on the back door, the space becomes a bar called YAKITXORI. From the mountains we move to the coast with Elkano, the world reference point for grilled fish, where turbot cooked over charcoal reaches near-mythical status. Balancing the refinement are two deeply rooted classics: Casa Julián, famed for its legendary txuleta, and Ibai, a beloved local institution where Basque hospitality and flavour take centre stage and indeed new heights under the care of world renowned chef Paulo Airaudo.

We will also enjoy a private tasting of Txakoli, the distinctive white wine that has become synonymous with the Basque coastline. Produced from indigenous grape varieties and traditionally poured from height to enhance its freshness, Txakoli offers a fascinating insight into the region's winemaking heritage and gastronomic culture.

Following the tasting we continue to Garena, one of the Basque Country's most exciting dining destinations. Set within a beautifully restored farmhouse overlooking the surrounding countryside, Garena combines contemporary creativity with a deep respect for local ingredients and traditions, offering a fitting celebration of modern Basque cuisine. A surprise for my guests on the last Basque tour this was unanimously a highlight (as I knew it would be) and will now feature on all my tours in this region. A highlight of the tour will be an exclusive evening at Rekondo, famed for its legendary wine cellar and collection of mature vintages. Few restaurants in the world offer such a remarkable combination of Basque cuisine, hospitality and vinous history. The opportunity to dive into this world famous wine list is quite frankly impossible to resist. We will certainly have the opportunity to visit the cellar here also. There will be an evening to enjoy San Sebastián at your leisure, widely regarded as one of the world's great food cities. Wander through the atmospheric streets of the Old Town, discover traditional pintxos bars bustling with locals, and sample everything from freshly grilled seafood and Iberian ham to innovative bite-sized creations. Whether you choose to bar-hop your way through the city or simply enjoy a glass of wine overlooking La Concha Bay, this is an opportunity to experience the more informal side of Basque gastronomy. What’s Included • All restaurant menus 🍽️ • Transportation to and from all restaurants from the San Sebastián pick up point (Hotel Maria Christina)🚍 • Hosted throughout by Achefabroad Tours 👨‍🍳 • Txakoli tasting experience 🍾 • Exclusive buyout event at Ibai 🔐 • A visit to the Rekondo wine cellars 🍷 What's not Included • Accommodation 🏨 • Flights and travel to San Sebastián ✈️ • Alcoholic beverages and other drinks 🍻 • Travel insurance (strongly recommended) 🛡️ • Personal expenses 💳 Please note: Drinks are not included and should be settled directly with the restaurants.

I am happy to make recommendations and also bookings as a supplemental cost. The pickup and drop off point in San Sebastián is the Hotel Maria Christina. The drivers can only stop here and pickup from here. The Experience This tour is about context as much as consumption — understanding why fire matters here, why simplicity is revered, and how the Basques continue to influence chefs across the world. It is carefully paced, logistically seamless, and designed so that guests can focus entirely on the food, the people, and the place. For those who consider the Basque Country essential culinary ground, this is a rare opportunity to experience its most important tables in one exceptional journey. If you wish to extend your tour to include other restaurants then this can also be arranged. This tour is priced at 3250 GBP  A non-refundable deposit of 1500 GBP is required to secure a place on this tour. With the remaining balance due before September 1st 2026.

Mexico is one of the world's great culinary destinations. From internationally acclaimed restaurants to bustling markets, hidden taco stands and centuries-old mezcal traditions, this tour has been designed to showcase the extraordinary diversity of Mexican food and culture.

Over eight unforgettable days, we'll experience the very best of both Mexico City and Oaxaca—two regions that together define the heart and soul of Mexican gastronomy.

In Mexico City, we'll dine at some of Latin America's most celebrated restaurants, including Pujol, Quintonil, Rosetta, Máximo Bistrot, Contramar and Sud 777. These restaurants represent the very pinnacle of modern Mexican cuisine, each offering its own unique interpretation of the country's extraordinary ingredients and culinary heritage.

Away from the dining rooms, we'll discover the Mexico that most visitors never see. Together with expert local guides, we'll explore the colourful canals of Xochimilco, learning about the remarkable chinampa farming system that has sustained the city for centuries before enjoying a traditional lunch prepared using seasonal produce harvested directly from the floating gardens. We'll also enjoy a guided mezcal tasting, discovering the traditions and craftsmanship behind one of Mexico's most iconic spirits.

Our exploration continues through the streets of Mexico City itself. We'll discover the incredible San Juan Gourmet Market, sample exceptional Mexican cheeses and exotic native fruits, wander through Chinatown and the historic centre, and enjoy two bespoke street food experiences that showcase why Mexico City is regarded as one of the world's greatest destinations for tacos.

From iconic Tacos al Pastor and traditional Tacos de Canasta to neighbourhood taquerías that have been feeding locals for generations, these carefully curated experiences provide an authentic look at the city's extraordinary food culture. Along the way we'll slip behind hidden doors into some of the capital's finest speakeasy bars before finishing one evening with innovative coffee cocktails in one of the city's best-kept secrets.

The second half of our journey takes us to Oaxaca, widely regarded as the spiritual home of Mexican cuisine and a region where ancient culinary traditions remain wonderfully intact.

Here we'll experience a completely different side of Mexican gastronomy, dining at some of Oaxaca's finest restaurants including Criollo, Enrique Olvera's celebrated tribute to traditional Oaxacan cooking; Alfonsina, one of Mexico's most acclaimed family-run restaurants; Levadura de Olla, where indigenous ingredients take centre stage; Le Cocina de Humo, showcasing the unmistakable flavours of wood-fired Oaxacan cooking; and Los Pacos, home to one of the country's finest celebrations of Oaxaca's legendary seven moles.

Away from the restaurants, we'll step back through centuries of history at the remarkable archaeological site of Mitla, marvel at the legendary Tule Tree, visit the weaving village of Teotitlán del Valle, explore a traditional mezcal palenque to learn every stage of production, and finish at the spectacular mineral formations of Hierve el Agua, one of Mexico's most breathtaking natural landscapes.

Throughout the tour we'll enjoy exceptional local cuisine alongside these cultural experiences, creating a journey that celebrates not only Mexico's finest restaurants but also the traditions, producers and communities that make its food so extraordinary.

This is not simply a restaurant tour.

It is an immersive journey through one of the world's richest culinary cultures.

A Five-Day Culinary Journey Through Peru's Gastronomic Capital 5–9 March 2027
Optional Machu Picchu Extension | 9–13 March 2027

Peru has firmly established itself as one of the world's great culinary destinations. Nowhere is this more evident than in Lima, a city where the Pacific Ocean, the Andes Mountains and the Amazon rainforest converge to create one of the richest pantries on Earth.

Home to three restaurants that have all been ranked amongst the very best in the world, Lima has become a true pilgrimage for food lovers. No other city in South America boasts such a remarkable concentration of internationally celebrated restaurants, making it one of the most exciting culinary destinations on the planet.

Over five unforgettable days, we'll explore the restaurants, markets and neighbourhoods that have transformed Lima into the gastronomic capital of South America. From internationally acclaimed tasting menus to bustling seafood markets and neighbourhood gems loved by locals, this journey has been designed to showcase the extraordinary diversity of modern Peruvian cuisine.

We'll dine at many of Peru's most celebrated restaurants, including Central, Maido, Kjolle, Mayta, Mérito, Cosme and La Mar. Together, these restaurants represent the very best of contemporary Peruvian gastronomy, each offering its own unique interpretation of the country's exceptional ingredients and remarkable biodiversity.

Beyond the dining rooms, we'll discover the Lima that many visitors never experience. Accompanied by expert local guides, we'll explore the city's vibrant markets, hidden food neighbourhoods and colourful streets, gaining a deeper understanding of the traditions, history and cultures that have shaped one of the world's most exciting food scenes.

During both a daytime and evening guided culinary experience, we'll uncover everything from humble street food and traditional cevicherías to contemporary bars and local favourites known only to those who call Lima home. Along the way you'll discover the ingredients, flavours and stories that make Peruvian cuisine so distinctive.

Throughout the week we'll explore the remarkable influence of Peru's diverse landscapes on its cuisine. From native potatoes and ancient grains cultivated high in the Andes to Amazonian fruits, herbs and cacao, alongside some of the finest seafood found anywhere in the world, every meal tells the story of a country blessed with extraordinary natural abundance.

This is far more than a collection of exceptional restaurants.

It is an immersive journey through one of the world's most exciting culinary cultures.

This journey has been deliberately scheduled to begin immediately following The Best of Mexico City & Oaxaca, allowing guests to combine both tours into one extraordinary Latin American culinary adventure.

Whether you choose to join us for Lima alone or continue your journey after Mexico, this itinerary has been designed to showcase the very best of Peruvian gastronomy while complementing the experiences enjoyed during our Mexican tour.

Optional Machu Picchu Extension

For guests wishing to experience one of the world's greatest archaeological wonders, we'll also offer an optional four-night extension to Cusco and Machu Picchu immediately following the Lima tour.

Offering it separately allows guests to choose the experience that's right for them while keeping the core culinary tour focused on Lima's extraordinary food scene.

Those joining the extension will enjoy a carefully planned itinerary that allows time to acclimatise before visiting the spectacular citadel of Machu Picchu, with all logistics arranged by Achefabroad Tours.

A Five-Day Luxury Journey Through the Heart of the Inca Empire

9–13 March 2027

This experience has been carefully scheduled to begin immediately after The Best of Lima, allowing guests to seamlessly continue their Peruvian adventure. It may also be enjoyed as a standalone luxury journey, with guests joining us directly in Cusco on 9 March.

Designed to complement our exploration of Peru's extraordinary culinary heritage, this carefully curated experience combines the country's finest restaurants, luxury hotels, breathtaking landscapes and one of the world's greatest archaeological wonders into a seamless four-day journey through the Sacred Valley.

Following an à la carte farewell lunch at La Mar in Lima, we'll travel directly to the airport for our included Premium Economy flight to Cusco.

On our first evening, we'll experience the hotel's celebrated Garden to Table dinner, showcasing the finest seasonal ingredients from the Sacred Valley.

The following morning, we'll board the legendary Belmond Hiram Bingham from nearby Río Sagrado Station for one of the world's great luxury rail journeys.

There, our expert private guide will escort us to the magnificent Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, where we'll explore one of the New Seven Wonders of the World while discovering the remarkable history, engineering and mythology of the Inca civilisation.

Following our guided visit, we'll celebrate with cocktails at the iconic Belmond Sanctuary Lodge, the only hotel located beside the entrance to Machu Picchu, before boarding the Belmond Hiram Bingham for our return journey through the Andes. As evening falls, we'll enjoy dinner and Belmond's exceptional onboard hospitality before returning to the Sacred Valley.

Our third day is dedicated to one of the highlights of the entire Latin American journey—MIL, Virgilio Martínez's extraordinary restaurant and research centre situated beside the archaeological terraces of Moray. During the complete six-hour MIL Mater Experience, we'll discover the remarkable biodiversity, traditions and communities that continue to inspire the philosophy behind Central, before enjoying one of the most unique dining experiences anywhere in the world.

That evening, after time to relax back at Tambo del Inka, we'll travel the short distance to the beautiful Sol y Luna Relais & Châteaux, where we'll enjoy dinner accompanied by the hotel's celebrated Peruvian Paso horse show, offering a memorable insight into one of Peru's most elegant cultural traditions.

On our final day in the Sacred Valley, we'll explore another fascinating side of the region with a privately guided excursion to the remarkable archaeological site of Chinchero, a visit to a traditional Andean textile centre to meet master weavers, and the spectacular Maras Salt Mines (Salineras de Maras). After a leisurely local lunch, we'll return to Cusco Airport for our afternoon flight back to Lima, where we'll spend a final evening at the elegant Country Club Lima Hotel  before departing the following day.

Throughout the journey, every detail has been carefully arranged. From luxury accommodation and Premium Economy flights to Belmond rail travel, private guiding, luggage handling and every transfer along the way, we've designed the experience so that guests can simply relax and immerse themselves in one of the world's most remarkable destinations.

A Note from Achefabroad

This journey has been carefully designed as the perfect conclusion to our exploration of Peru's extraordinary culinary heritage. Combining the timeless luxury of the Belmond Hiram Bingham, the extraordinary biodiversity explored through Virgilio Martínez's groundbreaking work at MIL, and the breathtaking majesty of Machu Picchu, every element has been carefully chosen to showcase the very best of Peru.

Every hotel, restaurant, guide, transfer and experience has been meticulously selected to create a seamless and luxurious journey from beginning to end.

Whether you're enjoying Tambo del Inka's unique Garden to Table experience, travelling aboard one of the world's most celebrated luxury trains, exploring the remarkable history of Machu Picchu with your private guide, or experiencing the traditions of the Sacred Valley through master weavers, ancient salt mines and the elegant Peruvian Paso horse show at Sol y Luna Relais & Châteaux, this is an experience designed to create memories that will last a lifetime.

Places are strictly limited to ensure an intimate and highly personalised experience.

Booking Information

To preserve the intimate nature of the experience, The Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu Experience is limited to just eight guests. This allows us to maintain the highest levels of service, flexibility and personal attention throughout the journey while ensuring every guest enjoys a truly exclusive experience.

The experience is priced at £5595 per person, with a Single Occupancy Supplement of £800.

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking to secure your place. The remaining balance is payable 90 days prior to departure.

Your deposit enables Achefabroad to secure luxury accommodation, Premium Economy flights, luxury rail tickets, entrance permits to Machu Picchu, private guiding services and specialist ground logistics, many of which require advance payment and have limited availability.

If you would like to reserve a place or discuss the experience in more detail, please contact me directly at achefabroad@icloud.com or send me a direct message on Instagram @achefabroad.

I look forward to welcoming you on what I believe is one of the world's most extraordinary travel experiences.


We take great care in planning every Achefabroad journey down to the finest detail. On rare occasions, however, adjustments may be required due to circumstances beyond our control, including weather conditions, transport disruption or operational changes by our partners. Should this occur, we will always endeavour to provide an alternative experience, hotel or service of equal — or superior — quality wherever possible. Please note that such changes do not entitle guests to a refund, discount or cancellation.
