Arrival & First Taste of Pamplona

Upon arrival at Bilbao Airport, a private transfer brings you through the Basque landscapes to Pamplona. Settle into the historic Hotel La Perla, where comfort meets heritage in the heart of the old town.

In the late afternoon, join your guide for an evocative walking tour — tracing the legendary path of the Running of the Bulls and uncovering Pamplona’s layered history. As twilight falls, immerse yourself in the flavors of Navarra with a curated pintxo tour, hopping between local bars where each bite tells a story.

Monastic Echoes & Rosé Reveries

Begin your day with a peaceful breakfast at the hotel before being met by your private driver. The road leads through rolling hills to a 9th-century monastery, where the solemn beauty of a live Gregorian chant welcomes you. After visiting the crypt, continue toward a 10th-century hilltop castle.

There, a curated meal awaits paired with regional wines chosen by a local sommelier. Later, enjoy a rosé tasting with a winemaker set among Roman ruins. A brief visit follows to centuries-old olive groves for a tasting, then a final winery stop for more wines and artisanal Ibérico ham.

Return to Pamplona in the afternoon. You may rest or stroll the town before enjoying a reservation at a traditional Navarrese restaurant — intimate, authentic, and flavorful.

Day in the Basque Highlands: Art, Heritage & Chocolate

Wake in Pamplona and be met by your private driver, heading north into the lush Basque hills. Your morning begins in a hidden pre-11th-century village, where a celebrated Basque painter — both artist and storyteller — welcomes you. As he guides you through narrow stone streets, history stirs with every step.

The visit ends at his studio, where local cheese and wine accompany an intimate viewing of his work — a portal into the soul of pre-Roman Basque heritage.

By midday, you’re brought to a 5 star boutique hotel nestled in verdant landscapes. Here, time slows. Rest, breathe, and let the scenery hold you.

Later, a private chocolate workshop awaits — led by a Michelin-starred chef — followed by a beautiful, seasonal dinner crafted just for you.

Day of Stillness & Stories from the Border

This morning is yours to embrace slowness. Wander the paths around your hotel, breathe in the clean mountain air, and let nature hold your thoughts. As a restorative pause, enjoy a private spa ritual and massage — with views over emerald hills and the quiet valley below.

In the afternoon, your driver will bring you deeper into the frontier lands. There, you’ll meet a legendary former contrabandist — a guardian of forgotten border tales. As he shares the secrets of old smuggling routes between Spain and France, the landscape around you will take on new meaning: not just scenic, but storied.

Through Valleys Shaped by Tradition

Morning reveals a softer landscape, green valleys, scattered farmhouses, and forests steeped in myth and folklore.

Following old paths between villages, the journey continues at a natural rhythm, shaped by the terrain itself.

By afternoon, you arrive in a historic city whose streets have witnessed centuries of celebration, ritual and daily life. Walking its old quarter reveals layers of story, before an intimate evening gathering brings local culinary traditions to life.

Walking the Pilgrims’ Way

Today, you join one of Europe’s oldest walking routes; a path followed for over a thousand years. The trail moves through open countryside, connecting villages, hills and distant horizons.

Later, you arrive at a private wine estate, where architecture, landscape and winemaking exist in quiet harmony. Exploring the vineyards and cellars reveals the patience and precision behind every bottle, before a tasting and lunch complete the experience.
