Hey There!

I‘m Gregory, a chef who has been living, drinking and eating in San Sebastián for over 10 years. I lead food tours, multi-day excursions & host wine tastings and events. I am extremely passionate about my adopted home in the Basque Country and love sharing its delicious side with visitors.

I am a James Beard Foundation scholar from California, went to Le Cordon Bleu Paris and worked on organic farms all over France, Spain & the Basque Country. I originally planned to stay here for only a couple of weeks, but over a decade later, San Sebastián is now home.

The bulk of my kitchen experience took place back in the USA, but I still work as a culinary consultant and produce large scale food festivals and events. I‘m also quite active in the wine industry in both sales and production –I run a micro-winery that produces reds and rosé from Navarra and La Rioja each year.

But it‘s my love for this people and this region – the Basque Country‘s never-ending history and movable feasts. I cannot get enough! I want to share my enthusiasm and passion for this place with you and my VoiceMap audio tour provides.

If all this leaves you hungry and curious, please reach out to me for more info on my activities or follow my blog and social media @basquebites.

Eskerrik Asko (Many Thanks)!

Agur,

Gregory
