Join Ash Mair, the Australian-born winner of MasterChef: The Professionals in 2011, on tours in the destination he loves most - Spain. Wander through the food markets, meeting local artisan producers, and tasting delicious bite-sized pinxtos (the tapas of northern Spain) and immerse yourself in the rich tastes of this colourful country.

A huge highlight for Ash on the MasterChef series was travelling to Spain and cooking at the 3 Michelin starred restaurant El Celler De Can Roca, voted the world’s best restaurant in 2013. Here he prepared a Spanish inspired lobster and quinoa dish; cooking with the flair and robust flavours that won him the entire competition.

'Culinary passion of the Basques' 6 days/5 nights departing 14th October 2014, from £1,895 per person

Ash's first visit to the Basque country in 2000 was the beginning of a love affair with Spanish cuisine. Entranced by fabulous fresh ingredients and comforting robust flavours he knew he had found food heaven. Basque cuisine formed the basis of his winning menu on MasterChef and now he will introduce you to some of his favourite ingredients and some very special places too on a culinary tour of San Sebastian.

After his introduction, continue in the company of local expert guides to discover the vineyards and markets of Bilbao on the Basque coast.

Join Ash for:
  • Introductory talk on Basque cuisine.
  • Local cider tasting & lunch in Astigarraga.
  • Guided tasting tour for an introduction to pintxos.
  • Walking tour of La Bretxa Market.
  • Cooking demonstration & lunch with a San Sebastian gastronomic society.
