3 Reasons to Travel with
Modern Adventure & John Manion
Local Experience
We love to share the essence of a destination, based on real-life experience and local knowledge. In Basque Country, that might mean standing at the bar in a pintxos spot as plates pass from hand to hand, walking coastal paths between fishing villages, or spending time with makers whose work is shaped by the land and sea around them.
Traveling with John
Chef John Manion is drawn to food that speaks clearly and confidently. A longtime champion of live-fire cooking and one of Chicago's most distinctive culinary voices, John has built his career around the idea that extraordinary ingredients need little embellishment. That philosophy finds a natural home in Basque Country, where charcoal-grilled seafood, simply prepared pintxos, and crisp glasses of txakoli celebrate flavor in its purest form.
Seriously Good Eating
We are purveyors of celebration and joy. We'll uncover the absolute wonder of Northern Spain's vibrant flavors and fresh local ingredients, wood-fired seafood pulled from the Cantabrian coast to slow-cooked stews in mountain towns.
