DOWNTOWN BOISE FIRST THURSDAYS

This month, First Thursday is potato themed! Expect a potato themed pintxo menu featured alongside our traditional Chorizo & Seafood Paella. Service starts at 6:00pm and goes until we sell out!

Whew—it’s hot outside! Beat the heat with three refreshing chilled soups that deliver big flavor without turning on the stove or heating up the house. In this demonstration-style class, we'll explore classic Spanish cold soups that are perfect for summer entertaining, light lunches, or cooling off on a warm day. You'll learn simple techniques, flavor balancing, and presentation tips while we prepare three delicious no-cook soups.

Gazpacho Verde
A vibrant green twist on traditional gazpacho, this refreshing soup combines cucumbers, green peppers, herbs, and other fresh summer vegetables for a bright, crisp flavor and beautiful color.

Salmorejo
This rich and velvety soup from southern Spain is made with ripe tomatoes, bread, olive oil, and garlic. Thicker and creamier than traditional gazpacho, it offers a satisfying balance of sweetness and acidity.

Ajo Blanco
Often called “white gazpacho,” this elegant chilled soup blends almonds, garlic, olive oil, and bread into a silky, refreshing dish. Traditionally garnished with grapes or melon, it delivers a unique combination of savory and subtly sweet flavors.

Join us for a cool culinary escape and discover why these timeless Spanish soups are summer favorites.

Be sure to arrive 30 minutes early (5:30 PM) to enjoy pintxos, sample wines, settle in, and get ready to watch the magic happen. Class begins promptly at 6:00 PM.

We’re partnering with Telaya Wine Co. for a special paella dinner experience in the vineyard. Relax while enjoying a taste of the Basque Country paired with Telaya Wines.

Seating is limited so reserve your spot early! Note: tickets are sold through Telaya Wine Co., Taldea member discounts do not apply.

Paella is Spain's most iconic dish — and one The Basque Market has proudly made its own.

Inspired by the Basque Country's home along the Bay of Biscay, our version is built around the sea: clams, shrimp, and mussels. But we're Basque through and through — Basque in Boise, no less — so naturally there's one ingredient we can't live without: chorizo. Paired with chicken, saffron, pimentón, and perfectly cooked rice, it all comes together in the paella our guests keep coming back for.

In this demonstration-style class, we'll walk you through the techniques behind exceptional paella — building layers of flavor, mastering the rice, and achieving that coveted crust. Along the way, we'll share the history of this emblematic Spanish dish and explain the role each ingredient plays in its distinctive character.

Plan to arrive at 5:30 PM to enjoy pintxos, sample wines, and settle in before class begins promptly at 6:00 PM.

Watch, learn, and taste as we share our favorite tips, techniques, and stories behind this beloved dish. Every class includes light pintxos, a wine tasting, and a generous serving of our chicken, chorizo, and seafood paella as the grand finale.

Tickets are $60 per person. Tickets are NON-REFUNDABLE, but they are transferable if you want to gift a friend.

As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, there's no better time to discover the rich, complex world of sherry. Often overlooked and widely misunderstood, sherry is one of Spain's most fascinating wines, offering an incredible range of styles that pair beautifully with food.

We'll make sherry approachable and fun as we explore four distinct styles, from crisp and dry to rich and nutty. Along the way, you'll learn about the history of sherry, the unique Solera aging system, and the traditions of the Sherry Triangle in southern Spain. We'll discuss how sherry is made, what makes each style unique, and why this versatile wine deserves a place at every table.

Each sherry will be thoughtfully paired with a seasonal pintxo inspired by the flavors of fall, showcasing how food and wine can elevate one another. Expect comforting autumn ingredients, creative pairings, and plenty of opportunities to discover new favorites.

Whether you're completely new to sherry or already a fan, this class will deepen your appreciation for one of Spain's greatest treasures while providing inspiration for effortless fall entertaining.

Be sure to arrive 30 minutes early (5:30 PM) for a light Sherry cocktail and settle in. Tasting will begin at 6:00 PM.

Event includes a welcome cocktail, sherry tastings, four paired pintxos, and a lively exploration of the history, production, and enjoyment of Spain's most distinctive wine.
