Traditional Cider House Tour

  • 35 reviews | 209 travellers
    What an excellent tour. I booked it as a surprise for my Cousin, and we were not disappointed. Our Tour Guide Maya was excellent, adapted the tour for all of the language groups & was very well informed. Most of all it was a relaxed, enjoyable tour, the Tour, Cider and food were an experience we won’t forget.

Traditional Cider House Tour

At the established time, we'll meet in Bengoetxea street in San Sebastian and travel just 20 minutes by minibus to enjoy a visit to a traditional cider house

When we arrive at our destination, we'll tour the facilities of the Basque cider house. We'll see the apple orchards, the cellars, the production process, and the history that links cider with the Basque Country. Did you know that Basque cider is kept at a lower temperature than Asturian cider? 

After the tour, we'll carry out the Txotx ritual, which consists of drinking the apple broth directly from the vats. While enjoying this tasting, we'll sample a menu consisting of a traditional appetizer, a cod omelet, fried cod with peppers, grilled T-bone steak, and cheese with quince jelly and walnuts. 

The tour will end after four hours, back at the starting point in San Sebastián.

Cider Houses

Depending on the season and availability, we'll visit the Aburuza, Astarbe, Petritegi, Iparragirre, or Saizar cider houses.
