About this experience
Experience Basque cider culture with a visit to a traditional cider house near San Sebastian. You will learn about the production of sagardo, from the orchards and presses to the wooden kupelas, with guidance from a local expert. The activity includes walking among native apple trees, exploring different apple varieties, and understanding the fermentation process. You will participate in the txotx ritual, tasting cider directly from the barrel. The tour also includes a classic cider-house menu featuring cod omelette, fried cod, grilled steak, and cheese with quince and walnuts, accompanied by unlimited cider. This experience includes private transportation with hotel pick-up and drop-off, cellar access, and focuses on small-group interaction. It is suitable for food enthusiasts and those interested in learning about Basque traditions, although it may not appeal to those who prefer fast-paced experiences.
