If you like cider, don't miss this day trip to a Basque cider house. You'll have the opportunity to complete the experience by visiting a Basque farmhouse.

Activity Details

At the established time, we'll meet in Bengoetxea Street in San Sebastian and travel just 20 minutes 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.

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.

If you want an even more complete experience, during the booking process, you can also choose the option of a day trip to a Basque cider house with a visit to a Basque farmhouse. In this case, we'll head to Ezkio. In this town in Gipuzkoa, we'll find the lagar de Igartubeiti, a 16th-century Basque farmhouse where we'll learn about the cider elaboration process. The total duration of this option is 5 hours.

Cider Houses
