Cider house experience from San Sebastian
Overview
Immerse yourself in Basque cider culture with a visit to a traditional cider house from San Sebastian. Discover how sagardo is made, from orchards and presses to the old wooden kupelas, guided by a local expert.
Walk among native apple trees, learn about varieties and fermentation, and enjoy the ritual of txotx, tasting cider straight from the barrel. Then, savour the classic cider-house menu: cod omelette, fried cod, grilled steak, and cheese with quince and walnuts paired with unlimited cider to explore its fresh and fruity notes.
