Cider and cheese tasting in Cuevas del Agua

Immerse yourself in an experience of flavor and tradition with the cider and cheese tasting in Cuevas del Agua, located just 15 minutes from the center of Ribadesella, in the Principality of Asturias. Access to this small village —known as Cuevas del Agua— is through a natural grotto, La Cuevona, a 300-meter-long karst formation that makes arriving there an experience in itself.
Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed in a traditional cheesemaking workshop, where you’ll begin a tasting lasting approximately 30 minutes. During the session, you’ll taste natural cider —the most emblematic drink of Asturias— while sampling seven varieties of local cheeses, from the mildest to the most intensely flavored. With the guidance of an expert, you’ll learn about each cheese’s characteristics (type of milk, maturation process, and notes of aroma and texture) and discover the art of pouring cider and the varieties of apples used in its production.
The experience is not only gastronomic but also cultural: you’ll learn about the artisanal work of local producers, their traditional methods, and everyday stories from the Asturian countryside. The atmosphere of the village —surrounded by nature, with traditional houses and hórreos, beside the river and protected by mountains— adds a unique charm to the plan.
Whether you travel alone, as a couple, or with friends, this tasting invites you to relax, enjoy with all five senses, and connect with the Asturian essence. Book your spot and immerse yourself in an authentic experience of flavor, history, and landscape.
