Tour Highlights

We will pick you up at the specified time at Calle Bengoetxea in San Sebastián and proceed to Ezkio. In this area of Guipuzkoa, we will visit the Igartubeiti winepress, a 16th-century Basque farmhouse, where we will learn about the elaboration process of cider.

During the visit, we will observe the wooden materials used to squeeze the apples. The cider production in the 16th century involved multiple artisanal processes, which we will explore.

Following our exploration, we will go to a Basque cider house. Depending on the season and availability, we may visit the traditional Aburuza, Astarbe, Petritegi, Iparragirre, or Saizar cider house.

At the cider house, we will take a guided tour and then taste a traditional cider. Lunch will be served on-site, featuring a menu that includes cod omelette, fried cod, grilled steaks, cheese with marmalade and nuts, bread, cider, and water.

After lunch, we will return to the meeting point in San Sebastián, concluding the 5-hour tour.
