What you can expect
Immerse yourself in the heart of Basque cider culture with our “Enjoy the Unique and Fun Basque Cider Culture” tour. Departing from the Kiosk boulevard in San Sebastián, we'll drive 15 minutes to a charming old cider farmhouse, where you'll experience the essence of our gastronomic heritage.
Our Basque and English-speaking guide, not just a guide but your friend in the journey, will walk you through the cider production facilities. Gain insights into the historical significance and cultural importance of cider in the Basque Country. Discover the unique “Txotx” ritual, a festive act deeply rooted in friendship, respect, culture, and fun.
As we enter the cellar surrounded by ancient giant oak barrels, the heart of the cider farmhouse, get ready to be amazed by the “Txotx” ritual. Pour your own cider and savor the original and delightful dishes, including chorizo, cod omelet, cod in green sauce, grilled beef steak, and a cheese platter with nuts and quince.
The cider farmhouse experience goes beyond the tasting; it's a communal celebration where people gather around the barrels, pour cider, and create a vibrant atmosphere filled with joy and interaction. Enjoy the freedom to pour as much cider as you desire, complemented by apple juice and a comforting cup of coffee.
