"Basque Cider House" guided tour + meal from San Sebastian

About this experience
We will pick you up in San Sebastian so that you can learn, with the help of our guide, the secrets of this thousand-year-old drink very closely linked to the Basque Country and its culture and gastronomy. You will visit the apple orchards, the farmhouse presses/stores, the cider-making areas, the cellars and, naturally, you taste natural home-made cider as we Basques make it: in the bottle and through the ritual called "Txotx". ¡Txoootx! is a call to taste natural cider directly from the barrels while you enjoy a traditional cider house menu. Through the ritual of Txotx you will taste cider from different barrels in the cellars of our cider houses while you enjoy a traditional cider house menu. You will have free time to taste the tasty cider house menu. * The guided tour, as it is a shared service, may be in several languages depending on the origin of the clients.
