Description

On this tour to the Igartubeiti winepress, we'll visit a 16th-century farmhouse and a Basque cider house. We'll also enjoy a delicious lunch.

Tour Highlights

We'll pick you up at the indicated time at Calle Bengoetxea in San Sebastián, and from here we'll head to Ezkio. In this Guipuzcoan area, we'll find the Igartubeiti winepress, a 16th-century Basque farmhouse where we'll learn about the elaboration process of cider.

During the visit, we'll see the wooden materials used to squeeze the apples. In the 16th century, cider production required more than one artisanal process, which we'll learn about.

After exploring the installation, we'll head to a Basque cider house. Depending on the season and availability, we'll go to the traditional Aburuza, Astarbe, Petritegi, Iparragirre, or Saizar cider house.

Here, we'll take a guided tour around the site and, at the end, taste a traditional cider. Then, we'll enjoy lunch at the same place, with a menu that includes cod omelette, fried cod, grilled steaks, cheese with marmalade and nuts, bread, cider and water.

After lunch, we'll head back to the meeting point in San Sebastián, where we'll arrive after a 6-hour tour.

Actividad recomendable. La atención y explicaciones de nuestra guía Maya inmejorable. El antiguo lagar es espectacular y merece la pena la visita , la guía del lagar muy amable con explicaciones de las actividades que se realizaban en ese caserío antiguo y después la visita a la sidrería donde te explican todo el proceso de la sidra y degustas de diferentes barricas. La comida en la sidrería de muy buena calidad. Esta excursión valorando la calidad precio es aceptable. Translate this opinion into English.

The food in the cider house of very good quality. This excursion considering the price-quality ratio is acceptable. Opinion translated. Show original.
