The experience

A sagardotegi is a place to meet, share and enjoy the Basque way of eating together. A local host helps you choose a cider house and introduces the story of the apples, fermentation and customs that give this tradition its character.

If you choose to stay for a traditional menu, it is booked subject to availability and paid separately. Barrel tastings and the txotx ritual depend on the house, season and agreed programme. Our service is the local accompaniment and cultural introduction, not an automatically included meal.
