Guided tastings in Basque Cider Houses
A short visit of 30 minutes before the lunch to learn more about the product, ideal for groups
Every year comes the txotx season, the time to go to the cider house in the Basque Country. There are lots of you who approach the local cider houses every year from January to May or in summer to enjoy the best cider and the exquisite gastronomy offered by the cider cellars.
I'm here today to propose a plan to round up your stay at the cider house. Many questions arise about cider and its mode of consumption: what kind of apple is used? How long does it take to ferment cider? Why is it consumed directly from barrels? Why do we shout txotx when we do so? When did this tradition start? And many more questions!
I suggest you make a little guided tasting at one of our cider houses. It's a 30-minute visit and tasting you can make with your friends, your partner or your family. Before you start having lunch, you can immerse yourself in the Basque cider culture to learn about different aspects of cider. Above all, you will have the opportunity to know in depth the family that owns the cider shop, the history of it and the farm, and all the secrets of the cider culture.
Besides, you'll do all this while you taste the best cider. The introduction to the family, cider and ciderhouses is brief, but necessary. You will become a connoisseur of this liquid gold that has been made for centuries. What are you waiting for to book your guided tasting? Cider's waiting for you!
