Sagastitik Kupelera

Autumn, apple picking and cider making season !

Our cider houses are in the middle of the apple harvest and cider production season of the new 2018 harvest. Autumn is a very important season for our cider. September and October, are two months in which the cider pressing machines do not stop working and the cider houses begin to give off an smell of apple and fermentation.

The Cider Association of Gipuzkoa "Sagardoa Route" with the collaboration of 4 Sidrerías de Gipuzkoa, intends to publicize the work of the wineries in terms of the production of natural cider and some tourist and cultural resources of the territory . Therefore, several activities have been organized in different cider houses within the "Sagastitik Kupelera" initiative. In this event they will participate with the "Open Doors Days" and other activities, the cider houses; Ola de Irún, Iparragirre de Hernani, Satxota de Aia and Petritegi de Astigarraga.

These days offer the possibility of knowing the characteristics of apple picking and the development of cider: washing the apple, its subsequent selection, crushing and pressing. Once the must is obtained, our natural cider must settle for 24 hours in the decanting tanks and then start with the two fermentations, the alcoholic and the lactic hand.

All this will be done with the explanations of the producers of cider and sharing knowledge among all attendees. Whoever wishes, in addition to participating in these activities, can eat some pintxo and taste cider or stay to eat at the cider houses.
