Guided visit to Sagardoetxea, Basque Cider Museum

Sagardoetxea, the Basque Cider Museum, is located in Astigarraga, at the heart of Gipuzkoa's cider-making territory. The guided visit unfolds across two complementary spaces that together offer a full picture of apple and cider culture, from its historical roots to the present day. The route begins in the apple orchard, where the cultivation of the apple tree and its relationship with the local landscape are explained in a dynamic and engaging way. The orchard changes with the seasons — blossom in spring, harvest in autumn — giving each visit its own character. The museum then explores the past, present and future of Basque cider, covering the production process and the deep historical bond between cider and Basque culture. The visit ends with a guided tasting that teaches participants how to appreciate cider, identify its nuances and discover the different types of drinks made from apples. An experience that brings together landscape, history and gastronomy in a single visit. Advance booking is recommended.
