Guided cider pairing menu with tour
To youThe visit to this house is very special: we will taste 3 homoemade ciders and two pintxo prepared with great care in their kitchen, and we will round off the visit with a lunch accompanied by a cider pairing. Astarbe Sagardotegia is run by the 15th generation of the family, and its ciders are based on apple varieties that were created in their own farmhouse: Astarbe and Mendiola. Its star products are the Euskal Sagardoa Denomination of Origin cider and the sparkling cider made with native apples. On this solid foundation, the brothers Joseba and Hur, together with their sister Kizkitza and their mother Agurtzane, are currently building the future of the cider house, with the support of the entire work team. In this cider house they have developed an innovative cooking model with local, high-quality products, placing the cider house one step further on the Basque gastronomy.

Back to the origin of Astarbe
Astarbe is a Cider House with a lot of history. The brothers Hur, Joseba and Kizkitza are the 15th generation of the family. The Astarbe have been making cider since 1563, so for years they have been improving the cider making technique and raw materials to this day. They take great care of the apples with which they make the cider and the native raw materials that they use in the kitchen. We will taste Denomination of Origin Euskal Sagardoa cider and a homemade pintxo made with care by local chefs in front of the historic Mendiola farmhouse, while we learn the secrets of the house. To round off the visit, we will toast with txotx in the wooden cellar and taste the traditional cider house menu created with local products.
