The Basque Land of Cider
Sagardoaren Lurraldea (The Land of Cider) is a tourist brand aimed at enhancing the knowledge of the Basque cider culture through tourism experiences, didactic activities and the organization of events. Its main objective is to put the value of everything that surrounds the process of making cider, from the apple orchards to the bottle, through the press and the barrels.

The heart of Sagardoaren Lurraldea is located in the Sagardoetxea Basque Cider Museum, in the cider village of Astigarraga. From there, innovative experiences are designed offering an important added value to the traditional txotx rite: guided tours, thematic routes, hiking and cycling, food experiences, workshops, tastings, conferences, exhibitions, events and parties are some of the activities that they organize from there.

In addition, Sagardoaren Lurraldea offers a continued service to book cider houses and experiences throughout the Basque Country, both through the website and through its telephone service.
