SAGARDOETXEA: from the museum to the cider house
Sagardoetxea proposes a tourist product that puts the basque culture and traditions, the cider world and the housing of one of the most rooted gastronomical rites – the cider house – within everybody’s reach.
Sagardoetxea: the basque cider museum.
The museum is divided into three well-defined sections, through which the visitors can get in touch with the apple and cider history, as well as its present situation: firstly, the apple orchard and the press. secondly, the museum itself, and finally the tasting centre.
A different activity for each season.
Sagardoetxea is a lively space that deals with the apple and cider culture and offers you a different activity for each season: getting the newly pressed must with your own hands, picking up apples with the help of a “kizki” and observing the fruit ripening, the grafts, the pollination and so on.
The cider house: gastronomy and culture.
The proposal we are putting forward culminates by coming to the cider house. Sagardoetxea makes you know one of the most rooted traditions, and one of the gastronomical events that best identify the basques.
However, lets point out that this is not a restaurant but a cider cellar, whose rules for proper behavior have their specific characteristics. to get to know them is also part of the tradition. Sagardoetxea proposes a guided tour at a cider house and/or the testing of its menu.
Sagardoetxea the basque cider museum
The museum is divided into three well-defined sections, through which you can get in touch with the apple and cider history, and its present situation.
The apple orchard
This is an open space where you can, in a dynamic and pedagogical way, get to know the apple culture. here, you can see the different types and varieties of apples, their ripening process, the grafts, the different kinds of picking them up and their grinding and pressing.
To complete the tour we organize a visit to the cider press or “tolare” –which dates back to the xix century- and where the production process of the cider with the orchard crop is fairly reproduced.
The museum
It is located at the foot of the apple orchard and gives you the opportunity to learn about this millenary tradition by watching the different tools –that belonged to the “sagardogile” or cider master- a projection of multi-media documentaries, a number of explanatory panels, games and photographs. in a word, the apple and cider present, past and future. also the rites and customs around it and the different drinks made from apples.
The tasting centre
The third section in dedicated to the tasting of cider -following the traditional style of the “txotx”- and of the gozo gozo products selected by the museum, must liqueur and quince preserve.
We introduce you to the “txotx” so that you can learn in advance the rites and secrets implicit in the tasting at a cider house, among which are the way the glass must be held, how to lean it in order to get some good froth or “txinparta”, how to examine and interpret the range of shades in its colour., and to discern its different bouquets.
The shop
Sagardoetxea has a shop where you can buy a great variety of cider, all types of products derived from apples, as well as souvenirs, promotion products, booklets and whatever information you might require regarding the apple world.
The products on sale at the shop can also be acquired from our shop on-line at “Sagardodenda.com”.

Guided visit to a cider house
A guided visit to a traditional cider house, where all the making of cider is shown: arrival of the apples, cleaning, crushing, pressing, must scumming, alcoholic and matolactic fermentation, ripening and bottling.
Tasting the typical cider house menu
We must point out that the Cider House is not a restaurant, but a cellar with its own rules for proper behaviour. Although these are quite simple, they arouse the visitors’curiosity, which makes this custom not only be kept alive, but also to be considered as a unique experience.
The traditional menu at a Cider House is practically the same in most of them, though there might be some little variations on special occasions. However, thy will not alter in any sense the real meaning and the idiosyncrasy characteristic of this experience.
The menu consists of a cod omelet, fried cod with green peppers, steak, cheese and quince preserve, walnuts and cider taken following the “txotx” style.
Thematic dinner at cider houses
