History and atmosphere

About Araeta cider house

Araeta is a cider house where art meets gastronomy, with a focus on innovative, craft-produced apple and pear ciders. It is a restaurant rooted in traditional Basque cooking but with an innovative touch, specialising in chargrilled meat and fish.

Surrounded by gardens and terraces, it is a place for memorable moments, with wine and cider tastings, cookery workshops and all kinds of activities and music events, organised every season for all audiences.

Araeta makes its ciders with apples from its own orchard in Zubieta, including one under the Euskal Sagardoa Designation of Origin (DO), and also makes perry.

From tree to bottle

Araeta’s own house cider

As well as a cider house, it’s a cider maker: it makes its own cider, and what’s served at the table comes from its own cellar.

Quality labels

  • DO Euskal Sagardoa Designation of origin for natural Basque cider: only local apples from registered orchards in Álava, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa, not pasteurised and with no added gas. The French Basque Country joins through the cross-border PDO, pending in the EU. The seal goes on each bottle, not on the cider maker.
