History and atmosphere
About Axpe cider house
A cider house open during the txotx season (January to April), when cider is drunk straight from the cask. Four generations of the Axpe family have made cider, and the cider house you can visit today was set up in 1996. Axpe cider holds the Eusko Label quality certification. An artisan tradition based on zero-kilometre fruit from around Markina-Xemein.
From tree to bottle
Axpe’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.
