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. Today Axpe cider carries the Euskal Sagardoa Designation of Origin, which in 2017 took over from Eusko Label as the seal for Basque natural cider. 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.

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.
