What it is like

At Iturrieta, in the Aramaio valley, the cider house shows visitors round its farmhouse by appointment and follows the path the cider takes: the farm's own apple trees and the apple harvest, the pressing and fermentation of the organic natural cider in the kupelas (large casks), and finally the txotx, tasting the cider straight from the cask. It is a friendly, educational visit designed for families, groups and groups of friends.

The website gives no price or duration; bookings are made by phone or WhatsApp. For groups coming from Debagoiena, the cider house can arrange the visit with a coach included.
