Tour Overview
Taste cheese at an authentic Idiazabal cheese farm and drink Basque cider from the barrel on this full-day tour.
You will learn first hand from a shepherd about the techniques of cheese-making before tasting the farm's Idiazabal Designation of Origin cheese.
Next, head to a Basque Cider House in Astigarraga, without a doubt one of the towns with the greatest cider tradition in the entire Basque Country.
Here you will enjoy a typical cider house lunch with delicacies such as cod omelet, fried cod with green peppers, “txuleta” (a big rib eye steak), Idiazabal cheese with quince and walnuts and self-serve cider.
At the end of your tour you will be taken back to your accommodation in San Sebastian.
