Iruin, also known for its Astiazaran cider, is a traditional sagardotegia located just outside San Sebastián. Loved not only by locals but also by people working in nearby restaurants, it is a special place to discover one of the Basque Country’s most authentic cider-making traditions.

Iruin is considered one of the last artisanal cider houses producing 100% natural cider using traditional methods. Their cider is made without added water, sugar, or carbon dioxide, respecting the natural rhythm of fermentation and the old way of crafting sagardoa. This careful, hands-on approach gives their cider a distinctive character that reflects both the quality of the apples and the experience of the maker.

During the visit, you can taste several homemade products, including their signature cider “11:11”, txakoli, and TXERRI. The tasting offers a chance to experience the range of flavors created by this small but highly respected producer.

For travelers who want to go beyond the tourist route, Iruin offers a warm, local, and genuinely traditional cider house experience—where natural cider is still made with patience, craft, and deep respect for Basque heritage.
