Cider vermouth Gurutzeta

In the Ergobia neighborhood of Astigarraga stands Gurutzeta Cider Cellar, just six kilometers from San Sebastián. Its origins date back to the late 19th century, when Joxe Mari Urreaga, from the Largaene farmhouse, and Joxepa Inaxi Aranburu, from the Sansonategi farmhouse, launched a family project deeply connected to the land, the apple, and the cider press. For more than a century, four generations of the same family gradually consolidated and modernized the cider house, expanding the cellar and incorporating new production techniques while preserving its traditional essence. In 2024, the Etxeberria family took over management, bringing their own experience in cider making — from producing for family consumption to commercializing their cider in 1975 and developing the hospitality model and the traditional txotx ritual from 1980 onwards. Today, under the direction of Igor Huegun Etxeberria, Gurutzeta unites the experience of two cider-making families and opens a new chapter that combines heritage, professionalism, and a forward-looking vision.
