Sidrería Immersion: Asturian Cider Culture with a Master…

Step inside a working Asturian cider house to taste the living soul of Asturias — wild-fermented natural cider poured from on high, paired with a full espicha feast of local cheeses, chorizo, and smoked meats.

What to expect

You'll visit a working cider mill on the outskirts of Gijón where apple-scented barrels line stone vaults and the air hums with fermentation. The llagarer walks you through the Asturian cider cycle — from wild-apple harvest to the prized natural sidra — before guiding your first attempt at the theatrical 90 cm overhead pour that aerates the cider perfectly. The espicha table groans with DOP-certified Asturian cheeses (Cabrales, Gamonéu), cured meats, and tortilla. A liquid and edible masterclass in one of Europe's most distinctive regional food cultures.

Good to know

Best combined with a morning Cimavilla walk to fill a full port day. Most cider houses are a short taxi ride (10–15 min) from the cruise terminal. Confirm gluten/dietary requirements in advance. Midday timing aligns perfectly with the traditional espicha hour.
