We were so lucky to visit this sidreria, had a great time touring around it with the owners' sons who also play an important role in the production of this delicious cider, and had an amazing tasting experience right off the 'barrels'. They ordinarily don't receive any visitors but they so kindly welcomed us and open the doors of their family owned business for us to visit. They spent a good amount of time with us, explaining to us the entire process of making cider from picking the apples to fermentation, to bottling, etc. We tasted cider at the different stages in production. Needless to say their cider is the best we tried while in northern Spain. It's acidic and dry, with just the right amount of sweetness. We also purchased a bottle of their sweet cider which is the latest project they were working on. The production of this gem utilizes the methodology of ice wine to make sweet, golden cider with a nice level of acidity, definitely a treat! Visiting Zapiain was an experience we will never forget and one we were so grateful to have had the opportunity to enjoy. read more
