Izeta

A family with two passions: making cider and Basque strength sports know as Harri-jasotzea (stone lifting). For five generations they have been well-known in the area for both reasons.
The Ayeta Goikoa farmhouse was converted into the Izeta Cider House in 1983 by Manuel who never looked back. Three decades later his grandson, Gotzon, oversees production.
The family is imbued into the greater Basque community as a provider of great entertainment and delectable, old-style cider.
After decades of family cider production, in 1983, Izeta Sagardotegia opened its doors to the general public in the Izeta Goikoa farmhouse. Now the 5th generation, headed by Gotzon Iruretagoiena, oversees production, and the farmhouse is a popular restaurant and cider house. Izeta makes classic Basque cider, uncarbonated and unfiltered. The D.O. Euskal Sagardoa denotes both quality and origin. The cider must be made from exclusively local Basque apples and must undergo extensive analytical tests and tastings.
