V SAGARDO FORUM

As in Asturias, cider is part of the culture, gastronomy and way of living in the Basque Country, which leads to the celebration of important international fairs such as Sagardo Forum, celebrated in Guipuzcoa every second year to bring together the most relevant professionals from diverse disciplines related to cider.

Without a doubt, it is an excellent opportunity to share and grasp from other experiences and business trajectories about cider, a perfect space to analyse the current situation, as well as the forthcoming trends and promotion opportunities.

Opening/ Presentación

The V edition of the Sagardo Forum, organised by Sagardoaren Lurraldea, took place from 20th November to 2nd December this year with the celebration of various activities.

On Thursday 30th November, the IV International Cider Competition took place at the Kursaal Conference Centre in San Sebastian, where expert tasters from all over the world were able to sample more than 250 ciders, classified into nine categories.

The technical conferences on apples, cider, cider culture and tourism were held on Friday 1st December at the Erribera Kulturgunea facilities (Astigarraga), with the participation of national and international professionals who, through various presentations, provided an overview of the current situation, as well as the evolution that cider has undergone in recent years.

Finally, on Saturday 2nd December, the III International Cider Fair took place in the Kursaal, with the aim of being able to taste all kinds of local, national and international ciders.

The programme was completed with the so-called Cider Week, during which themed dinners and tastings were held, as well as visits to apple tree orchards, cideries and museums.

Once again this year, Asturian ciders occupied a prominent place on the podium, winning a total of 41 awards.
