Cider Tasting

This popular and lively gathering involves the presentation of cider products by numerous participating cider mills, who subject their ciders to the visitors' votes after tasting.

While Gascona Boulevard is usually lively, on the day of the Cider Tasting, it overflows with crowds of people, eagerly looking to taste the seasonal cider and provide their opinion as a qualified popular jury.

The qualities of this street and its hospitality never disappoint, quite the opposite, and the Cider Tasting is one of those occasions when Gascona showcases its excellence.
