Llagar Castañón: Four Generations of Cider Passion in Asturias
Info
Founded in 1938 by Julián Castañón's grandfather, our family cider maker is a symbol of Asturian tradition made cider. Today, with the fourth generation already integrated in the team, we fuse artisan know-how with innovation: since our move in 2011 to modern facilities, we work to maintain the balance between heritage, quality and avant-garde.
Cider Tourism: Experience the Journey from Apple to Bottle.
Discover how we make our PDO Natural Cider on a guided tour of the cider mill. We show you the complete journey of the apple: from its arrival (in the harvest months, October and November), to the pressing, fermentation and bottling.
The experience includes a tasting of "espichada" cider, tasting it directly from the barrel is an authentic ritual. Asturian innovation, we present our unique creations, such as the Roxmut Cider Vermouth and the refreshing Frizzante Xiz.
In addition to our star products, at Llagar Castañón we make La Bonagua Ice Cider, an exclusive jewel. This cider, not included in the tasting, is produced with apples selected at their optimum ripeness and through a delicate freezing process. A product for gourmets that reflects the utmost care and tradition.
Why visit us? Living history: Family tradition since 1938 making cider with passion. Interactive experience, learn, taste and enjoy. Innovative products: from the classic, natural cider to the revolutionary, Roxmut, Xiz and La Bonagua.
Come and feel Asturias in every sip!
