*Txotx Dinner: A Collaboration with Gipuzkoa Basque Country* Imagine the crisp, sharp aroma of fresh cider filling the air. Listen to the rhythmic clinking of wooden barrels echoing through historic walls. You can literally feel the excitement in the room. No, we aren’t inside a sidrería (a traditional cider house) nestled in the green hills just outside San Sebastián. We are right in the heart of Bornheim! Txotx! How a Basque Cider Night Brought San Sebastián to Frankfurt. As this year’s guest of honor at Cider World, the Gipuzkoa region brought the authentic Basque Country experience straight to the Bornheimer Ratskeller. The evening beautifully proved that cider is much more than just a drink, it’s a lifestyle that transcends borders. Between traditional courses and lively, sparkling tastings, we experienced firsthand the true meaning of Basque hospitality.
