SISGA’26
Producers and cider houses can take part in SISGA’26 in person or remotely. Registration makes it possible to enter ciders in the SISGA’26 Awards, take part in an international context and join a programme linked to Asturian cider culture, cider territories and international cooperation.
SISGA offers two modalities for cider houses and producers: in-person participation and remote participation. Both allow ciders to be entered in the SISGA’26 Awards; the main difference is physical presence at the hall, contact with the public and professionals, participation in the International Jury and the number of samples required.

In-person participation requires the attendance of at least one person representing the participating company. It includes participation in the SISGA Awards, accommodation in a four-star hotel for one person on the nights of 25 and 26 September subject to booking conditions, official working meals, the possibility of leading a guided tasting, space in the fair open to the public, the brotherhood espicha and Gala Brunch (one place included for the representative; additional guests: €75).
Remote participation is intended for companies that only wish to take part in the SISGA Awards without attending the event. It allows ciders to be entered by sending samples within the stated deadline.
For in-person participation, one company representative must take part in the International Jury of the SISGA Awards. The International Jury is formed by one representative from each participating cider house and assesses ciders by blind tasting by category.
The SISGA Awards recognise ciders through Premium, Gold, Silver and Bronze distinctions. Premium corresponds to the best-ranked cider in each category; Gold, Silver and Bronze are awarded by score according to the terms. See also the winners’ list and full awards explanation.
Awards and distinctionsAccompanying person price for the whole event: €270. Registration and payment for accompanying persons: exclusively through the SISGA website.
