Tourism & Travel / Cider
Spanish term or phrase: cofradía
I can´t decide how to translate 'cofradía' in this context - guild / fraternity / association etc? Any help appreciated. Thanks!

En Hernani se sitúan 12 sidrerías, agrupadas todas ellas dentro de la ***cofradía** TOLAREA. Esta cofradía fue fundada en1996 al amparo de Berriak -Asociación de Comerciantes de Hernani- y cabe destacar su labor de promoción de la sidra. Entre otras cosas, organiza dos fiestas durante el año para impulsar la tradición sidrera: “Capitulo anual” y “ Día de la manzana y de la sidra”.

El Capitulo anual se celebra el tercer domingo de marzo. A este festejo asisten varias **cofradías** ataviadas con sus correspondientes vestimentas: ***Cofradía** del salmón de Irún, la del pimiento de Ezpeleta, de la trucha, del jamón, del cuto divino... Se realizan los nombramientos de nuevos Cofrades de Honor, personas vinculadas al entorno de la sidra. A continuación, todas las cofradías, acompañadas por la música de la Banda Municipal desfilan por las principales calles de Hernani. Al llegar al Ayuntamiento, se realiza la entronización y juramento de los nuevos cofrades. Por último, celebran una comida de confraternización en una sidrería del municipio.

Although the dictionary didn't give it, I think your idea of fraternity is fine as well.

Here are some Internet samples of the use of "Basque culinary brotherhoods". One also refers to them as "gastronomic societies" so that could be another option.

  -> Good morning and thanks, Gilla.
agree  neilmac: Yes, in fact "lodge" pretty much works for me too here... eeny meeny---

  -> The hitch is that most of these people are not tradesmen, but rather culinary fanatics, half social club and half something akin to a masonic lodge (women not allowed as members for instance).
agree  Adriana Rubinstein

  -> Good afternoon and thanks, Adriana.
agree  Muses Inc: The nature of a cofradía suggests they are rather a brotherhood than a guild
