Cava tour to 3 family wineries with hotel pick-up

About this tour

Spend seven hours visiting three generations of cava producers in the Penedès region outside Barcelona. A local guide walks you through the méthode champenoise at each bodega, explaining how these family operations craft Spain's sparkling wine. Between tastings, you'll eat regional dishes paired with their bottles—lunch included, transport from your hotel arranged.

Highlights

• Three intimate family wineries, not commercial operations
• Learn cava production from people who actually make it
• Fresh Spanish food paired with tastings at each stop
• Air-conditioned transport with hotel pick-up included
• Small-group experience with bilingual local guide

What to expect

You'll start with a pick-up from your Barcelona hotel, then drive to the first bodega where the owner or winemaker explains their approach to cava—expect cellars, barrel rooms, and hands-on demonstration. After tasting their range, you'll move to a second winery for lunch with wine pairings. The afternoon brings a third producer, possibly focusing on aged reserves or experimental bottlings. Between stops there's time to absorb the Penedès landscape. Pace is leisurely; this isn't a rushed tick-box tour.
