What to expect
Your guide collects you from your Barcelona accommodation and drives you into the Penedès countryside, arriving at a multigenerational vineyard operation. You'll descend into the cellar—cool, atmospheric, lined with oak and history—while learning how Cava differs from Champagne and what makes this region's terroir distinctive. The guide walks you through grape phenology and the organic farming practices that define modern production here. Back above ground, you taste three Cavas in sequence, each paired thoughtfully with cured meats and artisanal cheese. Expect a relaxed pace; this is not a rushed tasting line.
Good to know
Minimum legal drinking age is 18. The cellar involves some steps and uneven ground, though manageable for most fitness levels. Wear comfortable shoes and a light layer—underground cellars stay cool year-round. Public transport exists nearby if you prefer independent travel instead of hotel pickup.
