With a professional guide, visit 3 different kinds of wineries in the Penedés region that showcase the very best of Catalan cava (sparkling wine). Learn the traditional and modern methods for producing wine and cava, discover the different varieties, and savour the taste of them.

After meeting your guide at the designated spot, begin the tour at one of the most famous, and in fact, the very first cava producer in the region—the family winery of Codorniu. The reputation of this centuries-old winemaker, both in Spain and around the world, shows the quality of their wine. Learn all about the cava-making process, and even stand in the very room deep underground where the very first bottle of cava was made over 150 years ago. At the end of the visit, you get to sample some of their most emblematic wines.

From here, travel back to the past and a time when every step, every detail was done by hand. At this winery, quality and the utmost respect for tradition matter most. The result is a beautifully aged cava considered by the experts to be one of the best sparkling wines in Spain. They are proud to keep the true artisan process alive and limit the use of machinery in their winemaking.

For lunch, visit the local village where there are a number of lunch options for you to choose. Ask your guide for advice on the best places to eat, and then meet back up with them once your hunger is satiated.

Although most famous for its cava, Penedés also is home to several incredible wineries. In the afternoon, stop by an organic winery, specialising in white and red-still wine. On this last stop of the day, you sample a variety of wines including red, white, rosé, and of course, cava.
