Sparkling Secrets of Catalonia

Welcome to the heart of Catalonia — where vineyards meet history, and every glass of cava tells a story. I’ll pick you up in my car, and we’ll head south to the legendary wine region of Penedès, just about 30 minutes from Sitges. As we drive through the endless vineyards, you’ll begin to feel the charm and rhythm of the local way of life. Our first stop will be at a unique winery, where we’ll descend 12 meters underground to the cellars. There, in the cool silence, surrounded by aging bottles, we’ll open a freshly disgorged cava — so you can taste its purest flavor, just moments after the final stage of its creation. Next, you’ll enjoy a tasting session in a charming historic garden, accompanied by small local bites and stories about the region, its winemaking traditions, and the origins of cava. Just five minutes away, you’ll be welcomed to a lunch on the terrace of my home, overlooking the most stunning views of the vineyards. There will be cheeses, cured meats, homemade tortilla, tapas, and of course, the classic Catalan bread with tomatoes and local olive oil. I promise, you won’t leave hungry. But that’s not all — we’ll play with real Mediterranean aromas, and I’ll introduce you not only to cava, but also to another sparkling wine that is made exclusively here in Penedès. This isn’t just a wine tour. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
