Description
Spend a relaxed day with us away from the bustling city and discover Cava & Chocolate - a local tradition.
We will visit picturesque Sant Sadurni just 45 minutes outside of Barcelona in the famous Penedès wine region. When arriving at the train station we are greeted by the smell of freshly roasted cocoa beans. This quiet market town is not only home of the best Catalan chocolate maker but also the center of Cava production - the local sparkling wine made according to the same method and quality as French Champagne.
A short 10 minutes walk will lead us to an artisan Cava maker. With a history spanning more than 150 years this small scale, family run winery focuses on crafting premium quality, organic Cava. Descending into the cellars where the bottles are resting we will explain the history and methods used to create high quality sparkling wine. Upstairs we will have the chance to observe the disgorging and labelling process. We finish this experience in the leafy courtyard where we will take our time to enjoy various vintages while learning more about the different types of Cava.
For lunch we will go to an excellent restaurant in the village where will have a 4 course menu with half a bottle of wine per person included. Since 1999 the restaurant has been offering market-based cuisine that highlights seasonal ingredients at their peak. Their modern and creative dishes blend innovation with tradition, using new techniques to preserve the essence of each ingredient, all with a commitment to quality, humility, and perseverance.
After a stroll through the village's narrow streets we arrive to the chocolate factory with a tradition of 175 years. Here we will enjoy a unique experience for all five senses. Not only will we learn about cocoa, chocolate’s history and culture but also taste their different specialties.
We will return by train to Barcelona in the late afternoon.
