If you're planning on visiting Barcelona, I highly recommend that you make a wine tasting reservation here. Recaredo Winery is located in a historic Barcelona wine valley called The Penedes Wine Region. They are pioneers in biodynamic, viticulture, and is a step beyond organic farming. Their vineyards are handled with care by hand without the use of industrial machinery, chemical fertilizers, herbicides, or fungicides. They also use old-fashioned, traditional techniques of disgorgement when making wines. It's still done by true artisans, who expel the lees manually at the naturally cool temperatures of the cellars. What also makes their wines unique is the use of their grape juice (instead of using processed sugar) during the fermentation process. Recaredo's long-aged sparkling wines spend a minimum of 2.5 to 20 years in their dark cellars and are only aged with natural cork stoppers. Their dedication and commitment to their community, land, traditional techniques, and quality wines are what makes Recaredo's Corpinnat Sparkling Wines exceptional! I highly recommend a visit if you are staying in the Barcelona area.

The gourmet tour of this winery estate was such a great experience. It's located in the southern…read morepart of Penedès in Catalonia. I'd say a little less than 3 miles from the shoreline. We could see it off in the distance from the property. Apparently, the salt air, cool breeze, and limestone soil creates a microclimate that adds to (or enhances) certain grape ripening characteristics. This is especially good for cava making, as we learned the last time we visited the upper part of this region. What we didn't know was how it affected wine and vinegar. We were about to find out. We were greeted by Marco who gave us a very extensive tour of their wine making facilities. We learned so much from this. What made it even more interesting was the wine vinegar tasting part of it. I know most people are familiar with the old expression about turning wine to vinegar. But, it's really not that simple. We entered the oak barrel lined building where the aging process was taking place. This is where we sampled 4 different types of balsamic made from their chardonnay, merlot, and cabernet sauvignon wines. He also treated us to a sample of the 30 year Antigues Reserves which was my absolute favorite of the 4. It's definitely one to be put away for very special occasions due to its price tag. I later found out that many famous chefs use this brand for cooking. I can totally see why. So, I was even more blown away during our wine tasting and lunch experience. The restaurant is on-site in the middle of one of their vineyards. There's indoor and outdoor seating. As a group, we were seated at a large table indoors. I won't go into any more detail. I'll just say that we loved every single dish, as well as the great service. I was also quite surprised to find a Chardonnay that I actually love. I don't know. Maybe it really does have something to do with the type of barrel. Their wines are fermented in oak barrels from the Nevers region of France. I know I'll be looking for this in the future when shopping for wine. My only regret is that I didn't purchase anything that day. It's not readily available in the states. However, I did find the vinegar set online at a sustainable gourmet shop in Tacoma. I've been enjoying it as a vinaigrette, and will eventually use some of the online Avgvstvs Forvm recipes as a reference. There's so much I want to say. Why is it named after the Via Augusta? What happened to the vineyards in Europe during the Great French Wine Blight? You'll just have to read all about it (or take the tour). It was a beautiful and memorable day!!

Their tour that includes a train/trolley ride through the underground caves is so fun, impressive, and all in all, very informative. The grounds of the winery are gorgeous, after the tour we hung out in the garden, where we had lunch and more cava. All staff was very nice and attentive the guests. I felt that the pricing of the tour and wine were reasonable - I remember paying $18-20 for a bottle of delicious Cava. Nothing like the Sonoma/Napa prices! Heck, even lunch was fairly priced, plus you get beautiful views of the mountains and the winery. FYI: there are other wineries to explore in this area. also, the Monserrat monestary was only a 45 minute drive from Cavas Codorniu.

First, you'll need to call a taxi upon arrival at the train station in town. We were not prepared for this and it was a headache, so just make sure you have that number in your phone ahead of time. The train and taxi are well worth the trip once you get there. Codorniu is a cava lover's oasis. Not only is the property picturesque and historic, but the staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. After touring the stunning grounds, you'll get to take an underground tram through the property. Eventually, you'll arrive at a tasting room where you can try several of their cavas. It's basically an adult playground and I can guarantee you won't regret your visit!

In addition, the wine is delicious, and uniquely and beautifully packaged. However, few people stay at the farm house when they visit and they are really missing out. The house itself has been thoughtfully and masterfully updated and modernized and has many comforts including some of the most comfortable mattresses I have ever slept on in Europe, high thread-count sheets and pillows, super-plush towels, and beautiful bathtubs. Every detail is in good taste, the house is kept immaculately clean, and the staff is lovely from the groundskeepers, to the host, to the cleaning ladies. Breakfast was delicious and offered local products, some of which they produced themselves. There is a beautiful, and very private, pool to take a dip in at any time. And after breakfast we fed the Iberian pigs on the property breakfast scraps which was a lot of fun. Both the location and the woman managing the property, Lory, made our trip to Catalonia and the Costa Brava. We had such a great time hanging out and Lory's recommendations were incredible. The beaches she suggested were the cleanest, least touristy, and most picturesque I've ever been to in the Mediterranean, and I've been to some incredible beaches. She made reservations for us at incredible restaurants, places that were small, used food from their own gardens and local artisans, and off-the-radar spots no visitor could ever find on their own. Again, she made our stay there our most favorite place in our month long trip across Spain and France. Lory alone makes staying at Bell-Lloc more than worth it. Thank you Bell-Lloc for a wonderful experience.

If you are curios about his credentials, he is a Certified Sommelier (CMS European Court) but much more important to me was his experience working in wine tourism in different parts of the world (his native California and more recently Catalonia).
