Wine tasting in Barcelona, Spain! I had the pleasure of wine tasting with the hubz and my…read morebrother's family at Recaredo Winery during our recent vacation to Spain. 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.

If you're thinking about going wine tasting while in Barcelona - go to Cavas Codorniu! It's only 45…read moremin drive from the main city... and totally worth it. 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!

It's a cava production facility so maybe that's why there was an extra level of elegance attached to this place. We did an excursion through WE Barcelona, so I didn't know which facilities we would be visiting until we got on the bus. We started at Can Bas, which is primarily a winery, so no cava there. We took a 4x4 to Pere Ventura and then were led onto a detailed tour of the history of the cava-rie, and the extensive bottles stored in their 3 story wine cellar. There was also a very nice surprise for us during our visit (won't spoil it). The tasting was amazing. These bottles are beautiful and they were displayed like jewelry pieces---lit up from the bottom, just stunning. We had 3 white cavas and 1 rose. I was able to order wines and cavas to ship to the uS for a flat fee of 89 euros. I ended up ordering 6 bottles or wine and cavas and will receive them when I get back. The tastings were paired with tapas such as cheese, jamon and chocolates. Overall, I highly recommend Pere Ventura. It's a beautiful winery with a very educational tour and delicious tastings.

The tasting was probably our least favorite part though, both cavas you get to try are very dry and they don't offer any water.

Guifre and his father were so welcoming and informative about the cava their family has made for over 20 years! We attended a tour on a Monday afternoon. It was just my boyfriend and me so we were worried it would be awkward interacting with the winemakers one on one during the two hours, but Guifre made us feel right at home. He explained the history of cava, how his family came to acquire Sola Raventos, and the process for making each of their cavas. He also showed us the different machinery and each step of the bottling process. They are a small operation (just father and son, no employees) and you can tell they take great pride in their product. The tasting itself was super enjoyable. The cava was so good that we couldn't help but buy a couple of bottles to take home (even though we had more tours scheduled that afternoon and knew people would not be thrilled with us bringing another cava producer's bottles with us! oops). We also enjoyed local snacks that they had taken great care to purchase locally. I loved the honey as well as the olives. When we first arrived, my boyfriend remarked that it smelled like a cigar had been smoked (likely smell from the cellars) and how he wished he could find a place to buy cigars while we were on vacation. Toward the end of our tasting, the owner came down with a cigar from his personal collection that he had been gifted and presented it to my boyfriend. We were blown away by the hospitality! We ended up staying the full two hours and had a great time chatting and drinking cava with Guifre. If you go on a tour here, you won't regret it.

We then sampled a 5th option as compliments of the winery, which was one of the bottles we purchased, It is super delish!
