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.

We were looking for a little rest from all the merriment when we happened across AmoVino . From the moment we stepped into this space, the minimalist and elegant aesthetic combined with the warm smiles from the welcoming staff suggested that we were in for a relaxing and rewarding experience . I'm sure that the staff had been working extra hard on this holiday, with busloads of people in the streets, but Erick--the calm and gracious host--took time to thoughtfully and expertly suggest vegetarian menu items that we'd enjoy . He was spot on . We also really appreciated that he suggested local/regional wines for us to experience . We cannot praise Erick and this establishment enough . It is a true wine and food experience . The only negative is that, being from California, we can't pop in any time we what... because you know we would! Thanks!

Cava is an all day drink for most spaniards and I totally understand as it is quite tasty and honestly rivals its big brother (Sparking and Champagne counterparts). I was fortunate enough to visit Cava Llopart which is one of the regions most prevalent Cava producers. It is about an hour drive outside of Barcelona into its mountainous region with spectacular views of the valley and distant mountain ranges. They have plenty of parking and do not get a ton of foot traffic, so expect a more intimate experience. The basic tour is about 19 euro, but they do offer a more inclusive tour for 35 euro and all with senior discounts. I opted for the latter which was one of the better tours I have had in some time. The staff all speak fluent English and are incredibly welcoming and very knowledgeable when it comes to their craft. Make sure to take in all the history of this winery as it dates back quite some time, and really shows during its winery tour especially in the caves. Of course the highlight itself was the sit down tasting with bites! The Cava itself was out of this world, and so affordable! Of course they were willing to ship to the US, but I preferred to grab a few bottles for the remainder of my vacation (Lasted only a few days!). As with most wine in Spain, do not expect to see to many high priced bottles as they thrive on affordability versus overcharging their guests. I would recommend this winery and tour to anyone honestly who is looking for a day trip outside of Barcelona as it was surely a highlight in my trip!

Pro tip: Go early in the day because (1) that's when the light will be the best for photos for the incredible view over Montserrat and (2) these cavas are so good, you should taste them on a fresh palette!
