Cavatast

WHERE: Sant Sadurni d’Anoia, Spain
WHEN: from 06 to 08 October 2023

Cava is a very popular traditional wine in Spain. It is produced with the “champenoise” method, the same as in Champagne, and obtained with different grape varieties; among these, the main ones are Macabeo, Parellada and Xarel·lo, autochthonous varieties of Penedés, a small Catalan area.

And, right in Catalonia, every first weekend of October is celebrated the Cava Festival, one of the most popular events for lovers of good drink. Appointment, as usual, in the small town of Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, about 40 minutes away from Barcelona. It is one of the most important countries in the production of wine

Waiting for you, there will be 22.000 gastronomic tastings. And, of course, it will be the Cava the great protagonist of the 3 days of the Festival, with over 42.300 wine tastings.

You will also have the opportunity to visit the cellars open for the occasion. You will be able to know, in close proximity, the techniques used in the production. The Celler de la Fassina will be a real nerve center this year, with workshops, workshops, activities and, of course, tastings. At Cavatast, you will find a warm and welcoming environment.
