About this tour
Roll up your sleeves at a working Catalan winery to learn how cava actually gets made. Over three hours, you'll disgorge, cork, and label your own bottle while tasting multiple expressions of the region's signature fizz. The owners walk you through production methods that span centuries, then sit down with local tapas to show you how cava pairs with food. You leave with a bottle you've finished yourself, plus stories worth retelling.

What to expect
You'll start in the working winery where the owners or their team explain cava production from vine to bottle—the méthode champenoise process that makes it fizz. Then comes the hands-on bit: you'll actually perform disgorging (removing sediment), cork your bottle, and design the label. Between tasks, you'll taste several cava expressions to understand how style and age change the flavour. Afterwards, settle in with tapas and your finished cava to see how they work together. The whole thing takes about three hours and feels more like a friend showing you their craft than a ticketed attraction.
Good to know
Minimum age 18. You'll be on your feet and working with bottles, so wear something you don't mind getting dusty. Public transport gets you there, though a taxi or hire car is easier. Bring a phone or camera if you want to document your bottle. Gratuities aren't included but tipping the owners directly is customary.
