How to choose
Which experience is right for you?
Choose Become a Cava Expert if…
…you want to meet a winemaker and have a real hands-on activity, not just taste. This is my personal signature experience - a private Cava tour from Barcelona that takes you inside a family Cava winery in Penedès to truly understand traditional-method sparkling wine. Step by step you discover how the bubbles are born: second fermentation in the bottle, ageing on the lees, riddling and disgorgement. Then you train your senses in a playful blind tasting, compare three Cavas side by side with an ancestral-method sparkling wine, and disgorge your own bottle of Cava by hand - one of the most dramatic and memorable moments in sparkling-wine production. You finish on the terrace overlooking the vineyards and take a bottle of Cava Reserva home. At about 5 hours including private transfer from Barcelona, it is the right pick for curious wine lovers, couples and small groups who want a hands-on winery experience in Penedès and to meet a Catalan winemaker - no prior wine knowledge needed.
Choose The Cava Insider if…
…you want to discover Cava in a new, engaging way - through play, curiosity and discovery rather than a classic winery visit. Five interactive levels turn the day into a light adventure: a scenic ride through Penedès, a historic Modernist garden, a vineyard walk, a 15th-century estate and chapel, and an exclusive tasting 12 metres underground with live disgorging and three elegant sparkling wines. At each level you earn small achievements, and by the end you become a true Cava Insider. It is the right pick for curious travellers, couples, friends and families who want a friendly, relaxed experience - no wine knowledge needed.
Choose the Land Rover Vineyard Experience if…
…you want an authentic, social and personal winery experience that feels like visiting friends rather than a commercial tour. This is one of the most loved and long-running wine experiences in Penedès - conducted personally by Alexandra together with the winery owner, combining sparkling wine culture, vineyard landscapes and a relaxed Land Rover adventure through the countryside. The day is cultural and fun, with direct contact with the people behind the winery, beautiful scenery and a warm atmosphere that is impossible to replicate on a standard tour. It is the right pick for couples, friends and families who want a real local connection, for guests who value personality over polish, and for anyone looking for a vineyard tour near Barcelona that feels human, memorable and genuinely social.
Choose the Custom Wine Day from Barcelona if…
…none of the fixed formats quite fit, or you want to explore beyond Penedès into Priorat, Montsant, Alella or Empordà. The custom format is built from scratch around your group: choose the region, the style of wineries (organic, biodynamic, natural, classic), the length of the day, and any extras such as olive oil tastings, hilltop villages or a coastal stop. It's the right pick for returning visitors who've already done a Cava day, for wine-industry guests with specific requests, for larger family groups with mixed interests, and for anyone who'd rather start the conversation with a blank page.
Choose the Wine Tasting Course if…
…you want to learn how to taste wine like a professional in an authentic setting. This 2-hour beginner course takes place among vats, barrels and cement eggs in a working Penedès winery, led by a Catalan enologist and real wine producer. It is the right pick if you are new to wine, want to understand your senses better, or prefer a shorter, focused experience that combines learning with real winery atmosphere. Transportation from Barcelona is available on request for €150 per car, round-trip (ida y vuelta included).
Still not sure?
That's the most common message I get, and it's completely fine. Send me a short note with your dates, group size and what you broadly hope to get out of the day - relaxation, learning, photography, a special anniversary - and I'll suggest the format that fits best, with two or three concrete itinerary options to choose from.
