1. Recaredo
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 182 reviews
We’re a family of winegrowers specialized in Millésime Brut Nature Sparkling Wines (zero dosage). We’re committed to capturing our Mediterranean landscapes in a bottle. That’s what drives us to cultivate only our own vineyards planted with indigenous varieties. We practise dry farming and apply the principles of biodynamic agriculture –a step beyond organic. Like sentinels waiting patiently in silence, Recaredo’s bottles remain in the darkness of our cellars for at least 30 months until they achieve a truly unique character. In the case of Recaredo’s most exclusive family wine cellars, some of our Sparkling Wines are aged for nearly 20 years, preserving a wealth of elegant and complex nuances. ROBERT PARKER- THE WINE ADVOCATE: “I’m not sure if there is any other sparkling wine producer in the world who works with such strict standards (...) There is a sense of energy and harmony in their wines that is impressive; they are all highly recommended.”

We chose the private visit and our amazing guide was Lluba. We are fairly experienced wine lovers who have done wine tours worldwide. Having said that the private tour is an amazing experience for people new to the cava experience, or biodynamic farming, as well as experienced oenophiles. Lluba was both a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide and her tour was excellent. We elected to have the tour in English. We were able to sample several reserve cavas, and the 2008 reserve was disgorged for us by one of the current owner / vintners, Josep Mata. We were also able to sample both still wines and reserve cavas with dried sausage and breads. Very enjoyable and enlightening experience overall. Pricey for a cava tasting but well worth it.

There is so much to see in Barcelona - This shared, it is well worth taking an afternoon and getting out of the city for a wine and cava tasting with tapas at Pere Ventura! We met with Beth - the winemaker, and Rosa - for the Cava tasting and tour. An unbelievable afternoon touring the vineyards and the cellars! - a 45-minute drive outside of the city.

We had a really nice visit and took the tour in Spanish as I’m practicing it. So, if you know a little about champagne and cava but your Spanish skills isn't that good, then I would strongly recommend taking the tour in Spanish as Guifré spoke clearly and slowly so that it was possible to understand everything. The tour itself was really nice and in gave a very good contrast to the big productions, here you really got a feeling of how much effort there is put into the production of cava and a lot of specific info regarding this very production it was a very thorough and personal experience. After the tour we were introduced to all the cava on the cart and went through them one by one, every one of them with a distinct tastes and purposes which went well in combination with the tapas plate that was served along with the glasses of cava. It was all in all a magnificent experience and I couldn't help myself to buy some of the different bottles. I will definitely come back to visit Sola Raventos once again for a second experience. Keep up the good work Guifré and Pere.

5. Freixenet

In 1861 Francesc Sala Ferres founded Casa Sala, the first wine-exporting company in Sant Sadurni d’Anoia. His son, Joan Sala Tubella, carried the business forward and after the wedding of Joan’s daughter Dolors Sala Vive to Pere Ferrer Bosch, the company entered the cava business. Pere Ferrer Bosch came from the family that owned La Freixeneda, a family estate in existence since the 13th Century and located in the Alt Penedes region. The business grew and the first labels for Freixenet Casa Sala cava appeared. From the beginning it was decided to concentrate exclusively on the production of cava, a natural sparkling wine, following the method used in the Champagne region (France) since the XVIIIth century. They built their cellars in the town of Sant Sadurni d’Anoia in Catalonia, Spain. The town is located in the heart of the Penedes, a region famous since Roman times for the quality of the wine produced there. In the 1920s and 1930s the company gained recognition thanks to the drive of its founders and the guaranteed quality of its products. It was at this time that the company started to export its products and it opened its first United States office in New Jersey in 1935. Unfortunately, the development of the company was held back first by the Spanish Civil War and then by the Second World War. Nevertheless, in 1941 the company launched what would in time become one of its star products—Freixenet Carta Nevada cava. In 1974 its leading export brand, Freixenet Cordon Negro cava, was launched, present in more than 140 countries. By the beginning of the 1970s Freixenet was well established in the Spanish market as a strong brand with a clear vocation to expand on the international stage. The constant efforts made by the company since then have led to continuous expansion in world markets and made the Freixenet Group in the mid 80’s the world leader in sparkling wines produced by the traditional method. At this time, the company decides to build cellars abroad, such is the case of Gloria Ferrer in California, Wingara in Australia and many more, and also in Spain, in other wine areas of great reputation such as Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Priorat, Montsant, ... Nowadays Freixenet Group keeps being a 100% family-owned company with 18 cellars in 7 countries in 3 continents.

The trip to Freixenet was amazing and really special! Our guide Montse Miro was amazing, she personifies amazing hospitality. She gave us a great tour of the cellars and then ensure we had an informative Cava tasing. She even provided us with a few extra Cava samples so that I could purchase some for myself. I would definitely come back again, not just for the winery but to meet Montse, thank you for making my birthday special.
6. Caves Anna d’ Codorniu

Reviewed By maiczm - Houston, United States
Cavas Codorniu cellars at Sant Sadurní d'Anoia are very extensive and we appreciated the electric train transport to be able to see everything instead of walking. Display area of old tools and how they were used was very interesting including the marine generator that provided electricity to the town long time ago. Beautiful designed old brick buildings and stained glass windows. Another electric transport was used to go thought the endless maze of underground tunnels where cava bottles are kept. It is incredible that up in the surface is all covered with gardens and you will never image what is underneath. Cava tasting room was underground. We enjoyed the tour very much, even my husband did! Be sure to make reservations online. They do have a nice shop to buy all their products. After our visit we had a tasty lunch at Mirador des Caves restaurant. Up on hill with great views of the valley and vineyards. This day in May 2019 was sunny and clear and were lucky to see Montserrat. We decided not to drive back to Barcelona and stay at Hotel Mastinell, 20 minutes away in Villafranca de Penedés. Next day we had reservations to visit close by Bodega Torres.

To visit Gramona is to travel back over 150 years and five generations of winemaking tradition. This tradition, combined with hard work and perseverance, has made Gramona one of the most respected cavas in the world.

Wanting to know more about biodiversity wine growing methods from a certified leader in the Penedes region, this tour went far beyond our expectations. We were driven to the vineyards and walked through the impressive new underground facilities. Our guide was so knowledgeable about each step of their process and we met several professionals along the way, proud of their contribution to Gramona's success. The most delicious lunch with their fantastic wines was served in a lovely dining room with views of the surrounding hills. If you don't want to rent a car or hire a private driver, it's 45 minutes from Barcelona on the R4 train and a 10-minute walk to the winery for a most enjoyable experience.
