Exclusive Champagne & Chocolate Experience
Spend a relaxed day with us away from the bustling city and discover Cava & Chocolate - a local tradition. We will visit picturesque Sant Sadurni just 45 minutes outside of Barcelona in the famous Penedès wine region. This quiet market town is not only home of the best Catalan chocolate maker but also the center of Cava production - the local sparkling wine made according to the same method and quality as French Champagne.

Train Station Plaça Catalunya
We will take the train to Sant Sadurni, the most sustainable means of transportation. Trains in Catalunya are frequent, clean and safe.
Welcome drink at the world's most famous cava maker
When arriving at the train station we are greeted by the smell of freshly roasted cocoa beans. You will immediately spot the beautiful headquarter of one of the world's most famous cava makers. Let's have a welcoming drink on their patio!
Visit of the local chocolate factory
A short walk will lead us to the chocolate factory with a tradition of 175 years. Here we will enjoy a unique experience for all five senses. Not only will we learn about cocoa, chocolate’s history and culture but also taste their different specialties.
Lunch at a wonderful local restaurant in the village
The restaurant serves a high quality 3-course menu with Catalan dishes. Half a bottle of wine/cava per person is included as well as water. We will walk you through the menu and explain all the delights!
Cava Experience at a small scale, family run winery
After a stroll through the village's narrow streets we arrive to an artisan Cava maker. With a history spanning more than 150 years this small scale, family run winery focuses on crafting premium quality, organic Cava. Descending into the cellars where the bottles are resting we will explain the history and methods used to create high quality sparkling wine. Upstairs we will have the chance to observe the disgorging and labelling process. We finish this experience in the leafy courtyard where we will take our time to enjoy various vintages while learning more about the different types of Cava.
We will take the train back to Barcelona.
