  One Friday evening we took a train from Barcelona to ArtCava. We had a booking. We had considered taking a tour in one of the bigger cava wineries of the... read more region, but were extremely happy that we chose this one, instead of them. I could not recommend more warmly!

  We visited Artcava as part of another tour and were so happy! Our guide was hilarious and knowledgable. He made the tour. The grounds are deceptive but... read more once inside the facility you realize how cool this experience is. The Cava was amazing to try and the pours were generous. I was so happy to buy a t-shirt and bottles of Cava to enjoy for the rest of my time in Barcelona. Without a doubt, this hidden gem is worth your time and effort to get here. I CANNOT WAIT to return! BTW, kids were welcome and were provided juice and snacks. I would not take young kids because there is some historical dialogue and listening to history but my young teens (13 and 11) loved the experience because the guide interacted with them the entire time.

  My husband and I did the tour and lunch in November and it was the best day of our vacation. Ramon is a great tour guide and has an... read more energy that gets you excited as soon as he meets you at the train station. We generally don't do tours on holiday, but this looked too good to pass up. We were right. Ramon took us on a tour around the grounds, as well as showing us the entire Penedes region from a hillside.

There were five total on our tour and we tasted a total of 5 Cavas. We had all but one before lunch. If you can, be sure to book the optional lunch as well. The simple meal was perfect and the meats paired well with the cava. I am gluten free, and the winery had some bread just for me 🙂 After lunch we completed the tour, disgorged, corked, and labeled our cava. We took our bottles to Valencia and enjoyed them a few days later from our balcony overlooking the Sea.

We felt right at home at ArtCava and would have happily stayed a few more days to enjoy more great wine, food, and company!

Take the Placa Catalunya train R4 to Lavern Subirates. About 50 minutes train time. Plan ahead as we went on a Saturday and the trains were running about 10 minutes late.

Don't miss this unique day trip.
