Discover what it's like to experience a winery tour and wine tasting at Codorníu in Penedès Spain - the iconic producer and birthplace of Spanish Cava - the famous Spanish sparkling wine.
Not only do you get to taste some amazing Cavas in the fabulous tasting room, you get to explore the underground cellars, not just on foot, but by train, explore the stunning gardens and the fascinating museum, in what was once the grape pressing room.
The Codorníu winery is also an architectural masterpiece, designed by the modernist architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch, and a masterpiece in modernist art. It was declared a National Artistic Historical Monument in 1976. ‪@winekellertravel‬
Codorníu is the story of 18 generations of a family of vine growers and it reflects the history, tradition, passion and expertise of a family company with more than 450 years of history. The family lived here from 1551 and were responsible for producing sparkling wine and the birth of Cava here in 1872.
Codorníu is located in the 'Cava capital', Sant Sadurni d'Anoia, just 45 minutes outside of Barcelona in Spain's Catalonia region. Two producers dominate the Cava market - Codorníu and Freixenet - both based in San Sadurní d’Anoia and producing some 200 million bottles of Cava between them each year!
