Cavatast: Trip Planning Guide
Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Spain
Going to Cavatast?
The capital of Cava country celebrates its sparkling wine heritage with a weekend of tastings, vineyard tours, food pairings, and live music. Over 30 Cava houses open their doors, and the town's main square becomes an open-air tasting room. The best place to discover artisan Cava from small producers.
Your trip blueprint
Hunt for single-vineyard Cava from Gramona, Recaredo, or Llopart rather than the mega-houses—these artisanal producers showcase complexity rivaling Champagne but at fraction of the price. Arrive Saturday morning before Sunday crowds; the real gems are tasted between 10-12am before the afternoon food-and-music circus begins.
About Priorat
Priorat is one of only two Spanish regions with DOCa (Denominación de Origen Calificada) status alongside Rioja, producing some of Spain's most powerful, complex, and age-worthy red wines from ancient Garnacha and Cariñena vines rooted in the region's signature llicorella — black slate and mica soils. The dramatic mountainous landscape 90 minutes southwest of Barcelona draws wine lovers seeking extreme terroir, boutique producers, and an authentically remote Spanish experience far removed from tourist circuits..
