Codorníu Winery: Guided Tour + Cava & Appetizers Tasting

About this experience

The Codorníu Winery Guided Tour is a 90-minute tour of one of Spain's oldest wine estates, operating since 1551 and located outside Barcelona. The visit centres on the Modernist complex designed by architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch, declared a Historical-Artistic Monument in 1976, and opens in the Sala Puig, a grand reception hall known informally as the Cathedral of Cava. The estate's history spans nearly five centuries, and the tour traces the Codorníu family lineage through to Anna de Codorníu, in whose honour a Chardonnay-based cava was created in 1983. Guests move through the winery gardens before descending into the subterranean caves, which date to the 19th century and are explored by a guided train ride through the vast underground network. The programme covers the full cava production process, from viticulture to the traditional method of secondary fermentation. The tour concludes with a seated tasting of three premium cavas from the Anna de Codorníu range, paired with appetizers. Tickets include the guided tour, train ride, and tasting; transportation to the estate from Barcelona is not included. The experience is wheelchair accessible, and booking is non-refundable.
