Cava Tasting from Barcelona: At a Cellar or on a Guided Day
Cava tasting from Barcelona: four cellar tastings you reach on your own, from one hour and three cavas to a cheese pairing, and the guided day that pours four cavas and three wines.
The cava tastings sold from Barcelona happen at the cellars, outside the city, and they come in two sizes. A single cellar’s tasting lasts one to two hours and pours two or three cavas, or cava with cheese; you get there yourself. A guided day takes care of the journey and pours more: World Experience’s wine and cava day tastes 4 cavas and 3 wines at two family wineries, with cheese and charcuterie, from US$144 an adult (checked November 2026).
The calendar above is the guided day. It leaves Carrer de Martí i Franquès 21, in Les Corts, at 9:00 AM; the two wineries are Pere Ventura Cava and Can Bas, and between them comes a 4x4 ride through the vineyards with a viticulturist. The minimum age is 16, and hotel pickup is not included.

Bodega Jaume Serra's tasting is the shortest: an hour on a walled estate, how cava is made and three cavas. It is not suitable for people with mobility impairments, wheelchair users or people with vertigo. Cavas Hill's tour is the one built around food: a walk in the vineyards, cellars built in the early 20th century, a Modernist main house, and cava paired with three cheeses from a small Catalan cheese farm. It is for adults only, and it is not suitable for wheelchair users.
The two Sant Sadurní d’Anoia houses are the easiest to reach by train, and Codorníu or Freixenet compares them in detail.
When the guided day is the better tasting
If the point is to taste a range rather than one house’s cava, the guided day pours more and adds wine: three wines and four cavas, paired with cheese and charcuterie, at two family wineries, with the minibus from Barcelona included. One recent five-star review mentions learning about cava and the history of each vineyard; another, the jeep ride through the vines. It costs more than a single tasting, and it is a six-hour day, not an hour.
