About this experience

Have you always wanted to try the champagne/samurai sword party trick? Learn how to do it, Barcelona-style, with a machete and a bottle of fine cava!

Here's what we'll do:
-A Brief History of Champagne Sabrage (Modern day Cava Sabering!)
-Technique on cava sabering, safety controls etc.
-Live demonstration with a glass or two of cava for each participant
-Each participant is shown what to do and each sabers a bottle of cava
-After-sabering speakeasy where we drink what we didn't spill, with nibbles.
*NOTE: This class is scheduled on alternating days with my other experience; Class in a Glass. It may be possible to schedule in a Sabrage class if the other class is not booked. So please contact me to ask if a different date is possible. Thanks!
