Itinerary and highlights

Beautifully crafted sparkling wines and local food await in Ca n’Estella cava winery to captivate your senses while you learn about the region and the fascinating history of the family who runs the cellar. A beautiful 18th century masia (the traditional Catalan country house) presides the estate of this small winery, where they are indeed proud to be small.

The winery is currently managed by Anna Vidal, the 3rd generation in this winemaker family to own the estate. It will be on the gorgeous veranda of her very own family house that you will be served traditional cuisine in the shape of local hot and cold tapas, paired with their top quality cava.

The winery’s Rabetllat i Vidal cavas and Clot dels Oms wines produced at this cellar have been granted more than a hundred awards in very prestigious national and international competitions, including the Best Chardonnay of the World (Chardonnay du Monde) for its 2011 Gran Clot dels Oms Chardonnay.

Family ownership, historical background and an obsession for local identity, territory and values is just what we look for in an authentic wine maker!
