Highlights
  • Finca Ca n’Estella - 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’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.

Fantastic Wine and Cava day! - Javi was our guide on this fabulous day. We were celebrating a birthday and it was the unforgettable day we wished for. The first winery (fin ca n’Estella) was such a special experience. The Cavas and Chardonnay were incredible and the hospitality (and amazing lunch) made it unlike anything we’ve done before. They even arranged a birthday cake and candles! From the moment he picked us up in Barcelona to the minute we returned home, Javi made this OUR day and we cannot thank him enough. We would highly recommend Javi and Castle Experience. It was easy to book, they communicated well via email and even called the morning of the tour to confirm arrival and details. The day went perfectly. 🙏🏻👏🏻🥰

Exceeded expectations, not rushed or impersonal, truly a wine tasting experience from start to finish. - Today, our wine tasting tour guide wa s Javi Rodriguez. Javi was simply amazing! His knowledge of the art/science of wine making and wine making history of Finca Ca N'Estella and Oller del Mas was matched only by his passion for the wine sampled. What a way to cap off our visit to Barcelona, Spain. Thank you Javi!

A Perfect Blend of Culture, Cuisine, and Comedy - Unforgettable Spanish Winery Tour! - Embarking on the cultural rich tour of Spanish wineries was an absolute delight from start to finish. This unforgettable journey offered an exquisite blend of Spanish traditions, delectable tapas, and fine wines that left me in awe. The tour's first highlight was undoubtedly the tantalizing taste of tapas and wine. Each stop at the wineries was a treat for the senses. The rich and diverse flavors of the tapas, paired perfectly with the finest wines, created a culinary experience that was beyond compare. From traditional classics to innovative creations, the dishes presented a true taste of Spain's gastronomic heritage. It was a pleasure to savor the local produce and witness the passion that went into crafting these culinary delights. Beyond the exquisite gastronomy, what set this tour apart was the opportunity to explore the robust countryside and visit non-touristic places. Stepping away from the usual tourist hotspots allowed us to immerse ourselves in the authentic charm of Spain. The serene beauty of the countryside and the encounters with locals truly enriched our understanding of the region's culture and history. Toni, our guide for the tour, was a true gem. His vast knowledge of the winemaking process, the region's history, and Spanish culture made each stop even more engaging. But what truly made Toni stand out was his infectious sense of humor and charming personality. He effortlessly weaved entertaining anecdotes and witty remarks into his narratives, ensuring that every moment was not only informative but also filled with laughter. The tour was thoughtfully curated to provide a perfect balance of entertainment and education. It felt like we were traveling with a close friend who wanted us to experience the best of Spain, avoiding the crowded and commercialized spots. I cannot recommend this tour enough. Whether you are a wine connoisseur, a food enthusiast, a history buff, or simply someone looking for an authentic and immersive cultural experience, this tour caters to everyone's interests. It leaves you with lasting memories and a newfound appreciation for Spanish traditions. In conclusion, the cultural rich tour of Spanish wineries was an impressive and unforgettable journey. The delectable taste of tapas and wine, the exploration of non-touristic places, and the delightful company of our guide, Toni, made this experience truly exceptional. If you're planning a trip to Spain, do yourself a favor and make sure to include this tour in your itinerary. You won't regret it!
