Description

Context Bodega Cava Guilera, established in 1927 in Subirats, lies in the heart of the Penedès region, renowned for its exceptional cava production. The estate’s eco-sustainable vineyards stretch across a quiet rural landscape where the breeze carries the fresh scent of earth and traditional grape varieties like xarel·lo and macabeo. This area, approximately 50 km from Barcelona, blends deep winemaking heritage with a strong commitment to environmental stewardship.

The Experience The visit begins with a warm welcome from the owners, Pere and Marta Guilera, who share their family’s story. Guests then stroll through the vineyards and the rustic garden, feeling the breeze rustle the leaves. The private tasting features three cavas: traditional, single-varietal xarel·lo, and rosé—each aged for a long period—paired with a curated selection of delicatessen cheese or vegetarian pâté. The session is paced to your rhythm, allowing full appreciation of each aroma and flavor profile.

For Whom This experience is ideal for those who value extended aging and traditional cava varietals, as well as couples or small groups seeking an intimate, personalized outing in a peaceful rural setting. Not recommended for guests with limited mobility or children.

Local Context The bodega preserves a century-old family tradition in viticulture, integrating eco-sustainable practices that honor both the landscape and local community. Pere and Marta Guilera embody a direct connection to Penedès culture, their dedication to quality, and deep respect for nature.
