Christina is not your tour leader, she is your friend who lives Barcelona and is eager to show you around the region she loves. Working with her on our itinerary, a combination of Wine tasting and Montserrat, resulted can a wonderful day long tour with engaging and intelligent conversation about Spain, Wine, History and Culture. We wish she lived in the next city we visit, we will certainly seek her out on our next visit this region. Choose any of her tours, you can’t go wrong.

I've never seen so many bottles of wine! The cave and tour was fun and informative. There was an elevator and train which made it easy for me. After touring the caves Cristina took us to the chocolate factory/shop. Amazing chocolate and samples. We stopped at a butcher shop for cheese and ham, and everyone in the small town was warm and friendly. Amazing tour with an amazing guide and driver. Thanks so much Cristina and Peter!

WE loved Cristina and Peter. They were so interesting and informative. They took the time to find us a lovely local restaurant, which we requested, that we never would have found on our own.We had a wonderful time. We plan to tour with them again next year.

Your Barcelona tour itinerary

You will be picked up in the morning by the driver and me in a in a luxurious comfortable Mercedes van for a great Sparkling wine / cava tour. The trip from Barcelona to the Cava Country will take an hour. We will start visiting one of the world's most famous Cava cellars in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia. The interesting guided tour will let you discover the cava production process, stroll through its centennial cellars and savor a cava tasting in a gorgeus setting. You will also get to know about the elaboration of a delicious chocolate produced by a family of artisans active since 1840. We will then head to a lovely restaurant to enjoy lunch with local products (including a rich list of cavas and wines from the area). After that we will drive back to Barcelona where you will be dropped off at your convenience. During our trip we will enjoy the views of Montserrat, a multi-peaked mountain shaped by the wind and the rain looking like a saw, that inspired Gaudi to create la Sagrada Familia.
