The tour at Codorniu is a great chance to see exactly how the famous sparkling wine is produced, from the first pressing of the grapes to the second fermentation in the vast expanse of cellars. Naturally, no winery visit would be complete without sampling the goods. At the conclusion of your tour, you'll taste some of the finest Cava the region has to offer.
