🎥 Codorníu — the heart of Catalan Cava 🍾
Codorníu is not just a winery. It is one of the oldest winemaking dynasties in Spain, with a history that goes back to 1551. Here, in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, the tradition of producing Spanish Cava — sparkling wine known all over the world — was born.
🍇 Fun fact: in 1872, Codorníu produced the very first Cava using the traditional Champagne method (second fermentation inside the bottle). From that moment, Catalonia became the “capital of Cava.”
🏛️ The Codorníu wine cellars are not only about wine — they are also a masterpiece of Catalan Modernism. They were designed by the famous architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch, a disciple of Gaudí. In 1976, the building was declared a National Monument of Spain.
✨ Today, visitors from all over the world come here to taste Cava in the historic cellars and experience more than 500 years of history.
