Aging cavas
No wait time, we were immediately welcomed upon our arrival
This is a small family run operation, so we were hosted by the winemakers daughter who had a fantastic knowledge of the wine, the family history and the marketing of the wines. She also brought her father in and translated our questions for him, so we were able to get a real appreciation for their philosophies and approach to winemaking
Really friendly family, made us feel very welcome. English, French, Catalan and Spanish tours are offered

Yes outside only, but there are chickens on the property so need to be kept under control

They have an amazing innovation with their labels containing braille information for the visually impaired. From June - August they have chill out afternoons on Saturdays and they have a plot of 2 vines of each varietal near the house so you can taste the different grapes during harvest time which is always a fantastic and educational experience |
