The Codorníu family is one of the oldest winemaking families in Spain dating back to the 1500's. The first Cava wine was made in 1872. Tragically, 14 years later the Phylloxera plague infested the vineyards.
The family fought back trying the most innovative viticulture techniques of the time, and survived the dilemma. By the end of the 19th century, Codorníu was producing over 100,000 bottles of cava per annum. In 1976, the cellars were declared a Monument of National Historical Artistic Merit by King Juan Carlos I of Spain.
The ambience of the place paired with superb Cava wines, make a visit to Codorníu's cellars unforgettable. After your tasting, you will drive back to Barcelona.
