Escumostra (formerly Cavatast) — a 3-day weekend in Penedès

October. Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Spain. 40 min from the airport.

The weekend, day by day

  1. Day 1

    Arrive in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia

    Land at Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN), settle in and walk the old town in the afternoon. Light dinner near your accommodation — save your appetite for the festival day.

  2. Day 2

    Escumostra (formerly Cavatast)

    Festival day — arrive early to avoid the lunchtime crowd. Pace yourself across the tastings and break for a long lunch mid-afternoon.

  3. Day 3

    Wine country day in Penedès

    Use the third day for a single winery visit (booked ahead) and a long lunch before heading home.

Insider tip

Hunt for single-vineyard Cava from Gramona, Recaredo, or Llopart rather than the mega-houses—these artisanal producers showcase complexity rivaling Champagne but at fraction of the price. Arrive Saturday morning before Sunday crowds; the real gems are tasted between 10-12am before the afternoon food-and-music circus begins.
