CAVA FOR CHRISTMAS TRIP

 

Hola a todos!

Yes, I know – it does seem a bit previous to be talking about Christmas! My apologies!

However, it’s the early worm that catches the Cava, as the saying goes!

I’m delighted to be able to tell you that I have been able to arrange another visit to Bodegas Dominio de la Vega, near Requena, inland from Valencia for a very entertaining, informative and visitor-friendly tour and Cava Tasting, with a view to our purchasing all the Cava we’ll need for the Christmas Celebrations, and indeed on-wards.

It’s an excellent opportunity to taste before you buy, and to buy at the best possible prices, direct from source, where, of course, the Cavas have all been kept in perfect conditions – unlike in some of the shops!

We’ll be tasting three top Cavas, including the one pictured which, for two vintages, was voted the best Cava in Spain! Plus we’ll taste their very good still red wine made from the indigenous variety, Bobal!

Also included is a three-course lunch in a nearby restaurant, with wine, of course!

Places are limited, so please reserve yours early (well, very early, considering it’s July!), if you are able to join us!

The date of this trip is Wednesday 18th November – and the price, including all the above, as well as a Prize Raffle and an optional Prize Quiz with questions on the day’s events is 45€!
