Under the cava country

September 28, 2017

The Catalonian version of "swords into plowshares" is: bomb shelters into wine caves!

Our Barcelona Experience (September 12 - 17) took us to Ignasi Seguí's biodynamic Vinyas Singulars vineyard, where he uses a Spanish Civil War bomb shelter to develop cava. He gave us an exclusive look inside the bunker — we're sworn to secrecy and can't tell you where it is! 

We emerged from the shelter to toast life with our friend Florian Porsche (co-owner of VisitPenedes). And it was the bomb!
