Cava Sabrage Class

Huzzah! No more opening bottles of Cava with a cautious twist of your fingers… make like an 18th century Napoleonic cavalryman and get the party started in style by scything off the top of the bottle with abona fidesabre!

信不信由你,当你把瓶盖with the upwards swipe of a blade, the motion, along with the pressure of the effervescent Cava (think Champagne, but maderight here in Catalonia),创建一个美丽清洁的削减所以that you can pour out the bubbly safely and drink the bottle’s contents.

During this fun and original activity, your sommelier-host will explain the romantic history of Cava sabrage and then show you how to do it safely using a curved machete. The venue is a rather hip, authentic wine bodega in the Sants district of Barcelona, and they’ve handily stuck up a target range so you can compete with your mates at trying to hit the bullseye with the sliced off bottle top.

After a welcome glass of Cava and thorough demonstration, with safety tips, every guest gets their own bottle of Cava to sabre, and what isn’t spilled in the process is drunk afterwards, paired with some delicious local nibbles (cheeses, charcuterie etc).

At the end of the class, you even receive a Certificate of completion and your corked bottleneck as a keyring.
