Cellers Carol Vallès: wine tasting accompanied by the best dog ever

I bet that if you are a young wine lover you have been to at least one wine tasting. Or maybe even to a wine pairing. Whatsoever have you attended and whoever was your guide, I bet you have never had such a cool guide as they have at Cellers Carol Vallès: a dog. A german shepherd to be precise.

He’s big and fluffy and faithful and smart and has nice eyes. With a little bit of wine, one starts to think he’s the only male a girl needs in her life (that’s why you better leave your boyfriends at home while at Cellers Carol because they might get really jealous – you just want to pet the dog forever).

Let’s get back to wine though since this is a blog for wine lovers, not dog lovers. 🐶😂

To experience the real charm of winemaking and love for wine you definitely need to go to a small cellar. It’s not only about the passion they tell you everything with, but it’s also a matter of price: many small wineries offer a great variety of wine experiences at a very fair cost, as well as a lot of excellent price-friendly products. 💸

As well as the last winery we visited, Marquès Rigol, Cellers Carol is quite young and only makes cava. In fact, they started producing this bubbly many years ago but the commercialisation didn’t start until 1996. Cellers Carol makes around 38.000 bottles a year and their best cavas, such as Guillem Carol or Millenium, are produced only when the harvest has been excellent. It’s a completely ecological winery.

If what I said until now hasn’t convinced you so far, here you have my 4 reasons to chose Cellers Carol Vallès:

GREAT variety of wine experiences

Brunch amidst vineyards (17 €), making your own cava (25 €), blind cava tasting (25 €) biking along vineyards, cheese-cava pairing, jamón-cava pairing are just some of the suggestions.
