Visit to the winery Joan Sardà

In two recent posts and I came to explain my escape by the Anoia and the Penedes , first spent a night at Hostal Can Carol in Capellades, then another night at the hotel where we enjoyed Barceló Montserrat spa circuit and the next day we went to visit the cellar Joan Sardà at Castellvi de la Marca (Penedes). We enjoyed this visit to a winery with a bonus Smartbox “Wineries Character” I gave my boyfriend for his birthday.

The truth is that he had no opportunity to to visit a winery above, although I am fond of World wine , ever have to be the first … And I found a very interesting and enriching experience.

Location Bodega Joan Sardà

As said earlier, Joan Sardà winery is located in the municipality of Castellvi of the mark (Alt Penedès) . The truth is that, being a warehouse and placed in the field that is not easy to find using GPS, for example, but in his web show in detail how to get and really do not cost us too come. That yes, there are not many road signs, only when you have to leave the road and enter the path to the winery’s estate Joan Sardà.

The place is great, land of vineyards, in the midst of nature, everything quiet.

Shortly after arriving we started our visit, first the gardens , with an area of 30,000 m2, that despite the time he did that weekend (with widespread rain and snowfall in the area) were beautiful, imagine spring … Then we saw the vineyards , although by far due to bad weather and soil conditions, it is usually taught in the views, is on foot of land, a shame … Then we went to the farmhouse, the home , whose ground floor has been preserved as it was originally and upstairs, which is now a large room for functions and events but it has retained the original detail as possible. Then we saw the old plants and traditional for the preparation of wine and cava, below ground, with traditional “ cups ” where fermented wine, wineries, etc.. We could also see the old barrels, obsolete machines that once were used for the production of wine or champagne, etc.. And finally, we could see the plant current, but as a decorative preserved traditional elements, is highly mechanized and modernized.

Services Warehouse Joan Sardà

The truth is that in terms of

care received And the course of the visit to the winery Joan Sardà we can not complain, on the contrary, we love it. Largely because of the care provided by Montse as the “masover” (the man who lives on the farm, the farmhouse, to be taken care of it), very friendly and open to answer any questions.

As I progressed, the property is located amid vineyards and beautiful and extensive gardens, which together with the farmhouse, you can
