A beautiful experience, the cellar is wonderful, especially architecturally, and the ride inside with the little train is that something extra that is not found in the usual visits. I would recommend it to anyone who is in the area, together with a visit to the town of Villafranca which has a beautiful center.

It was a phenomenal deal for what you got. We saw the entire winery, we sampled two cavas, and the price of a bottle of wine at the shop to take home for a souvenir was also very reasonable. My one warning: if you're a tourist, it's really expensive to uber/taxi back and forth from here... like nearly $100USD each way because the taxis don't go out that way normally, which is double the cost of travel within the city by taxi. Learn public transportation. It was incredibly useful, and we made it a mission to learn public transit the second we got home from our $200USD taxis... shockingly horrid.
