Description
Visit Codorniu: A fascinating journey to the origins of cava.
Codorníu is synonymous with the history of a family of wine growers that dates back to the 16th century. It is the oldest family business in Spain and one of the oldest in the world. It currently has more than 450 years of history. Manuel Raventós, the great promoter of Codorníu, contracted in 1895 the modernist architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch (contemporary of Gaudí) to expand the winery. The building he built symbolizes the fruitful alliance between nature and human labor and is a tribute of stone to the silence of the cava. Since 1976 they are an Archaeological Historic Monument and one of the most impressive examples of architecture dedicated to the production and aging of cavas.
