From Saturday 16th to Sunday 24th October, venues across the country will join a UK-wide campaign to champion Cava as a high-quality Spanish sparkling wine that is incredibly versatile when paired with food. Over this time, these restaurant partners will offer a variety of different Cavas for diners to try by-the-glass as well as exciting food pairings suggestions to provide new tasting experiences for wine lovers.

In addition to these special in-house promotions, select establishments will run competitions and giveaways on social media, providing some digital Cava fun for engaged audiences online.

Produced using Spanish grapes in the traditional method, Cava is available in a variety of styles. From Cava de Guarda, which is bursting with freshness, to a range of Cava de Guarda Superior: Reserva with depth and freshness, through to Gran Reserva with great aromatic intensity and Cava de Paraje Calificado, the top-level Cava which is produced from vines in a specially selected place and aged for 36+ months. The world-renowned production style lends itself to an increased complexity and finesse, while the unique and native grape varieties used in Cava, such as Macabeo, Parellada, and Xarel-lo, bring a Mediterranean character and finesse to the wine.
