Escumostra brings three days of unmissable events to the heart of the Penedès, with sparkling wine taking centre stage. Held every October in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, the festival is a chance to taste DO sparkling wines and discover the local food scene in a lively, welcoming atmosphere. An invitation to wander among the vineyards, explore different approaches to sparkling wine, discover its many nuances and meet the people who make it all possible.
This is good to know
Escumostra is the new name for Cavatast, which celebrates its 30th edition this year. The new name reflects how the event has evolved, embracing a wider variety of sparkling wines and giving food an even greater role in the experience.
This year, 54 wineries are taking part, more than twice as many as last year, alongside a range of food stands. Let yourself be tempted by the culinary offerings: food and wine pairing is another way to explore.
Escumostra in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia is one of the few festivals where you can discover wines from small, family-run wineries that are rarely found outside the Alt Penedès. Some producers even save their finest bottles to open especially for the occasion.
Discover how sparkling wines are made in wineries that, in many cases, have centuries of history behind them.
