Experience these remarkable wine-opening techniques in a unique winery.

Have you heard of the art of sabrage? A spectacular and surprising method of opening champagne dating back to Napoleonic times, when victorious soldiers uncorked bottles with their sabres, exclaiming “Champagne! In victory it is deserved, and in defeat, it is needed.”

And what about “feather decanting”? Another astonishing technique originating in Portugal for opening aged wine bottles using a feather.

All of this is offered under the guidance of a professional sommelier, a champion of Extremadura and semifinalist for Best Sommelier of Spain, in the unique setting of a winery located beneath a bullring.

Learn about the sommelier’s role and explore the world of wine, aromas, senses, harmonies, and pairings through a guided tasting of wine and cava.

Additionally, discover the importance of corks in wine through a specialized tasting.

Tour of the Bullring Winery
