There is no doubt that the Night of San Juan is one of the most magical events of the year. Rituals, spells and celebrations take place throughout Spain on this date, and we’re sure your city or town is no different! It is the perfect excuse to celebrate the beginning of summer in the best way possible. And, of course, no celebration could be complete without a nice glass of cava or wine, but which cavas should you choose?

 

Celebrating with cava in San Juan: the best ritual

As with the new year, the summer solstice marks a turning point where we can leave everything bad behind us and wish for a better future. Pagan beliefs and religions are intermingled on this day that is so important to so many, giving free rein to a host of superstitions. And it is here where cava can form part of your magic ritual. This delicious sparkling wine is synonymous with parties, celebrations and moments full of joy. It’s clear that the festivities of San Juan would not be the same without it.

 

As you open the bottle to taste wine, the characteristic sound of the cork popping when open a bottle of wine will give rise to shouts of excitement and laughter from everyone present. Then the bubbles will begin their iconic dance as they float into the type of glass, creating an atmosphere full of celebration and excitement. This is the moment to raise your glass to the light of the moon and feel how the heat of the fire blends with the freshness of the bubbles on your lips. Don’t forget to make your wish!

 

Celebrating San Juan with cava symbolises the beginning of new experiences, renewal and hope for a prosperous future. Is there anything more magical than that?

Have you tried our rosé cavas? This variety of types of sparkling wines is usually fresh, fruity and very aromatic. It is also versatile and can be adapted to various occasions. It is a great option for an aperitif, as its vivacity and refreshing character stimulate your appetite. If you’re interested in rosé sparkling wine, don’t miss out on our following varieties:

 

Codorníu Ars Collecta Grand Rosé Reserva: a luxury cava from the Codorníu winery that will envelop you with its quality and excellence. A pinot noir from Segrià, a trepat from Conca de Barberà and a xarel·lo from Penedès have been blended to produce this exquisite and aromatic rosé cava with a subtle touch of citrus fruit.

Dinner on the terrace with the family

This is the perfect occasion to strengthen bonds with our loved ones. So why not organise a dinner at home to enjoy pairing with cava? It is the best starting point for all the fun and frivolity that will come afterwards. You could also take advantage of the good weather and venture out onto the terrace for a dinner outdoors. With just a few details you can create the most wonderful atmosphere.

For this special occasion, you need the very best cava, such as our reservas or gran reservas, Brut cava and a Brut Nature. They’re a safe bet! We offer the following options:

 

Codorníu Ars Collecta Blanc de Blancs Reserva: with all the smoothness of a chardonnay and high levels of acidity, this gran reserva cava from Codorníu is perfect to cava pairing with fish and seafood.

The most magical moment is here, where we toast at midnight to a prosperous summer and future in the best of company. Which cava should you choose for this important moment? We would recommend a brut nature.

Any of the cavas that we have shared with you here would be perfect for celebrating this day with your closest friends and family, although you can also take a look at our Qualified Single Vineyard Cavas with their own personality. And as you have seen, celebrating with this delicious drink can also become a ritual that will bring you good luck. So, what are you waiting for? Make sure you have your bottle this San Juan!
