Celler Adernats is located in the heart of Tarragona region. It is a wine cellar that currently forms the path of Official Catalan cava producers. Cellar starts its activity in 1917, with the purpose of making quality cavas counting with the help of winemaker Enric Vives, and now managing over 400 hectares of vineyards and producing over 90 barrels annually.

Walk around the vineyard to learn the process of making wine and will taste 3 local wines and 1 Cava with some snacks.

Wine Cathedral of Nulles

Do not miss the opportunity to admire The Cathedral, a stunning modernist building surrounded by the old vineyards. The Nulles' wine cellar, with the Wine Cathedral recognised as emblematic, represents the effort of a united people to move on with a dream. A yearning of hope that appears to be impossible after the great desolation caused by the phylloxera plague.

It is the begginning of 1900, and after hundreds of years of family wine elaboration and plantations, the inhabitants of Nulles decide to unify their resources and knowledge to create Sant Isidre's trade union and to build the cellar of the village, Nulles's Wine Cathedral . This union is materialized in 1917, being the harvesting in 1920 the first one to fill the modernist cellar's new tanks.

Take the chance to climb the stairs to the upper part, closer to the dome in order to appreciate the modernist design of the vaults and the arches that make of the cathedral, a unique modernist jewel.

At the end of this experience, reboard your coach for the 45-minute drive to the the ship.
