A wine pairing between flowers

Pairing with Mediterranean wild flowers and wines. A singular and original look that combines the palate, the vegetal landscape and history through wine. The botanist of El Celler de Can Roca and a sommelier will transport us to the terroir through the aromas and sensations in the mouth. The activity is presented in two distinct parts that can be done together or independently: a walk through the natural environment of some of the most emblematic landscapes of Catalonia to discover the aromatic herbs and flowers of the territory, and a tasting of four wines paired with flowers characteristic of each place.

Marine tapas in kayak

Accompanied by a specialized kayak guide and a nature guide, we will discover the most inhospitable Costa Brava and its unknown corners: small coves, cliffs and caves surrounded by the tranquility of the Mediterranean Sea. We will stop at some beaches to walk and get to know the most delicious and surprising edible plants that live on the Costa Brava, which tell us amazing stories about their ancestral and also current uses. We will end up enjoying a swim in the crystal clear waters in some of the coves and the intrepid can dive in to discover the algae that inhabit their bottoms and their uses in the healthiest and most natural cuisine.

Walking through the clouds

Accompanied by an expert guide in landscape and local plants, we will fly over the peaks of the region of volcanoes. At the foot of the Pyrenees, surrounding medieval towns and hidden beneath lush green, we find the Garrotxa volcanoes. Where lovers of nature and new sensations will enjoy the silent landscape of a bird’s eye view. A look that reaches from the snowy peaks to the beaches of the Mediterranean. During the flight, we will be able to enjoy the magnificent landscapes and interpret where the best-known aromatic herbs and mushrooms of the area’s cuisine are hidden. Once on land, we will harvest the herbs – and mushrooms depending on the season – to finish cooking and tasting them if you feel like it.

Along the way we will stop to taste first hand the most delicious hidden wild ingredients of our coast. Spicy flowers, salty leaves, crunchy stems or curious algae. A walk on our bluest coast to awaken the senses and the flavors on our palate! A tour for lovers of the sea and cuisine, also for the youngest.
