Absolutely Brilliant
Such a brilliant experience! Zara was welcoming and kept everyone having fun. Full of information and fun experience for a hen night! 🍾🎉 Thank you for everything Zara!!!
via Viator
Fantastic and unique experience!
We thought that this looked a fun activity in preparation for our Barcelona wedding. We didn't expect to have so much fun with Zara, who gave us the courage to sabre a bottle of cava with one swing for the sword. It is a highly recommended experience and we are looking forward to trying her other experiences the next time we are back in Barcelona.

You'll never need a corkscrew again!
This was an amazing experience from start to ending. Zara makes you feel welcome from the moment you step inside of her lovely atelier. After a brief history of the wonderful art of Sabrage, you can try it yourself and trust me you'll never want to open a bottle the boring "normal" way again!

Fun and original experience
Fun experience with excellent explanation and supervision by Zara! We went with a group of 5 friends and had a blast :-). With the right technique, the sabrage itself is quite simple. And the best part is that you have one bottle of cava to finish per person ;) it brought us in the right mood for a fun party night!

cava sabrage and paella making class EXCELLENT
So much fun! Zara is a great instructor too. I always learn a lot in her classes and enjoy myself. Definitely recommend this class and her other classes.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much Skye! It was a pleasure teaching you all about Spanish gastronomy, and sabrage!

Sabre the Moment: Cava Sabrage Class in Barcelona: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Barcelona.
How much does Sabre the Moment: Cava Sabrage Class in Barcelona cost?
+
Prices start at $86 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Barcelona usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sabre the Moment: Cava Sabrage Class in Barcelona take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Barcelona is not rushed.
Is Sabre the Moment: Cava Sabrage Class in Barcelona worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Barcelona, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sabre the Moment: Cava Sabrage Class in Barcelona?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sabre the Moment: Cava Sabrage Class in Barcelona suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sabre the Moment: Cava Sabrage Class in Barcelona?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Barcelona can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Barcelona and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sabre the Moment: Cava Sabrage Class in Barcelona start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Barcelona within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Barcelona?
+
Barcelona's Gaudí sites are capacity-limited and the official timed tickets go first, so most of the market is resellers with a guide attached. We weight those heavily on whether the guide is an architecture specialist. Beyond Gaudí, the tapas crawls in Gràcia and the Montserrat day trips carry the highest rankings in the city. On Outty we rank every Barcelona experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Costa Brava Tour: Kayak, Snorkel & Cliff Jump from Barcelona, Gràcia Tapas and Vermouth Crawl, Girona & Dali Museum Small Group Tour with Pick-up from Barcelona. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Barcelona?
+
May, June, September and October. Sagrada Família light is best mid-morning. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Barcelona?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Sabre the Moment: Cava Sabrage Class in Barcelona?
+
Included: Snacks; and Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Sabre the Moment: Cava Sabrage Class in Barcelona?
+
Nearest metro Pl.Espanya or Hostafrancs Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Sabre the Moment: Cava Sabrage Class in Barcelona offered in?
+
It is offered in English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+
