Sant Joan's night is a night of joy

Starred with flowers, summer arrives.

Give me champagne

(“La Nit de Sant Joan – Jaume Sisa”)

Ara potser miraríem de fer rima amb cava, i és que arriba una de les nits més sonades a Catalunya i la resta de territoris de cultura catalana. La Revetlla de Sant Joan, “que és la nit més curta i el dia més gran”. La nit del 23 de juny, amb el solstici d’estiu (tot i que amb dos dies de retard) i aquesta celebració i culte al sol, amb l’allargament del dia. Una nit màgica, de foc, d’espectacles de llum i colors.

And to make the most of the shortest night of the year, the best pairing with centuries-old tradition and these gatherings with family and friends, sharing a good dinner. And don’t forget the coca de Sant Joan and cava for dessert!

What type of coca do you like best? There are now many versions for all tastes. The most typical are the brioche one topped with fruit or custard, and the one with pork crackling.

I què millor que aquesta beguda que tant ens refresca, ideal per nits de calor, festa i celebració. És un dia on sí que el cava es reivindica com a beguda per brindar i celebrar. I també volem avinturar-te a gaudir-ne com a aperitiu, com a copa per refrescar-te i que t’acompanyi durant tot un sopar o dinar. Veuràs com te n’aniràs prenent una darrere l’altre, i hi haurà un abans i un després en els teus àpats.

This time, with Avinturat's wineries that make cava and sparkling wines, we want to help you choose the ideal ones for this long-awaited night.

FromAlella Vinícola, with its blanc de negres sparkling wine, which will make the night last a little longer.

In Conca, the Trepat rosé from Mas Foraster. Red fruit, brioche and spices. Delicate, fresh and elegant.

If we move to the Empordà area, there are two varieties worth mentioning.

The freshness of a rosé for party nights with the Escuturit Rosat from Celler Espelt. With a vivid pink colour, a small and persistent bubble. Forest fruits, blackcurrant and blackberries. With a sweet, balanced entry.

And on the other hand the ancestral method of Cellers d’en Guilla, to contrast with a night full of tradition. A great pairing.

Coming from the Garraf and Penedès area, the options are varied, such as the cocas (flatbreads).

Those from theAvenc del Garraf with their #Flordenesprer, will make us believe we have a piece of coca cake in our mouth before we even start eating it. With its fruit, nutty and pastry notes.

From Sumarroca, offer us their Cava Brut Reserva. Elegant and  with a fine bubble. The freshness of the Mediterranean, ideal for the Night of Sant Joan.

And those from Miquel Jané, they have a “rare bird”, a sauvignon blanc sparkling wine. A bold and different sparkling wine, always ready to delight the most demanding palates.

From some very special vineyards come some ideal bubbles with the Innat fromEudald Massana. A brut nature with no added sulphites. A great night and a great day guaranteed.

For those who don't want to overthink it, but do know they want to have a great time, the Trastocat from Celler Carol Vallès it's a cava that parties! Informal, wild and very loyal, the ideal companion for celebrations.

And before leaving this area, we have another ancestral sparkling wine from Mas dels Clavers. Which will open the doors for you to enter «in style» on this magical Saint John's Eve.

Go on, and a bonus track courtesy ofArt Cava. With this we suggest you learn to make your own sparkling wine. A great experience that will make you forget about the rest of the week and treat your palate in the company of your loved ones!

Don't be silly and forget about the Montsant area. Because the folks at Ronadelles have their own sparkling Cap de Ruc, the essence of the Mediterranean.

On a night like Sant Joan, if you want to recapture the essence of the origins in every element of the night, you'll need the Lluís Guitart Reserva cava from Caves Artium, in the Pla de Bages.  A sugar-free cava, a special yeast, a blend dominated by Macabeo and long ageing in the bottle make it ideal for celebrating Sant Joan.

Have you ever tried a sparkling wine made from the Subirat Parent variety from Tarragona? This Sant Joan is the moment to do it with the Brut Nature Subirat from Cellers Blanch. This will help you create memories of good times shared with your loved ones.

And we very much agree with them, who believe that now, after everything we've been through with covid, what we need is to be with our loved ones.

And share these moments around a table, enjoying a good meal and toasting with our family and friends. It's the best gift to make the most of this Saint John's Eve.

Happy Revetlla night, time to go on an adventure!
