The campaign will run from Friday, September 16 through Sunday, September 25.

The enthusiasm for Cava Discovery Week is growing: this year the program will feature more partners than ever before, including some of New York City’s most celebrated restaurants, bars, and retail shops: 390 SocialBazár TapasBoro6 Wine BarCasa Mono & Bar JamónClayContentoCopake Wine WorksCopinetteCorkbuzz Union SquareDespaña Fine Foods & Tapas CaféEl BornGary’s Wine and MarketplaceGrape CollectiveHuertasLa CavaMercado Little SpainOliva TapasPompette Wine & Spirits and Musette Wine BarSocarrat Paella Bar (3 locations), Somm Time, and Tomiño Taberna Gallega.

The expansion of Cava Discovery Week echoes a general increase in interest nationwide as sales of Cava continue to excel in the U.S.—in 2021 Cava sales to export markets increased by 11% to 71% of total sales (D.O. Cava) and, in the U.S. market, Cava was up 9% compared to 2020 (SipSource).

At such a pivotal time, D.O. Cava remains committed to executing its ambitious strategic plan propelled by the new zoning and segmentation regulations designed to unite producers under common goals of advancing quality and bringing visibility to the singularities of different sub-regions and vineyard sites. 

“Unity is fundamental at such decisive times for the future of the sector,” says Javier Pagés, the newly re-elected President of the D.O. Cava. “With it, the sector can achieve all the challenges we have set for ourselves and be a leading global designation of origin for some of the world’s highest quality sparkling wines.”
