Catalan Table: A Journey for All Generations

This retreat is a multigenerational immersion into Catalonia’s food, wine, and landscape, anchored by restorative downtime at Cabanyes Entre Valls in La Vall de Bianya, where private cabins and quiet nature create an easy, intimate rhythm between experiences. Each day balances genuine access to chefs, artisans, and winemakers with playful, hands-on moments for children, so adults gain depth and understanding while kids feel meaningfully included. The journey moves fluidly between mountains, cities, vineyards, and the sea, revealing Catalonia as it is lived, cooked, and passed down.
