The Tast de Vins Base Corpinnat returns on 1 February 2026 with a new format and venue
Corpinnat is renewing the format and venue of the fourth edition of the Tast de Vins Base. It will be held on Sunday 1 February 2026 at the Palau Moxó in Barcelona (plaça de Sant Just, 4), in the heart of the city’s Gothic Quarter, and for the first time will run all day. In the morning, the tasting will be open to everyone, enthusiasts and wine lovers, while the afternoon will be aimed at trade visitors. The aim is to offer a format tailored to each audience so that everyone can discover what makes corpinnats unique.
The Tast de Vins Base Corpinnat, held on the eve of Barcelona Wine Week, is a unique opportunity to discover the essence of Corpinnat sparkling wines. Base wine is the still wine obtained after the first fermentation of the grapes. It is the foundation of what will eventually become a corpinnat, once the second fermentation in the bottle and the long ageing period have taken place.
Tickets for the tasting went on sale today and can be purchased at this link.
Sixteen masterclasses have been scheduled in Catalan, Spanish and English to explore the uniqueness of Corpinnat base wines
The morning session will take place from 11 am to 2 pm and is open to everyone, enthusiasts and wine lovers, who will be able to enjoy more than a hundred wines: three sparkling wines and one Corpinnat base wine from the 2025 harvest from each of the wineries that make up the collective brand. They will also be able to taste wines from the 9 wineries of Subsierra, which is taking part this year as the guest region. Subsierra is an association of winegrowers bringing together family businesses from Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa committed to the land and sustainability.
The ticket price is €50 and includes a complimentary Riedel glass.
From 4 pm to 8 pm the afternoon session will take place, aimed at trade professionals and experts, most of whom are attending Barcelona Wine Week, held from 2 to 4 February.
Visitors will be able to taste more than 100 corpinnats: 4 base wines and 3 finished corpinnats from each winery. Participants will also be able to compare a finished Corpinnat with the corresponding base wine from the 2025 harvest and assess its ageing potential.
The ticket price is €150 and tickets can be purchased at this link.
Throughout the day, some fifteen masterclasses in Catalan, Spanish and English have been scheduled to explore the uniqueness and specific features of Corpinnat base wines. The sessions, led by the wineries’ winemakers, will offer an in-depth look at base wines made from Macabeu, Garnatxa Negra, Sumoll or Xarel·lo, multi-vintage wines and ancestral-method wines, among others.
All attendees at the Tast de Vins Base Corpinnat will be able to take part in the training sessions, without prior registration, in both the morning and the afternoon sessions.
