Absolutely Brilliant

Amy_M, Apr 2022

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!!!

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.

One of the highlights of my trip!

This was such a fun experience. Learning about the wines in the area was very interesting. Zara is such a warm and gracious hostess. We chatted the entire time and left feeling like friends. I also was able to buy a couple bottles of great wine. On my return home all my friends could talk about was the amazing video of my new skill and wanting to see it in person. It's such a fun party, weekend, weekday, or even Friday afternoon in the office trick. I ended up buying a sabre of my own since it's been requested so often.
