The night of June 23rd is much more than the shortest night of the year: it’s an explosion of light, fire, and emotions that marks the beginning of summer. Known as the night of witches and wishes, Saint John’s Eve keeps that ancestral charm that invites sharing, toasting, and celebrating.
And like any great outdoor party, a good meal and a fine cava cannot be missing. The bubbles of cava not only refresh but also enhance flavors, turning every dish into an experience. We suggest four pairings with Castell d’Or cavas to make the shortest night the tastiest one.
Watermelon, cucumber, mint, and feta salad + Castell d’Or Brut Organic Cava
A light, refreshing salad full of contrasts: sweetness, saltiness, freshness, and texture. The Brut Organic, with its clean, fruity, and organic profile, highlights Mediterranean flavors and enhances the dish’s freshness. An ideal start to open the appetite and awaken the senses.
Shrimp Russian salad + Flama d’Or Brut Imperial Cava
The classic creaminess of the Russian salad, with the sea notes of shrimp, is perfectly complemented by the structure and finesse of the Flama d’Or Brut Imperial. A cava with fine bubbles and a gastronomic profile, ideal for giving strength and lightness to traditional dishes. A pairing that surprises with its harmony.
Roasted vegetable flatbread with goat cheese + Cabaret Brut Nature Reserva Cava
A fresh and flavorful proposal: roasted vegetable flatbread with goat cheese combines intense flavors and Mediterranean aromas. The Cabaret Brut Nature Reserva, aged for over 24 months, adds complexity, subtle toasted notes, and a mineral touch that highlights the dish’s character. Perfect for sharing and enjoying leisurely.
Crunchy-based cheesecake + Castell d’Or Brut Rosé Cava
To end the evening on a sweet note, a creamy cheesecake with a crunchy base. The Brut Rosé, made 100% from Trepat, brings lively freshness, floral hints, and a slightly citrus finish that contrasts beautifully with the cake’s creaminess. An elegant and refreshing finale for a night made for dreaming.
Saint John’s Eve is fire, festivity, and cava. Celebrate it with flavors that shine.
