Raventos i Blanc Winemaker Weekend
Indulge in an unforgettable three-day oenological escape as Brush Creek Ranch welcomes Pepe Raventós, winemaker at Raventós i Blanc, representing the 21st generation in one of the most exciting Spanish sparkling wine producers and probably one of the longest family viticulture tradition in the world -since 1497-. Renowned as a leading figure in modern Catalan winemaking, Pepe -known as visionary and rebel- pursues his dream of creating a new quality DO for Penedès sparkling wines, where valleys, villages and vineyards take center stage. Pepe will personally guide intimate tastings featuring selections from Raventós i Blanc, Can Sumoi and Vins Pepe Raventós.
Guests will explore the minerality of Raventós i Blanc’s sparkling wines, shaped by the estate’s ancient marine soils and a distinctive microclimate. They will discover the meticulous, sustainable working methods of carefully hand-tended vineyards and biodynamic practices supported by horses and farm animals. They will also be introduced to Can Sumoi, Pepe’s passion for the Penedès region, and the recovery of old vines and native varieties. Launched in 2017, it is a high-altitude organic estate, recognized among Wine & Spirits’ “Top 100 Wineries” in both 2022 and 2023. As for Vins Pepe Raventós, guests will discover Pepe’s most personal and intimate wines: micro-vinifications from vineyard parcels of less than two hectares, with 100 year old vines.
Over the course of the weekend, Brush Creek Ranch’s iconic luxury sets the stage for an extraordinary culinary and experiential journey. Expect a thoughtfully paired multicourse dinner, learning about regenerative viticulture and ancestral winemaking traditions, and curated outdoor experiences that echo the deep connection to land that defines both Brush Creek Ranch and the Raventós i Blanclegacy.

Meet Pepe Raventós
Meet Pepe Raventós, winemaker, viticulturist, and 21st generation at Raventós i Blanc.. As a child, he spent his summers harvesting grapes in Sant Sadurnf d’Anoia and later worked in the vineyards of Saint-Émilion, where he learned to make red wines. After training as an oenologist, he gained experience crafting terroir-driven wines alongside Didier Dagueneau in Pouilly-Fume, Olivier Lamy in Saint-Aubin, Harald Hexamer in the Nahe region, and Philippe Blanco in Alsace.
Over the past 20 years, has helped grow the family business into an international wine brand and a global reference for its ancestral methods and sustainable viticulture practices-bringing together animals, plants, and people within a unique ecosystem. Pepe has also proven himself to be dynamic and forward-thinking. In 2012, he made the pioneering decision to leave the DO Cava and embark on a new path: Conca del Riu Anoia. Since then, he has pursued his dream of creating a new denomination of origin for high-quality sparkling wines from the Penedès. He is convinced that “we can convey our winemaking traditions, the strength of our land, our unique grape varieties, and the character of our soils.”
His goal remains unchanged: to pursue excellence in everything he does -not through perfection, but through authenticity- selecting the finest grapes from each plot. Viticulture and the vineyard are his true passion: “When you realize that nature is the protagonist, you can make wines that are closer to art,” he explains.
