How to Host Flawlessly with Segura Viudas Cava Brut

Now that you know why Segura Viudas Cava Brut is the ultimate hosting wine, here’s how to serve it with style and ease:

  1. Keep Chilled: Cava is best served chilled, ideally at a temperature between 45°F to 50°F (7°C to 10°C). To ensure your Segura Viudas Cava Brut is at the perfect temp, store it in the fridge for at least four hours before your event. If you’re short on time, placing the bottle in a bucket of ice water for 20-30 minutes will do the trick. (Pottery Barn offers fancy ice buckets for nearly any occasion, though, really, any old bowl will do!)
  2. Perfect Glassware: While Champagne flutes are a classic choice, don’t hesitate to serve Segura Viudas Cava Brut in white wine glasses. The wider bowl allows the bubbles and aromas to develop more fully, enhancing the tasting experience. Plus, white wine glasses give off a more relaxed, yet still elegant vibe. Oh, and the stemless kind are super trendy ATM!
  3. Food Pairing Ideas: If you want to wow your guests with food pairings, start with light hors d’oeuvres like prosciutto-wrapped melon, shrimp cocktail or smoked salmon crostini. For the main course, roasted chicken, grilled seafood or a vegetable risotto will perfectly complement Segura Viudas Cava Brut’s vibrant acidity. End the meal with something simple but elegant—think fresh berries or a lemon tart.
  4. Create the Atmosphere: It’s not just about the wine; setting the right mood is key. Whether you’re hosting indoors or outdoors, set up some soft lighting, light a few candles and play background music that fits the vibe of your gathering. Make sure to keep the mood relaxed and welcoming, allowing your guests to feel comfortable and at ease.
  5. Pour Like a Pro: When serving Segura Viudas Cava Brut, pour slowly down the side of the glass to maintain the bubbles. Serve about one-third of a glass at a time to allow your guests to savour the aromas and flavours. And don’t forget—always hold the bottle by the base for an added touch of elegance.

Remember: hosting a flawless event doesn’t have to be complicated. With Segura Viudas Cava Brut, you’ve got a sparkling wine that checks all the boxes—affordable, versatile and crowd-pleasing.
