Martin Faixo

Martin Faixo, a family story

In 2000, The Martin Faixo family, from Cadaquès, decided to get into viticulture and wine production in the Cap de Creus natural park. In 2003, the family definitively acquired the land to restore it and transform it into a cellar. In 2004, the first vines were sufficiently mature and the grapes ready to be harvested (by hand of course) in order to be worked. This is how in 2007 the first red wines from the domaine came out, ready to be marketed. The rosé followed soon after.

The name of Martin Faixo comes from the father (Martin), who has always worked in the restoration and from the mother (Faixo) passionate about fishing and the cultivation of the vine and olive trees. It is therefore natural that the Martin Faixo winery was born, with the wine domaine on one side and the Can Rafa restaurant located in Cadaquès on the other.

And in 2010, the domaine decided to live with the times and to broaden its offer by integrating a wine tourism dimension into its activity. So, you can now come and spend one or more nights in one of the five rooms of Mas Perafita. The Costa Brava, its vineyards and tourist activities are waiting for you!

Martin Faixo wines

The Martin Faixo estate has 14 hectares of vineyards, mainly composed of picpoul, Alexandrian muscat, cabernet sauvignon, merlot and grenache noir which are cultivated on a slate mineral soil.

They have an average annual production of around 50,000 bottles, in white, red, rosé and even sweet. Sold under the names Cadac and Perafita (in reference to the name of the 14th century farm), these wines are sure to delight your taste buds on any occasion!

Can Rafa restaurant

Since 1982, Rafa and Carmen have been at the helm of this unique restaurant, located on Paseo de Cadaqués, by the sea, welcoming customers in a warm and family atmosphere. Now, the future generation is ready to take over. Their three children inherited their parents' passion and enthusiasm for this profession and the desire to satisfy their customers.

The cuisine of Can Rafa is authentic, local and respectful of local products. You will find a wide variety of fish and seafood directly from Cadaquès fishermen and the Cap de Creus markets.
