Nestled in the heart of rural Mallorca, Can Cavall Blau offers a rare and authentic glimpse into the island’s farming heritage, far from the usual tourist paths. The brainchild of Katja Lebelt, a passionate farmer, polo player, and former stage designer, this regenerative farm is a vibrant meeting point for locals and visitors alike. For the past eight years, Katja has lived in Sencelles, blending her love for horses, sustainable agriculture, and community-building into an inviting experience that celebrates the island’s natural beauty and culture.
At Can Cavall Blau, the focus is on authenticity. Every Sunday afternoon, the farm opens its gates for the “Amargéro Hour,” a relaxed social gathering where guests can sip on the signature Amargéro aperitif, sample natural wines, and enjoy homemade snacks while mingling with islanders and fellow travellers. Visitors can also explore the farm, meet the horses, and watch polo training sessions as the sun sets behind the Tramuntana mountains. It’s a moment to unwind, connect, and truly experience the soul of Mallorca.
Beyond the weekly gatherings, visitors have the unique opportunity to hear first-hand about the joys and challenges of regenerative farming in a changing climate. They can witness the careful craftsmanship behind Can Cavall Blau’s low-intervention aperitifs and wines, gaining a deeper appreciation for sustainable agricultural practices. Watching the polo horses being trained adds another layer to the experience, as guests take in the stunning landscape and reconnect with nature. To bring a piece of this magic home, all farm products are available for purchase directly on-site.
For those seeking a more immersive experience, the farm also offers unique events like “Tasting for Thirty,” a long-table gathering with tastings of Amargéro and organic wines paired with dishes crafted by guest chefs using locally sourced ingredients. Private tastings and polo lessons are available for groups, providing a personalised touch to the Can Cavall Blau experience.
Whether you’re indulging in a spritz, exploring natural wines, or simply soaking in the rural charm of Mallorca, Can Cavall Blau promises an experience that connects you to the essence of the island—its people, its products, and its tranquil landscapes.
