Wine and gastronomy are part of Catalonia’s popular culture. Through this tour, delve into the Penedès region to learn all about the fascinating world of wine. The influence of the sun and the Mediterranean Sea make the Penedès a privileged territory for winemaking. We will travel on a luxury private bus to visit 2 hand-picked selected wineries. Our first stop is a family-run boutique winery that has been cultivating vines for more than two thousand years. Upon arrival, we will be welcomed by an expert winemaker who will tell us about the history of this millenary winery and guide us into the subterranean wine cellar. In this remarkable space, we learn fascinating facts about grape varieties, vine growing, winemaking and the optimal conditions for its storage. It is now time to savour 4 charming wines in a stylish tasting room, accompanied by an assortment of gourmet delicatessen. Next, we will visit the traditional manor house (current residence of the owner family) and the vineyards to discover the art and secrets of winemaking! To add a glamorous touch to the experience, continue the visit through the vineyards on board a convertible 4x4 car (approx. 40 min.) accompanied by our guide and a viticulturist, a true passionate expert! A unique and exclusive way to visit a stunning rural landscape with endless vineyards. Along the way, admire a Romanesque church settle among the vineyards and belonging to the manor. The second cellar visited is an equally historical winery specialized in cava, a naturally sparkling wine with an unmistakable flavour deeply rooted in Catalonia. We have an exclusive opportunity to enter the Capella, the heart of the cellar, being the oldest part of the winery. This is an enchanting candle-lit ancient room where time stands still. After visiting the vineyard and cellar, taste 4 unique cavas. These are also paired with a selection of appetizers to enhance the experience. Raise your glass for a toast to a great wine experience! This Small group tour lasts approximately 6 hours. The afternoon is free to spend as you choose. (B)
