    This day excursion from Barcelona is designed for wine lovers looking for a luxurious experience combining wine, gourmet cuisine, scenery and comfort.

    Luxury Wine Tour, Barcelona, Spain Your chauffeured Mercedes and expert wine guide will pick you up at your Barcelona hotel and you´ll travel south into Mediterranean Penedés. The wine region of Penedès has been famous since the 19th century for its traditional method sparkling Cavas (Like Codorniu and Freixenet) and in more recent years for its rich, velvety reds (Miguel Torres and Jean Leon being the most famous estates for red). Penedès also produces excellent Rosados (rosé wines), some of the best in Spain in fact (apart from Navarra) and fascinating varietal white wines with native grapes Xarel.lo and Parellada. The region is home to hundreds of wineries, from enormous cellars with beautiful historic cellars such as Codorniu to small boutique wineries, nearly all family owned.

    Wine Tasting, Barcelona, Spain Your tour will begin at a Napa style small design winery where you will receive a very friendly welcome followed by a private tour of the boutique estate. Enjoy a walk through the experimental vineyard where along with native grapes you´ll also see more familiar ones such as Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Carry on to a lovely tasting room, all windows, overlooking the gorgeous vineyards. You´ll taste four of the estate´s best wines here and receive personalized tasting sheets with your name as a keepsake. Your next stop is to a contrasting but equally wonderful estate. The second winery is family run, owned by two brothers whose wives are the superb winemakers. Here you will be received by the owners themselves and first enjoy a walk through their gorgeous vineyard. Carry on to a private tour of the winery with fascinating commentary throughout.

    Your tasting will consist of seven wines, which include two quite spectacular cavas (bubbly), interesting varietal whites and reds (including the top red Absis) and even an excellent red wine from this cellar’s Priorat estate. After an utterly charming visit, you will say goodbye to your hosts and head to the seaside town of Sitges.

    Sitges is a historic fishing village cum resort located on the coast south of Barcelona. The buildings are white washed and all clustered around the historic church. You will enjoy lunch at one of the best gourmet restaurants in town, overlooking the sea. Lunch will be a variety of Catalan tapas as starters such as marinated roast vegetables (Escalivada) and farm house cheeses, followed by succulent seafood paella, all paired with top wines from the Penedes and a welcome glass of bubbly.

    After lunch, enjoy a walk along the seaside and a peek in the old town before heading back to Barcelona. Before our expert guide and chauffeur drop you back to your hotel, you’ll be given a gift as a special reminder of the day. For those wanting to splurge on a special wine tasting excursion, this trip is for you!


    Customer Feedback:

    “It’s obvious that you only visit the most friendly and personable wineries. We did enjoy the contrast of our day which featured one more family oriented winery and the other with more name recognition. It was a real treat to see what opportunities await for a winery and where another’s success had already come to be realized. What we did love was when it came to the tasting - one of the winemakers was impressed with the selection of vintages arranged for our tour! Everything meet and exceeded our expectations! ”

    Scott and Pamela Kucsma, New York.
