Sampling wine tourism
The taste of wine is closely linked to the flavours of the landscape, its aromas and people. Explore this relationship and feel it on your palate. The counties of Barcelona are a haven for lovers of wine tourism. They are home to five Protected Designations of Origin: Penedès, Pla de Bages, Alella, Catalunya and Cava. They all offer a rich variety of wines that are surprisingly unique. Walk through the landscape, see how the land is cultivated, talk to the growers, smell the freshly harvested grapes, wander among the vines and take part in the harvest. And afterwards, close your eyes and taste the produce … Because drinking wine will never be the same after you've been on a wine tourism experience like this one.
Enjoy a trip to the smallest Designation of Origin and the famous festival celebrating the grape harvest, the Festa de la Verema. Visit an archaeological site that proves there were vines here two thousand years ago.
Cava
Are you a real cava lover? Sant Sadurní d'Anoia is an unmissable destination. You'll understand why it's the cava capital.
The Designation of Origin that offers the most tourist activities focusing on wine and cava: tastings in unique settings, modernista wineries and dramatised trails.
Enjoy a genuine experience working on the land, walking among the vines or exploring the dry stone hut trail.
