CATALONIA WINE TOURS

Penedès Cava, Wine & Culture 1 day group Tour

Whenever you come to Spain, but to Barcelona in particular, and would like to take an exciting wine tour, give us a chance to professionally and warmly take care about yourself as well as your friends or family.

DO Penedès red, white and sparkling wines, food, culture, and magic countryside.
Alt Penedès is Barcelona's quiet wine garden We like small and friendly, so
no big wineries or big tour groups, and we like variety so there will be a sparkling wine producer and a red wine specialist with culture, countryside and food in between.

Our tours follow back-roads through the vineyards of Penedès, the most innovative wine region of Spain. There are hundreds of small wineries producing excellent sparkling wines, elegant whites and big terroir reds. We have met all the winemakers and tasted their brews. We look forward to introducing visitors to this beautiful wine country and showing you the best of Southern Catalonia. Penedès and the other wine regions of Southern Catalonia are bursting with Iberian, Roman, Moorish, Romanesque, Gothic and Modernist culture.

Summer and winter the region purrs with fiesta majors, wine and food events, theatre, cinema and art festivals, medieval fairs, parades and pageants. We keep a close eye on the calendar of events so you get in touch with real Southern Catalonia.


In Catalonia, you will be hosted and guidede by VINTRIPS's best friend and one of the most experienced wine guides in Spain, British born - Paddy
