L'essence du Priorat | Visite privée des vins au départ de Barcelone
Description
Embarquez pour une expédition viticole dans ce qui était l'une des zones rurales les plus confinées de Catalogne jusqu'à la fin du XXe siècle! DOQ Priorat est l'une des deux seules appellations d'origine les mieux classées en Espagne (d'où le Q pour la qualité).
Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Voyager à DOQ Priorat depuis Barcelone ressemble à une véritable expédition œnologique dans laquelle, du coup, nous abandonnons notre réalité pour plonger dans un décor isolé du temps. Une réalité parallèle pleine de vin. Ça ne sonne pas mal du tout!
Le paysage d'El Priorat est composé de collines méditerranéennes des pentes, des routes sinueuses goudronnées très récemment et de minuscules villages abandonnés entourés de vignobles et pleins de caves. Grâce à la vision d'un groupe de vignerons à la fin des années 80 et au travail acharné de nombreuses femmes et hommes, el Priorat produit aujourd'hui certains des vins les plus prestigieux au monde. Leur formule est celle des plus grandes: de très vieilles vignes, de minuscules productions, un temps sec et rude et une culture viticole presque religieuse. L'obsession des producteurs locaux de cette région a transformé El Priorat. Qu'est-ce qu'une zone économiquement défavorisée où cultiver négligemment des raisins en grande quantité est maintenant un sanctuaire du vin. Ici, les productions sont si faibles que très souvent les vignerons embouteillent les raisins d'un seul vignoble pour faire un grand vin qui diffère de celui du vignoble suivant de la manière la plus intéressante.

Tour guide Toni was excellent. This was my 2nd tour with the company. Pricey but well worth it. You won’t regret.
Dear Michael! We're thrilled to hear that Toni made your tour experience excellent, and it's fantastic to have you back for a second tour with us. Your acknowledgment that it's well worth the price means a lot to us. Thank you for your kind words and recommendation. We can't wait to welcome you back for more memorable experiences in the future! Warm regards, Castlexperience Team
My husband and I booked two private wine tours from Barcelona with Castlexperience. Both tours were outstanding and worth the cost. The guides, Victor and Javi, were personable and very knowledgeable about wine. By the time the tours were over, we felt like they were our friends. We've traveled all over the world, and the lunches on the tours were some of the best we've ever had. We enjoyed learning about the local grapes as well as the process for making cava. The wineries we visited provided high quality samples with no pressure to buy, but we ended up buying a few bottles to take home and also shipped some bottles to the U.S. Thank you Castlexperience!
Dear Holly, We're amazed by such a review. First of all, we have to thank you deeply, not only for trusting us one time but two! It is really rewarding to hear from you these words of appreciation of the work of Javi and Victor, and of the work of the rest of team. We are happy that you enjoyed so much with us and learned a bit more about our wine culture. We trully hope that the rest of your stay in Barcelona was great, and if you and your husband ever come back, please contact us! Thank you so much, Castlexperience team
Discussing wine production with the Vintner while in the vineyard. Very knowledgeable. Really became aware of the complications of preparing wine... truly scientific and artful because conditions are different very year. The tasting was also very personal with the Vintner discussing the the taste of the wine as we ate different cheeses and bread. Been on many wine tours but i learned more on this tour than any others.
Thank you for taking the time to share your recent visit to our tours, James! We are delighted to hear that you had an amazing time. We would love to welcome you again and thank you for recommending us! Warm regards, Castlexperience Team
Our guide Pol was outstanding and the perfect host. Both wineries were hospitable, insightful, educational and fun. Dual winery was exceptional. We would highly recommend this as it was the highlight of our vacation. Not cheap but well worth the expense.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us we are very grateful. And we're happy you enjoyed the Priorat Private Tour and our guide Pol we will let him know.
Our guide, Paul, and winemaker, Antonio, were outstanding. They were extremely knowledgeable, and the wines were delicious.
Hello James! Thanks for taking the time to send us your feedback :) We are very happy to read you enjoyed the tour and will make sure that Pol and Antonio know that their charm, knowledge and hosting skills didn’t go unnoticed! Kind regards, Castlexperience team
To make it short: Luis is a great gude, we got one of our best tours and felt always save and a bit like VIP. Organizational highlight was to get a timeslott for the black madonna ;) All stories told were interesting and all questions answered well, thx again, Luis! This company was recommended by our hotel staff member Ophelia and we said thank you to her too. cu martina and Joe(rg)
Hi, there! Thank you so much for stopping by! Luis is a great storyteller indeed and we are sure he will be happy reading your comments :) We are also glad that you could see the black madonna from close range! All of our visitors can see her from the basilica, but nowadays with all the COVID restrictions is quite difficult to find spots for the closer experience. Take care and come back soon!
