Itinerary
Start your day with pickup at your hotel or apartment in Barcelona and depart in a comfortable vehicle to the Penedes region, less than an hour from Barcelona. Long considered one of the country's best wine-producing regions, it is also one of the most ancient viticultural areas in Europe. The Penedes region has been producing wine since the Roman times and nowadays sells more than a hundred wineries in more than 380 million bottles. First, you go to a winery with signature wines on a property of 40 acres of organic farming where you can feel the influence of the essence of the Mediterranean. In fact, it was a mutatio (resting area) in the Roman times, being part of the Via Augusta. From the beginning of the 1300s until today it has been in the hands of the same family.
Continue the tour and visit the first winery in the Penedes that produced ecological wine for the Danish market. From the beginning of the 1900s, the same family has been running the company, utilizing 100 percent of their fields for ecological production using 15 different varieties of grapes.
Take a break and head to a local restaurant for a marvelous three-course meal. Take pleasure in the exclusive gastronomy of the area.
Finally, visit a winery known for its high-quality products. This winery, boasting ecological agriculture with beautiful views of Montserrat mountain, has some of the oldest vines around. The tour ends here then take your return transportation back to your hotel or apartment in Barcelona where the tour started

We have visited wine regions around the world with many guides. I can tell you that Felciano is the best guide we have ever had and the Penedes wine region cannot be missed. Felciano not only introduced us to three great wineries and some fantastic wines, but he also told us about the history of Catalonia and its people. He also gave us great recommendations for the rest of our trip. We feel as if we now have a true friend in Barcelona. Merci, Feliciano!
Thank you for your amazing review John! It was a pleasure spending the day with you in Penedès. Feliciano truly is an exceptional guide, and we’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed not only the wines and wineries but also the history and culture of Catalonia. Knowing that you leave with such great memories and a new friendship in Barcelona makes us so happy. We hope to see you again in the future for more adventures and discoveries! 🍷😊 Best Regards Rafael

Dear Janet, Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review on us! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Feliciano. We look forward to having you in Barcelona again soon.
This private tour was a unique opportunity to explore the beautiful wine region outside of Barcelona while traveling in comfort and conversing effortlessly with our wonderful guide Miguel. Miguel went out of his way to make this experience memorable for us. He was engaging, knowledgeable, professional and enthusiastic. Miguel’s passion for Catalan culture added to the enjoyment of the tour. He took every opportunity to customize the trip to our specific needs and interests. As a bonus, he has a photographers eye and often asked if he could take a photo of us with spectacular scenery as a backdrop, leaving us with nice mementos of the day. We learned much about the process and challenges of creating fine organic wine from the three wineries we visited. It was a wonderful day and we highly recommend this tour and tour company!
We had a great time!! Our guide was very thorough & made our Wine tasting day very enjoyable!! I highly recommend this co.
Very impressed with this tour. Our tour guide was Feliciano and from the second we met up with him he was absolutely phenomenal. He is extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the city of Barcelona and the wines all over the region. He gave us a lot of useful information about the area and places to have some good food and drinks. Feliciano was even so sweet he offered to take multiple photos of us for our memory. We ended up taking home 8 bottles of wine and local olive oil and honey. We went to three beautiful wineries out in the Penedes region and we were blown away by the beauty of it all. Our lunch was delicious and my boyfriend who is a picky eater loved it. They gave us plenty of options to choose from for lunch. I would highly recommend this tour because you will not be disappointed.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are so happy you loved your tour of the Penedes wine region and even bought some of the local products to take home with you to remember the experience. Feliciano sends his regards! Next time you are in Barcelona, we hope you think of us for your touring needs.
