Wine-making in Catalonia…
Catalonia, in north-east Spain, is blessed with diverse and fertile soils and a warm climate which have proved to be perfect conditions for wine-making for centuries. Today over 70,000 hectares in Catalonia are given over to wineries and vineyards, across 12 different classified denominacion de origen regions, and the province has a long history of production that can be dated back to the Phoenicians, an ancient civilisation who arrived on the Iberian peninsular long before the Romans.
Catalonia, in north-east Spain, is blessed with diverse and fertile soils and a warm climate which have proved to be perfect conditions for wine-making for centuries.
Whilst vintages on this side of the Pyrenees don’t always garner the same praise as their French cousins across the border, the vineyards of Spanish and Catalan wineries have been turning out great tasting blends for generations now: although it wasn’t perhaps until the 19th century when regional producers truly mastered the art. It was of course at that time that the production of the now world famous Cava wines began, when Josep Raventos of the Codorniu winery successfully imitated the French Champagne method of producing sparkling vintages in the early 1870s.
The breathtaking landscape of the Penedes….
The Codorniu winery remains one of the most famous and popular in Spain, but there are in fact many more around Barcelona where you can visit and tour the vineyards and cellars – as well as of course indulge in some wine tasting, whether you prefer red, white, sparkling or still.
Finding your perfect tour…
The goal of this page is to help travellers connect with the perfect wine experience for them.
Some are combined with other attractions like Montserrat mountain, or sailing trips, which might suit travellers who want to fit more experiences into their travels.
Top 11 Wine Tasting Activities
Although it can be cheaper to travel independently from Barcelona to the surrounding vineyards by public transport, you may find that joining an organised excursion is worth the extra dinero you pay when it comes to enjoying a day out at the cellars.
Instead of having to research the wineries opening day/times, trying to find out when English-speaking tours are available, and navigating train timetables on the Renfe website , you can simply concentrate on enjoying some lovely wines and Cavas! Additionally, some of the very best wineries are only reachable by car, and no one wants to be the designated driver on a wine tour…

Let’s get out of town and explore some wineries!
For a hands-on wine tasting tour, look no further than the Create Your Own Cava experience. This day out combines all the activities of any self-respecting wine tour, such as a guided stroll around the sun-kissed vineyards, a nose around the cellars, and a thorough explanation of the production process, but it also invites people to participate directly in the wine’s preparation. After sampling three blends of Cava, guests choose a bottle of their favourite and then tackle the tricky process of ‘disgorgement’ themselves. Great fun, and afterwards you can personalise the bottle you prepared… and take it home to drink at your leisure! The cost is just 60 euros per head and includes free pick up from the local train station in the Penedes (you can easily make the 50 min rail journey from Barcelona). Splash out a bit extra and you can round off your tour with a rustic lunch in the romantic environs of the 1,000-year-old farm house. Email [email protected] with your group size and available dates to reserve, or to ask for more info. The great value price and reviews make this our number one booked eno-activity!

Below we list some of the expert local providers, and what they offer:
1. Castlexperience
A young company, offering daily wine tasting trips from Barcelona, Castlexperience will transport you from the hubbub of the city to their modern winery in Oller del Mas, where you will relax in an idyllic environment whilst learning about – and sampling – the cellar’s finest produce. They offer numerous different experiences, but their best in our humble opinion is the Montserrat & Wine tour (as per above), where you get to spend an entire morning at Catalonia’s sensational Montserrat mountain… before commencing your more Epicurean journey into the world of Bacchic pleasures at a boutique vineyard. They are currently offering all their tours via Get Your Guide, including private experiences for those who prefer the luxury of a private tour. www.getyourguide.com/castlexperience

Frequently Asked Questions
We’ll wrap up this post with the answers to some of your FAQs… if you have an unanswered grape-related question please put it in the comments section and we’ll do our best to help!
Does Barcelona have vineyards?
Yes, there is one small vineyard within Barcelona's city limits, called Can Calopa. Meanwhile, the DO Alella wine region is just 20 minutes away by train, and the Cava-producing wine region of the Penedes is less than an hour away. In total Catalonia has 12 denominación de origen wine regions that can be reached from Barcelona.
Is Barcelona known for wine?
Barcelona is well-known by wine lovers for its proximity to Catalonia's 12 denominación de origen wine regions, including the Penedes region - famous for its sparkling Cava wines, and the Priorat region. Priorat is one of only two denominación de origen calificada regions in the whole of Spain (the other being Rioja), and is famous for its quality red wines.
What is the best wine tasting tour in Barcelona?
That depends on your needs and budget. The very best experience is our private wine tour to the Priorat region with hotel pick up by our Catalan sommelier guide, however there are at least a dozen excellent wine activities to choose from, such as the Create Your Own Cava experience, the Montserrat & Wine day trip and the E-bike, Wine and Sailing Tour.
Are wine tastings expensive?
The cost of a wine tasting is dependent on many factors, such as the amount and quality of the wines, the provision of transport, the experience of the sommelier leading the tasting, and what other resources are required to make the tour happen. Like all tours, the value for money is best calculated by the richness of the experience, not simply by what you consumed, which you can always do more economically by simply buying wine from the supermarket, store or vineyard.
How many wine regions are in Catalonia?
Catalonia has a total of 12 denominación de origen wine regions (Spain has 138), one of which enjoys denominación de origen calificada status - namely the Priorat region (the only other in Spain is Rioja).

What to Bring on Your Wine Tour in Barcelona
Here are my favorite things to carry when it comes to traveling around Barcelona!
BEST BELT BAG FOR BARCELONA
I’m all about style , practicality, and affordability . Pickpockets can be a real problem in Barcelona, so keeping your belongings secured in front of you is super important.
Don’t just take it from me – this belt back has high ratings and comes in EVERY color. Grab a few to match every outfit, if you want!
LIGHTWEIGHT SUNSCREEN
Because just like the Caribbean , the sun hits different in Barcelona! Protect your skin. And if you’re traveling carry-on only, remember that Europe (specifically London ) has pesky liquid requirements to keep in mind.
WHITE SNEAKERS
Do yourself a favor – don’t show up to Barcelona without some cute white sneakers. Leave the heels at home. Walking around Barcelona isn’t for the faint of heart. Keep your feet happy and go for stylish comfort.
SIM cards can be a nightmare, I get it. Airalo makes it easy to add a SIM card right to your phone – one less thing you have to worry about when you get to Europe. You can purchase a card for Spain, Europe, or Global.
Just make sure your phone is compatible before you buy! You can check in the settings of your phone.
Where to stay in Barcelona
There are many places to stay in Barcelona, but these are a few of my favorites. For first timers, try out Gothic Quarter. It’s centrally located near the beach, transit, and nightlife.
For beach lovers, visit Barceloneta and stay in a hotel or rental right on the beach. Gracia, El Born, and El Poblenou are all popular places to stay as well. It really depends what kind of Barcelona vacation you want.
One of the most popular ways to travel in Europe! If you’re backpacking or just searching for a great budget stay, hostels are the way to go.
There are TONS of top-rated hostels in Barcelona. Hostelworld.com is my go-to for finding hostels in Barcelona, Spain, and Europe.
Best places to stay
For beach lovers, visit Barceloneta and stay in a hotel or rental right on the beach. Gracia, El Born, and El Poblenou are all popular places to stay as well – all close to top attractions like Gaudi’s houses and Sagrada Familia. It really depends what kind of Barcelona vacation you want.
Best Hotels in Gothic Quarter:
- Catalonia Catedral ⭐ 9.0/10 | Wonderful
- Duquesa Suites Barcelona ⭐ 8.7/10 | Excellent!
- Elegant Apartment in Gothic ⭐ 5/5 | Exceptional!
Best Hotels in El Born
- Mercer Hotel Barcelona 9.3/10 | Wonderful

Barcelona Wine Tours FAQ
Now that you have the best wine tours and tastings in Barcelona to choose from, here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Barcelona is a great place for wine! Spanish and Catalan culture take their wine very seriously. You’ll find a variety of organic wineries, many family-owned, and some with an old and rich history, all around Barcelona. Along with wine, you’ll also find the ever-so-popular cava, a sparkling wine from the region.
There is one winery in Barcelona called Can Calopa. But, just a short ride outside of the city you’ll find the historic Alella wine region and Penedes wine region. If you’re looking for great wine during your stay in Barcelona, you’ll want to visit these two regions!
There are two very popular wine regions in Barcelona – Alella Wine Region and Penedes Wine Region, both located a short drive, train ride, or even boat away from Barcelon!
Spring and fall are the best times for a wine tour. With the mild weather, you can enjoy outdoor tours, picnics, and vineyard events while tasting some of the freshest wines available!
You could wear jeans to a wine tour, but you’ll fit in better in something dressier. You should opt for a light spring dress or khaki pants. If it’s a chillier time a year, throw on a nice jacket to beat the breeze.
Shorts can be the perfect choice for a night of exploring the city’s pulsing nightlife in the hot summer. But don’t just throw on any old pair of shorts – you’ll want to dress them up a bit to fit in with the crowd. Opt for a nicer pair of shorts. With the right look, you’ll fit right in at the clubs and bars.
Barcelona is known for its Penedes region wines, a popular wine in Catalan culture. You’ll also see many “riojas” (red wine) and cavas (sparkling wine).
The Penedès wine region will take about 1-2 hours by car or train to get to from Barcelona. Montserrat will take an hour by car. Alella is the closest and will take just 20 minutes by car or 45 minutes by train.
Final Thoughts Best Barcelona Wine Tours and Tastings
No matter which Barcelona wine tour and tasting you choose, with a certified sommelier or local wine and history expert, you will be guided through an unforgettable experience.
You’ll leave these tours with a wealth of knowledge of the region’s wines, traditions, and maybe even some delicious new favorite foods!
The history and culture lessons woven into many tastings provide an immersive journey into Barcelona’s past. You can’t go wrong choosing one of these outstanding options.

Taking a wine tour of Barcelona is also a chance to discover the secret behind every bottle, and the labour of love that makes each sip worthwhile.
A little spoiler – the Penedes Wine + Cava Tour won out for is authenticity, length, and price.
That said, let’s break down some other top-rated wine tours from Barcelona.
Best Barcelona Wine Tours & Winery Excursions
When you think of Barcelona, the mind instantly conjures images of the Gothic Quarter , Sagrada Familia , and some of the city’s best beaches .
Yet, most visitors are unaware that one of its most treasured offerings lies in the wine tours just outside the city – exploring the world of Catalan wine.
Here’s a preview of what you’ll sample on top wine tours of Barcelona:

Your adventure will also feature a sumptuous three-course lunch at the lauded Clos Figueres winery. Here, the region’s culinary finesse comes to life in a feast of Catalan specialties flawlessly paired with their extraordinary wines.

It’s neither too time-consuming nor too costly, making it a great option for younger travellers or more casual wine drinkers .

This monestery is dating back to the 11th centry, and is still a working monastery with almost 100 monks and even a boys school. The location of this place is no less that spectacular! I will also take you to a small family owned winery where you can see how those sparkling bubbles from cava are made.
Some fun and interesting Wine & Cava facts. If you come with me on a tour, I will tell you many more!
Did you know that you need about 1 kilo / 2,2 pounds of grapes to make 1 bottle of wine.
Did you know that the vintages 1978, 1983, 2000, 2006, 2007 and 2008 are considered as exceptionally good vintages for Cava? So if you see any of these, take the opportunity to try one.
Did you know that you can make white wine from red and blue grapes?
Did you know that more than 90% of all wine produced world wide is made to taste its best right away. Less than 10% is made to taste better after 5 years. Less than 1% is made to taste better after 10 years.
Interesting, right!
Did you know that wine aged in oak barrels often have an aroma of vanilla and coconut? The newer the barrels, the more flavor it will give to the wine. Many Spanish wines are aged in oak barrels.
What some people say about my tours
Best tour ever.
We arrived in Barcelona 1 days before a Med cruise and had booked a tapas & wine tour. Our guide was excellent, knowledgeable, and courteous. The information she gave about all the different kinds of tapas was very interesting. I couldn't recommend this company enough. The whole process from booking the tour through our guide meeting us was terrific.
-Leha and Steve-
Highly recommend this tour
I arrived early morning in Barcelona from an overnight flight from the States. I was met by a very cheery guide who brought me to her nice and new SUV with a lot of space for my luggage. I couldn't think of a better way to leave the airport and set off to see the two wineries I had booked. Since I traveled alone, it was great to meet a Helene that really made me feel like I was her friend. I could only say good things about this tour, and the perfect way to start in Barcelona!
We were 8 people who went to Barcelona to celebrate my sister's 50th birthday. We wanted to do something special, so we decided to go on a wine trip. I had been recommended Wine Tours Barcelona by a colleague, so we contacted Helene who then set up a plan for us. She arranged both visits to vineyards, dinners and last night we had wine tasting in Barcelona. Wonderful experience and everything went smoothly. Can definitely recommend this company. -Marianne-
Great tour!
Thanks to Wine Tours Barcelona and our guide Helene who was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. My wife and I had a wonderful tour out to a small and charming winery where we could pare wine with cheese. Fun experience, just wish they could serve some more cheese. I love cheese! Helene was most patient and even recommended a nice place for dinner at a seaport restaurant. We would endorse using Wine Tours Barcelona to make your visit memorable.
-Solveig and Thomas -
We want to come back!
When I was going to Barcelona for a wine tour , I was in doubt which wine operator I should choose. I chose Wine Tours Barcelona and have not regret it. The tour guide had great knowledge of the wine, grapes and vineyards they came from. Absolute a winetour operator I can recommend.
-Melissa and Peter-

In fact, the original home of founder Pedro Ferrer Bosch is still on the vineyard named “La Freixenada”. This winery reflects a genuine passion, spontaneity, and a touch of that Mediterranean spirit.
Penedes, known for its cava, has a rich wine-making history. It’s characterized by its rolling hills and is shielded from harsh winds, thanks to the Garraf Massif and the Montserrat Mountain.
Its unique chalky soil and ample sunlight play a part in producing quality grapes. In particular, sing local Penedès grapes gives their wine a distinct and genuine taste.
When it comes to making wine, Freixenet uses the traditional method, which means the wine undergoes a double fermentation process. From there, these bottles mature in an extensive 54km network of caves beneath the winery.
3. Pares Balta
Just 30 km from the Mediterranean coast and Barcelona, Pares Balta sits in the Penedès wine region. It’s a family affair dating back to 1790, and they’re all about creating wines and cava that truly express their land.

The name “Bouquet d’Alella” is actually a play on words of the family estate “Can Boquet” and the French term for the aromas a wine gives off. They’re committed to producing top-notch organic wines and are just a short 15 km away from Barcelona, making it a convenient escape from the city.
In particular, they’re all about sharing their love for wine and the unique surroundings they’re in.

This place is soaked in the stories of 150 wine-growers, who’ve been part of this story for a while now. Located in the historical region of Gandesa, you’re surrounded by vines and olive groves, not to mention the protection provided by the nearby mountains.
(And they also deal in top-quality olive oil and almonds, just in case you were wondering!)
Celler Cooperatiu Gandesa has a rich history, founded over a century ago by 48 families. With its foundation back in 1919, the architecture is a nod to the famous Antoni Gaudi from Barcelona, designed by the equally remarkable Cèsar Martinell.
Today, people sometimes call it the wine Cathedral – a testament to its significance in the wine world. They’re always upping their game by blending the old with the new, incorporating fresh tech and viticulture practices.
The terroir here is pretty special, with about 317 hectares of vineyards, both young and old. They’re serious about their grape varieties: Macabeo, White and Black Grenache, Carignan, Morenillo, and Hairy Grenache, to name a few.
But hey, they haven’t forgotten about the international fans with Syrah, Tempranillo, and Cabernet Sauvignon also in the mix. And if you’re into olive oils, they’re growing Empeltre and Arbequina varieties in a way that Mother Nature would give a thumbs up to.
8. Celler Menescal
Celler Menescal is a family winery in the Bot region of Terra Alta that’s steeped in history. With roots tracing back to the 19th century, it’s one of the longest-standing wineries around.

9. Terra Remota
Terra Remota , in the Empordà region, is about dreams, hard work, and the magic of the land. The first taste of their organic wine and you’re off on a trip – dreaming of far-off places and new adventures. The vineyards? They’re like stepping into another realm.
The backstory here is just as intriguing. Founded in 1999 by the Bournazeau Florena Family, the location between Capmany and Sant Climent Sescebest is a serene oasis.
And, if history’s your thing, you’ll be interested to know that the land was once home to ancient Iberian communities, making you feel even more connected to the past. The symbols in their logo pay homage to these ancient inhabitants.
Three key concepts drive Terra Remota: quality, respect for the raw stuff, and identity. Because of this, their approach to winemaking is as hands-off as possible to let nature do its thing.
Their vineyards are spread over 54 hectares with an eco-friendly label stamped in 2012. Not to mention that all the harvesting is done by hand, so every bottle is packed with care and passion.
10. Buil&Giné
Buil&Giné in Priorat is a winery with a story that goes all the way back to Roman times with the Ancient Romans having cultivated this very same land for wine production. Fast-forward to today, and you’ve got at least six generations of the family still hard at work, perfecting the art of winemaking, and they’re proud to call themselves farmers.
The knowledge has been passed down and enriched with every generation, making their wines a testament to tradition and dedication.
At Buil&Giné, they believe that the magic begins in the vineyard. The land, the light, the rain, and all the little elements come together to give the vines their unique character.
This essence is then carefully bottled up, resulting in wines that aren’t just delicious but have a story to tell. From passionate winegrowers to the very soul of the region, it’s all there in each bottle.
Being situated in Priorat isn’t just about location. This region, with its distinctive llicorella soils, adds a distinct character to the wines. Overall, it’s like having a little bit of history, culture, and Mediterranean soul in every sip.
11. Bodegas Torre Del Veguer
Bodegas Torre Del Veguer isn’t just a winery – it’s like a living museum in Sant Pere de Ribes. The cornerstone of this place is a fortified farmhouse tower that dates all the way back to 1359.
Add to that the fact that this building is now a historically listed one, and you’re basically sipping wines in a piece of Spanish history.
Their wines are more than just good, with the team at Bodegas Torre Del Veguer aiming for excellence at every stage of the winemaking process. And their efforts haven’t gone unnoticed over the centuries – they’ve got a Gold Medal from the Universal Exhibition in Barcelona in 1888 to prove it.
Their diverse range of grape varieties, which have been organically grown since 2016, only adds to the uniqueness of their wines. Plus, the setting is like something out of a postcard.
Between the historic buildings and the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea, you’re in for an experience that’s as much about the ambiance as it is about the wine.
12. Celler Jordi Lluch
Right smack in the middle of Alt Penedès, you’ll find the Celler Jordi Lluch Winery . It’s here, in the DO Penedès region, that 25 hectares of vineyards are meticulously cared for, producing some truly fine grapes.
And if you’re one for scenic views, I promise that the surrounding countryside won’t disappoint.
Having been around since 1984, this winery has seen its fair share of evolution. From focusing on bulk wines to bottling, and then moving to produce high-quality Cava in 2003, it’s been a fascinating journey.
Through it all though, the respect for tradition and age-old winemaking practices has remained. At the same time, you’re in for a treat when it comes to variety.
From Tempranillo to Xarel-Lo, there’s a grape for every palate. And with manual harvesting and selective fermentation, you know you’re getting the cream of the crop.

Celler Martin Faixo in the Empordà region tells a beautiful tale of passion and commitment. This family-run winery saw a rebirth in 2000, inspired by generations past, and in the stunning backdrop of Parc Natural de Cap de Creus, they breathed new life into old traditions.
2007 marked the year their first wines were introduced to the world, and they haven’t looked back since. Both sides of the family, Faixó and Martín, brought their unique strengths together; with one specializing in grape tree cultivation and the other in the hospitality sector.
Today, the family boasts a cultivation area of 16 hectares, nurturing a blend of wine varieties, including Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Picapoll, and Mouscat of Alexandria.
And if you’re thinking of pairing your wine with some good food, the winery’s Enoteca MF restaurant won’t disappoint. Offering modern culinary delights, with a nod to regional recipes, you can sip their exquisite wines or handmade beer while soaking in the mesmerizing view of Cadaqués’ old town.
14. La Vinyeta
La Vinyeta is located in the scenic Mollet de Peralada of Spain’s Emporda region and is a testament to how tradition can harmoniously coexist with the present. Their holistic approach sees their vineyards sharing space with livestock and olive trees, where chickens munch on leftover grapes and sheep wander about, adding their bit to the ecosystem.
It’s an authentic Mediterranean experience where wine isn’t just a product but a lifestyle, intertwined with honey, eggs, olive oil, and cheese.
The natural bounty of the Emporda region aids the growth of grape varieties like Garnatxa, Carinyan, Moscat, and Macabeu. La Vinyeta takes pride in its organic philosophy, ensuring their wines carry the essence of nature and maintain the health of the surrounding environment.

Imagine stepping into a 15th-century establishment in the Penedès region, with a history echoing tales of the Bronze Age, Iberian reigns, Roman fortifications, and medieval marvels. That’s the charm of Masia Torreblanca for you.
This Renaissance masterpiece has been meticulously restored and now stands as the abode of Viña Torreblanca society, a testament to the timeless allure of wines and cavas of unparalleled quality.
Strategically located in Alt Penedès, the winery’s vineyards bask in the climatic gifts of the Mediterranean Sea to the east and are sheltered by the mountains on the west.

17. Giró Del Gorner
If you’ve got a thing for family history and wine, then Giró del Gorner is your go-to spot. This winery isn’t just in the heart of Penedes near Barcelona, it’s a literal representation of centuries of winemaking tradition.
I’m talking roots that trace back to 1887. Gabriel Giró I Via, Jr, the current torchbearer of this family legacy, is fiercely dedicated to maintaining the traditions passed down through generations.
Giró del Gorner isn’t just about traditions – it’s also about producing some of the finest wines and cavas in the region. Their vineyards stretch over a whopping 48 hectares, split into 29 unique plots.
The variety of grapes they cultivate, like Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, is seriously impressive. Over time, while they’ve made upgrades to their cellars and wine-making techniques, the essence of their wine remains deeply rooted in tradition.
18. Vinyes Del Terrer
If you’re yearning for a family-run winery experience by the Mediterranean, Vinyes Del Terrer is calling your name. Located in Vila-Seca, close to Tarragona, this winery began its journey back in 1989.
The family’s aim was simple yet profound: to harness the unique Mediterranean terroir they had in their backyard. Being a stone’s throw (just 2 km) from the sea, the winery benefits from its cooling breezes.
The distinctive lumaquela soil adds a mineral-rich palate to their wines, creating offerings that are both refreshing and deeply flavorful.
But it’s not just about the location or the soil – it’s about the care and love poured into each vine. Across their nine vineyards, which by the way, are only 20 meters above sea level, they follow sustainable practices.
You won’t find any chemical fertilizers or pesticides here. Instead, you’ll find Grenache, Macabeo, Sauvignon Blanc, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes flourishing.
And with their ecological certification from CCPAE, they’re not just saying they’re green; they’re proving it.
Production wise, Vinyes Del Terrer isn’t trying to flood the market. With an annual output of around 60,000 bottles, they focus on quality over quantity.
Their wines, blending tradition and innovation, have found fans both locally and across the globe. So, if you’re looking for wines with character, heart, and a touch of the Mediterranean, you know where to head.
19. Casa Vermouth Padró
Now, let’s take a bit of a time travel to Tarragona, to a place that’s been familiar with wines since 1776: Casa Vermouth Padró . It’s more than just your average winery; it’s an institution teeming with stories of wines sold from carts.
Every corner whispers tales of winemaking through the centuries, the hardships, the ups and downs, and oh boy, those ever-changing times.
Fast forward to today – five generations later – and the legacy is still going strong. Each generation has passionately led the winery, passing down the age-old winemaking skills, knowledge, and of course, those little family secrets that make their wines so special.
And that includes that Casa Vermouth Padró offers something a tad bit unique: wines infused with aromatic herbs. These wines aren’t just aged to perfection; they’re concocted into some really cool cocktails too.
20. Perinet
Heading deeper into Catalonia, let’s mosey on down to the valley of Priorat, where the Perinet Winery awaits. This estate is surrounded by some seriously beautiful vineyards and offers a unique panorama of the region.
Established back in 2002, this winery isn’t stuck in the past. It’s decked out with state-of-the-art technology, and they’ve got the works, including separate rooms for fermentation, bottling, and aging.
The real magic, though, is thanks to Antoni Sánchez-Ortiz, or Toni as his friends call him. Born in the Pyrenees and armed with expertise from the University of Tarragon and Victor Segalen, he’s the brain and heart behind the wine magic at Perinet.
Toni’s not just about the books – he’s all in with his passion, experience, and well, a sheer willingness to excel.
Now, here’s a tidbit for all you wine connoisseurs: Perinet’s estate plots spread across three distinct regions in Priorat. This means three different micro-climates, each perfect for grape cultivation.
So, whether you’re a fan of Grenache, Carignan, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, or Merlot, Perinet’s got you covered.
21. Masetplana
On to Empordà, and here we have Masetplana , a name that resonates with seven generations of wine legacy in Catalonia. They’ve been in the game since 1816, deeply connected to Garriguella and its picturesque vineyards and olive groves.
The past three generations have passionately led the olive oil mill, and they’ve brought a fresh twist to their wine identity. Their wines? They’re like a canvas of the family’s history, an eclectic blend of tradition, local flavor, and of course, a generous splash of Empordà character.
What’s interesting is their experimentation. Ever heard of Malbec in this part of the world? Masetplana introduced it, and guess what? It decided to stay.
Their 2005 harvest was pretty memorable, marking the start of their bottled legacy. And those original blends are still around, standing strong amidst evolving tastes.
And no one’s resting on their laurels around here. For example, the seventh generation of owners actually produced their own line of wines. Specifically, they introduced the A21 series – a white, a rosé, and a red.
Following these were “El nen de Can Maset” and “M’acabeu la paciència,” wines that aren’t just drinks but narratives. In essence, with Masetplana, you’re sipping on bottles full of history, personality, and the pure spirit of Empordà.
22. Can Calopa De Dalt
Can Calopa De Dalt in the Costers del Segre region is perched in a rural section of Barcelona. Specifically, this winery finds its home on the Serra de Collserola Mountain Range’s western slope.
A tad unique, it boasts the Vinyes de Barcelona, which, believe it or not, is the only wine produced right in the city of Barcelona. The wines here are a part of a larger project, initiated by Barcelona City Council and now managed by L’Olivera Cooperativa since 2010.
But what makes this initiative so special? Well, it’s aimed at reviving the city’s winemaking tradition while supporting innovative farming.
Besides crafting some fine wines, Can Calopa De Dalt is dedicated to social inclusion and eco-friendly practices. And here’s the cherry on top: a team of young folks, undergoing training and vocational integration, are behind the scenes working the estate and crafting that lovely city-made wine.
If you’re thinking of varieties, they’ve got you covered. Their estate, blessed with the right amount of rain and those crisp cool nights, spans across three hectares.
Here, they’re cultivating Grenache and Syrah grapes. And when you swing by their wine bar, don’t miss the wines from Vallbona de les Monges, which include organic Grenache, Chardonnay, and a few others.
From red to sparkling, Can Calopa de Dalt’s got a wine for every palate.
23. Recaredo
Let’s now head to the Penedès wine region to explore Recaredo . Situated amidst vineyards and woodlands, this family-run winery takes pride in its sparkling wines aged with cork stoppers for over 30 months.
This unique technique preserves those fresh herbal aromas we all love. Plus, their commitment to organic methods led them to produce the Can Credo, a smooth still white wine.
Back in 1924, Josep Mata Capellades built a tiny cellar beneath his home in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia and named it Recaredo. Through years of growth, commitment, and the involvement of successive generations, the winery has introduced innovative techniques while preserving age-old traditions.
And if accolades matter to you, in 2017, the Association of Sommeliers tagged them as Catalonia’s Best Winery.
Oh, and did I mention they’ve been into biodynamic practices since 2006? Specializing in traditional Penedès varieties, with Xarel·lo leading the pack, Recaredo crafts sparkling wines that scream gastronomic delight.
Basically, if you’re a fan of organic viticulture with a respect for nature and traditions, you won’t be disappointed here.
24. Cooperativa Falset-Marçà
Cooperativa Falset-Marçà , with a winemaking history spanning over a century, stands as a testament to the fusion of two iconic cooperatives – Falset and Marçà. Sitting atop a hill in the Falset region of Tarragona, this cooperative is a powerhouse, exporting its wines, vermouth, and olive oil to nearly 30 countries worldwide.
A bit of a throwback; while Cooperativa Marçà came into existence in 1912, Falset followed in 1917. The merger in 1999 aimed at enhancing wine and olive oil production.
Since then, with over 500 members and roughly 250 hectares of vineyards, they’ve continually focused on quality. And they aren’t shy about embracing modern technology, as evidenced by their switch to stainless steel tanks and a revamped barrel room.
When it comes to grapes, they’ve got quite the assortment. With red varieties like Garnacha and Samsó, and whites such as Garnacha Blanca, this cooperative is in its element.
If you feel like visiting them, you’ll get to uncover the charm of their historic cellar, built by Cesar Martinelli, which stands as an emblem of early 20th-century rural Catalonia.
25. Bell Cros
Lastly, let’s swing by Montsant to the Swedish-owned Bell Cros . Founded by entrepreneurs Peter and Ann Skoglund, their goal is clear: present DO Montsant wines to the world.
With a blend of age-old traditions and a futuristic vision, they’ve crafted a team, led by renowned winemaker Joan Asens, that resonates with joy, pride, and an in-depth knowledge of winemaking.
