About this tour
Explore two family-run wineries in Penedès and Pla de Bages, an hour from Barcelona, in a private Mercedes with your own guide. You'll taste up to eight wines and cavas, nibble on Catalan charcuterie and cheese, and hear directly from the winemakers about their sustainable practices. The six-hour tour includes hotel collection and drop-off, making for an unhurried afternoon among the vines without the coach-tour shuffle.

What to expect
You'll be collected from your accommodation and driven into wine country, where the landscape shifts to rolling vineyards and stone cellars. At each winery, expect a walkthrough of the production areas—barrel rooms, ageing cellars—followed by seated tastings where the owners or winemakers often join you to discuss their philosophy and specific batches. The pace is relaxed; there's no rushing between stops. A spread of local cured meats, cheeses, and breads arrives alongside the wines. Temperatures in the cellars drop noticeably, so layering is wise.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes for cellar floors. Bring a jumper or jacket—winery temperatures are cooler than Barcelona. Dietary requirements (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free) are catered for if flagged ahead. The specific wineries visited may change depending on availability, but all are small, hands-on operations. Public transport nearby if you prefer independence getting there.
