My husband and I had an absolutely incredible experience with Penedès Ecotours, and Thomas made the day unforgettable. He is the perfect combination of personable, passionate, and deeply knowledgeable. What really stood out was how thoughtfully he explained the philosophy and process behind no- and low-intervention wines, not in a pretentious way, but in a way that made us genuinely appreciate why these methods matter and how they shape the final product. The wineries and wines he selected were outstanding: complex, unique, expressive, and honestly some of the most memorable wines we’ve had. We enjoyed them so much that we ended up bringing several bottles home with us. Thomas created such a relaxed and engaging atmosphere that the tour felt less like a formal excursion and more like spending the day with an extremely well-informed friend who loves sharing the region and its culture. If you’re looking for a wine experience that goes beyond the standard tourist tasting and gives you a deeper appreciation for Penedès and natural winemaking, we cannot recommend this tour highly enough.
This was a lovely afternoon. Cycling through vineyards in beautiful sunshine. Great information provided by our guide Tomas and the vineyard staff. A lovely group with us made it even more fun. Of course the wines were lovely too. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.
Tomas was an amazing guide. Very patient as a member of our party learned to use an EBike. Very passionate about the region, the wines and his knowledge of the area. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. highly recommend.
Our guide was wonderful and was so informative about the wines and the processing of the wines and growing of the grapes and the soil all the wines that we tasted were fabulous!
Our guide ,Thomas, was delightful . He took us to two personally selected wineries where we learned much about the wine making experience. The pick up and drop off was easy
Our guide was such a chill, welcoming, and knowledgeable individual. This truly was one of my favourite things to do during my trip to Spain. My friend and I wanted to visit some of the smaller vineyards in Spain, to get a more authentic and local experience, and this definitely fit the bill. Both vineyards we visited are and have been family-owned for generations. We tried such unique wines, including Rose Cava. What was an unexpected and welcome surprise was the emphasis on organic and sustainable wine-making. We learned about the process of wine-making, the shortcomings of mass production, and what these generational vineyards have to offer. Also — the wine was SO cheap! Wish I got another bottle. Also, the e-bikes were super easy to ride and fun. 10/10 recommend. :)
It was a wonderful day riding a bike in the vineyards, enjoying the wind, sun and scenery, with professional guide Thomas. It's much better that he drives and gets off only when he gets to the hold. The day flies by, I want more!!!
My husband and I traveled to Spain on our honeymoon. Both of us agree that our favorite part was the day we spent biking around the Penedes wine region with Thomas. The region is absolutely beautiful and not at all touristy. Thomas was an excellent guide, conversationalist, and educator, and it was fascinating to learn about the history of wine in the region, as well as some of the techniques used to grow and harvest the grapes. The wineries we visited were also beautiful and the wine was fantastic, unique, and economical- we ended up ordering 3 cases from one of the wineries! Thank you Thomas and Penedes EcoTours for a wonderful day!
Totally recommend that way of exploring new places! Penedes Ecotours is the business idea which combine passion for wines, curiosity about the world and people and appreciating charm of surrounding of Barcelona. I'm totally in love 😍 Hope to have possibility to repeat this experience! Ps. Thomas, thanks for sharing knowledge with us! It was totally awesome. Br Joanna
My friend and I had a great day thanks to our lovely guide Thomas. He may look a little sleepy but was in fact very pleasant, witty and tolerant. The bike tour was also very enjoyable without any difficulty. I was worried about drunk and ride a bit but Thomas didn't let that happen. He was really passionate and knowledgeable about the wine industry, and also had many connections, which made the tour an exceptional experience. We loved his selection of wines and cava, really tasty and unique! I can't recommend more.
