Itinerary
9:00am - You will start your day at our office located right across from the famous Palau de la Musica. Meet your guide and listen to what the day has in store.
10:30am - Our first winery is an absolute treat. You will be shown around the winery by the owner herself, making you feel as if you're an old friend or one of the family. She will explain all about her family's dedication to wine making, and you'll try a number of their best wines. But what makes this visit so unforgettable is the stunning sight of Montserrat serving as a backdrop to the endless views the vineyards. This is a real, family owned winery. Don't be surprised to meet other members of the family as they wander around their family home. It's an absolute privilege to visit here.
12.00pm - The second winery of the day is another small family owned winery where you'll again be shown around by the owners. This is such an intimate visit, and it a real treat to stand in their underground cellars that they literally carved out themselves. You will enjoy a really personal wine tasting here, as the owner's wife lets you try a variety of wines, depending on what you prefer most.
2.00pm - After two special wineries, we will take you to a farmhouse style restaurant for a traditional local lunch. There is a variety of typical dishes to choose from. But what stands out for most people is the location of the restaurant - it's right in the middle of the vineyards!
3.30pm - Our final winery of the day is another family owned winery. The grapes here are not just grown organically, they also follow a bio-dynamic philosophy of wine making. You'll learn all about this innovative approach as you walk in the vineyards, discover their underground cellars, and enjoy a very substantial wine tasting, followed by an olive oil tasting.
6.30pm - We will leave our last winery, arriving back in Barcelona about 6.30pm

We really enjoyed our day. Nuria was a fantastic guide. It was a very fun day out with a good variety of vineyard experiences.
Great experience. Very good guide who is experienced and extremely knowledgeable and provided a fun and enjoyable day. Recommend.
DO NOT BOOK THIS. We arrived promptly at our departure time and were casually told the tour had been cancelled. They had no explanation why we weren’t notified. There were no other activities available so we had an entire day wasted.
It was very intimate and we learned a lot. It was also very fun. Nuria and Alexandro were awesome. Highly recommend
Nouria, our guide, and Alejandro, our driver, were excellent! Informative and so friendly. Took us to great wineries, where our hosts couldn’t have been nicer! Lunch was delicious! Perfect day! Highly recommend!
⛰️It was better than I imagined! It was disappointing that the winery had so little time. But CAVA, the best wine I've ever had.
