What To Expect

Greet your guide in a central Barcelona location, and climb aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan for the scenic drive into the heart of the Penedés region. Listen as your professional guide provides the historical and geological context of the area and then arrive at your first stop, a traditional cava production house.

Tour the winery with a knowledgeable staff member, and descend into the underground cellars where the first bottle of cava was produced 150 years ago. Hear about technological innovations that have transformed production processes, and then sample some of the winery’s emblematic varieties at the end of your enriching tour.

Next, head to a small, family-run winery that prides itself on its artisan cava-making process. Enrich your knowledge of alternative manufacturing methods, and then sample a delicate cava considered one of the best in Spain. Revitalize with a traditional Spanish lunch in a local village (own expense), and then return to your comfortable coach for the journey to your next destination.

Arrive at an organic winery specializing in white and red wines, and embark on a guided tour of the establishment’s cellars and vineyards. Relax in the ambient bar as you pleasure your palate with a selection of refined wines and then admire the rural scenery as you travel back to Barcelona, where the tour concludes.

Rod, our tour guide was great. He shared very relevant historical, site seeing and wine facts. The day was full from start to finish. We have been to hundreds of wineries around the world. The three wineries we went to provided unique experiences and I learned something at each one. Lunch was also great.

Very relaxing day!

Kelly_B, Feb 2024

This was such a great way to spend a day! Each winery was so different and they were lined up on the schedule perfectly. It made for a much better appreciation for what they’re doing. Wine was delicious, food was yummy, and everyone was very friendly! Very relaxing day!

Great experience!

Ashlee_C, Jan 2024

Great tour, highly recommend it!

Really great wine tour, would highly recommend it! The tour took us to 3 very different wineries all were great experiences. Our tour guide was incredibly exceptional as well.

Relaxing, fun & educational experience

Roger_H, Oct 2023

Fun, friendship & education. 3 quite different wineries - one family, one larger but experimenting with climate change options and the 3rd introducing new styles through changes in techniques.Very enjoyable lunch by the vineyards with the other couple on the tour.

Fun and Entertaining Wine tasting tour

Randy_W, Sep 2023

Our tour guide and the overall group made it a fun and entertaining experience. Each Winery we stoped at had a special character and added to the overall experience. Highly recommend for learning about Wine in this region.

Knowledgeable tour

Erika_B, Aug 2023

Fun group and really amazing wineries. They shared some great knowledge of the region and were generous with the wine!

Enlightening

Matu_C, Jul 2023

Our guide was great! He knew so much about the city about history. He was very funny too. It was the food and wine tour but it was not disappointing.

A full day of great experiences

GregoryWarren_H, May 2023

Awesome wineries and Cava. Our tour guide Jordy made this one of our fondest memories of our visit. Highly recommended.

Robert_B, May 2023

This may be a duplicate review of one I submitted in response to a Trip Advisor email as I did not get a confirmation. To shorten this one, both the tour company (Explore Catalunya) and the tour guide (Jordy) were responsive, reliable, and welcoming. Jordy spoke clear English and was just awesome informing us of details of the region and the history of making Cava. Each winery was great and the restaurant for lunch was awesome which included a glass of wine. We highly recommend this tour and advise requesting Jordy for your excursion. He clearly made this trip informative, fun, and made this trip one of our fondest memories of visiting Barcelona. Hope to visit again soon. Tell Jordy the jazz cruise was awesome.

Fantastic wine tour! Our guide Sergio was amazing- friendly, knowledgeable, and really turned into one if they group! The selection of wineries was perfect- all were amazing but different so we learned a lot and never got bored. Highly recommend!

Great Way to Spend the Day in Barcelona

Mari_O, Nov 2022

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of three wineries in DO Penedes. The whole day went without a hitch. Our guide was fantastic -- he was helpful and friendly and made the day run very smoothly. The selected wineries were perfect for us to get a true sense of wine-making in the region. I highly recommend booking this experience.

Small, local wineries were a success!!

Cspankowski, Oct 2022

Enrique was an excellent tour guide! He made our small group of strangers immediately comfortable with each other and had great knowledge of all the landmarks as we left the city. The small wineries that we visited were wonderful and way more intimate than any others I've been to on larger tours. Loved it through and through!

Rodrigo, the guide was...

Kenneth_G, Apr 2022

Rodrigo, the guide was great. The three wineries were extremely enjoyable and the guides from the wineries did a great job representing both the wines and the wineries.

A Fantastic Day!

Michael_F, Feb 2022

The day started very well beung welcomed by Christel at the tour offices until our tour guide, Sergio arrived. What a very personable man who truly enjoys his work and getting to know his clients. We were four from Michigan and joined by a wondeful couple from Purto Rico. Sergio took us to his very comfortable van and we were off to the Perendes region. We visited three family run vineyards where we learned so much about their histories and challenges due to climate change as well as changes to regulations. The tastings were generous along with snacks, Sergio made a reservation for us for lunch at an excellent where we were lucky to be there at the time of the year when in-season calcots (char-grilled spring onions) were available. We learned how to eat them the Catalan-way—dipped in romesco sauce. We highly recommend this tour which takes you out of Barcelona about an hour’s distance. A bonus is to have Sergio as your tour guide.

Hello, A very big thank you from all of us at Explore. Best regards, Robert

10/10 would do it again!

Evelin_P, Jul 2021

The six of us went on tour with Rod. Both the tour itself and Rod were great - we visited three very unique wine estates and Rod also took us to a very cool place to have lunch, where we could sit right next to the vines. Throughout the tour, Rod also talked about the history and sights of Barcelona and gave recommendations for restaurants and more. Since it was only our group of 6 visiting the tour, Rod was extremely accommodating, as he was ready to pick us up from our place of stay (not from the original pick-up place). Everyone in our company confirmed that they would rate the tour 10/10 and would do it again!

Great multi-stop wine tour

Sarah_P, Jul 2021

We absolutely loved our wine tour with Rodrigo! He was very knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and funny! We got to visit 3 different wineries and tasted 3-4 generous pours of wine/cava at each stop. One of the stops had a wine/cheese board as well. After the second winery we stopped for a delicious lunch (not included in price of tour) and then went to the third winery. The drive is scenic and not too long- would 100% recommend this tour!

Fantastic Vineyard Tour

Kerstin_M, Mar 2020

My husband and I went with our friends, another couple, to the three vineyard tour. I was just the four of us and our guide, Rodrigo. He was fantastic, charming and knowledgable. The vineyards we visited were diverse and stunning each in their own way. The first was a larger, organic vineyard in a beautiful setting. The second, a biodynamic vineyard. The third, a family -owned vineyard, was very special as we got a tour from the proprietor herself. We stopped for a great lunch in a country restaurant. Fantastic day, highly recommend.

Response from Host, Mar 2020

Dear Kerstin, First of all, thank you so much for your great review. We are very happy to hear that you had a lovely day and that you enjoyed the tour. Kind regards, Ester

Feliciano, was the best guide we ever...

Robin M, Oct 2018

Feliciano, was the best guide we ever had for any of our international tours. He was super flexible, knowledgeable and friendly. There were 8 of us, all family members. A few of us had visited one of the wineries before and as soon as he heard this he was on the phone and rebook to a new winery. We highly recommend this tour and Feliciano.

This was one of the best wine tours...

Elizabeth_G, Mar 2018

This was one of the best wine tours I have experienced. First off, our guide, Feliciano, was absolutely amazing! He truly made the tour exceptional. Each winery had it's own charming aspects, it was great to see a small family operation, a large-scale winery and finish with a medium size. We truly had a wonderful experience and would recommend this tour to anyone. Thank you for Feliciano for the amazing day!
