Penedès wine and cava trail

 

Catalonia is one of Spain's top wine producing areas, boasting 11 appellations of origin. Vines have been grown here for more than 2,000 years so the locals definitely know a thing or two about wine. In this tour of the Penedès region, you will visit three wineries that showcase the best the area has to offer. Learn all about traditional and modern methods of producing wines and cava, finding out about the different varieties and then tasting them.

The tour takes you to three wineries: Freixenet, the world-famous producer of cava sparkling wine, Bodegas Torres and Bodegas Jean Leon. You will taste at least two wines in each winery so prepare for an enological extravaganza that will delight your palate. There will be also a stop for lunch (not included) where you can choose from a selection of excellent local restaurants.

At Freixenet you'll learn all about the cava-making process and tour the deep underground cellars. You'll also have a chance to sample two of this classic winery's many varieties, which range from bruts to cuvées de prestige, together with some traditional Catalan hors d’oeuvre.

Next stop is a guided tour of the Jean Leon winery, where a combination of traditional methods and cutting edge technology produce high expression wines. Here you will try two wines.

The final stop is the Torres winery just outside the picturesque medieval town of Vilafranca del Penedès. Enjoy a guided tour of these historic cellars before savouring three wines paired with local cheeses.
