Where to find wine served from the barrel in Barcelona 03/01/2023

Celler Duran

Tinned fish, banderillas (a combination of olives, peppers, anchovies or other ingredients threaded onto a cocktail stick), and famous patatas bravas (potato wedges served with a spicy sauce)…, are among the tasty tapas served at the legendary Celler Duran in the Sants neighbourhood, and are the perfect accompaniment to the glasses of wine from the barrel and vermouths served with soda water and olives. We recommend you take a seat and let yourself be transported by the magic of a place under the attentive gaze of Marilyn Monroe, whose photo stands on one of

Casa Mariol

Casa Mariol is a family-run winery, founded more than a century ago, that makes wine in Batea, in the county of Terra Alta. It makes whites, reds and rosés and is also renowned for its vermouth. A few years ago, the family decided to bring their range of products to Barcelona and opened a bar where the public could sample the wine-growing landscape of this region near Tarragona. You'll find single-variety wines made from White Grenache, Carignan and Syrah grapes, sold by the bottle, or straight from the barrel. You can also enjoy the wines with a plate of tapas and snacks made from

Bodega Nadal

When you think of a time-honoured bodega, the image of a bar with shelves crammed with bottles springs to mind with rows of barrels of wine with the name of the village they come from written in chalk on the front. And this is exactly the case with the Bodega Nadal, a place in the Sants neighbourhood which gives a friendly welcome to its clients while serving them a glass of wine from the barrel accompanied by a tasty tapa or snack. If you're in the neighbourhood, we recommend you pop in at lunchtime for a glass of vermouth and a snack.

Wines by the glass, bottle or straight from the barrel, tailored to the customer's taste.
