Sampling wine tourism
The taste of wine is closely linked to the flavours of the landscape, its aromas and people. Explore this relationship and feel it on your palate. The counties of Barcelona are a haven for lovers of wine tourism. They are home to five Protected Designations of Origin: Penedès, Pla de Bages, Alella, Catalunya and Cava. They all offer a rich variety of wines that are surprisingly unique. Walk through the landscape, see how the land is cultivated, talk to the growers, smell the freshly harvested grapes, wander among the vines and take part in the harvest. And afterwards, close your eyes and taste the produce … Because drinking wine will never be the same after you've been on a wine tourism experience like this one.
