Private Penedès Wine and Cava Tasting Tour from Barcelona with Hotel Pickup

Penedès is one of Catalonia's main wine and cava regions. It lies between the sea and the mountains, and that mix of sun and sea air is why it ranks among the best wine-producing regions in the country after Rioja. It is also one of the oldest wine-growing areas in Europe. This private tour covers both still wine and sparkling wine. It visits two wineries, one for wine and one for cava, and each ends with a tasting. In the first, a local guide who is a winemaker walks the group through the vineyards and tells the winery's history, from vine to bottle. The walk passes the Romanesque church of San Juan Salem. The tasting is four wines with gourmet delicatessen. The second is another historic winery that specialises in cava. The visit covers the cellar, the barrel rooms and the production plant, and goes into the underground caves where the longest-aged cavas rest. It finishes with four Gran Reserva cavas and tapas.
