Montserrat, Tapas & Wine | Private Tour |
Description
This can be shaped in either a half day private wine tour or a full day one. As usual in our private tours, join your English-speaking local tour guide for a ride out of Barcelona at any point of your convenience. If not arranged differently, we will first set route to the Colònia Güell, a modernist industrial colony where Gaudí was hired to build a church. He only got to build the crypt and the lower parts before the project was cancelled, but what remains makes up for one of his masterpieces, and a very little visited one. Your guide will tell you everything you need to know on this Gaudí private tour while you walk the streets of this old industrial colony, where people still lives nowadays, amongst modernist buildings designed by the greatest architects of that period.
After this off the beaten track dose of modernist architecture please allow us to add our personal touch to your private tour. This Gaudí unknown gem lies at the gates of a highly recognised wine making region, the Do Penedès, where almost all the Catalan cava is produced. Characteristically close to our Mediterranean sea, this region is filled with small production focused, family owned wineries. Our local guides are experts in the history of wine production in Penedès and will tell you everything there is to know about the characteristics of this particular region and the kind of wine and cava produced in it.
Depending on your choice, you will visit one or two of the intimate and exclusive wineries we are partnered with, making it a half day or a full day. We can also personalize the lunch format, choosing either to pair some traditional Spanish tapas with the best cavas in the region or sitting at a local restaurant to have a full meal. We will pick the cellars that best meet your needs, always prioritizing those with inspiring background and history to tell. In some of the wineries we feel so much at home that it will be your very guide who will take you through the facilities and unveil all the secrets privately, while in others a local expert will take charge of hosting you. Of course, you will enjoy a private tasting of their most exclusive wines and/or cava (tell us which you prefer!) in any of the wineries we take you to.
How to tailor this tour?
Add another winery? The standard version of this tour takes you to one cava winery, but you can add a second one!
Would you rather enjoy a full meal instead of a tapas lunch? If you have some extra time to invest on a restaurant, we can arrange a traditional Catalan full meal with wine in the surroundings of the winery. Select the Lunch Option when booking!
