The iconic Montserrat mountain is surrounded by two major wine regions. To the north lies DO Pla de Bages, and to the south, DO Penedès stretches from the mountains to the coast. Both regions are rich in history, stunning landscapes, and charming country houses that have operated as wineries for decades (even centuries). This land has been home to vineyards since Roman times, over 2,000 years ago.
You'll visit a traditional, family-owned winery where your guide will share stories about the region and the family’s history. You’ll discover how the local climate and soil shape the grapes and the distinct qualities of the wines they produce.
After hearing these fascinating stories, you'll enjoy a tasting of four exclusive high-end organic products, featuring premium sparkling and/or still wines that reflect the unique character of the region. These wines will be perfectly paired with traditional tapas, offering you a true taste of the local culture.
Return to the city after this enjoyable experience, surrounded by beautiful scenery and local history. This day offers a blend of culture, landscapes, and local wines for a memorable experience.
