Penedes Wine & Cava Tasting & 4WD Vineyards Tour from Barcelona

Posted By : Christine_R
Knowledgeable guides at both wineries, both were obviously very passionate about their world of wine. Spectacular scenery. Impressive buildings on each site, especially the Cava caves at the first winery. Wonderful settings and ambience of the tasting rooms. History of the wineries was very informative and interesting. Jeep experience was unique.

A highlight of our trip to Barcelona, a short journey out of the city and wow you are transported to wonderful vineyards of the Pendes region. The family owned producer offered us an insight into still and sparkling wine production and the labyrinth of caves housing many many bottles of cava. The tastings were excellent and purchases were made, an all round fabulous day.

Excellent excursion! It was a surprise for my husbands Bday. We really enjoyed everything about the tasting. The wine was excellent! The venues were absolutely beautiful. We even enjoyed the jeep tour of the vineyards. Both women were very knowledgeable, interesting and very pleasant to listen to. I would do it again!!

We visited a vineyard first, traveling in a couple Range Rovers, very comfortable, not too bumpy which took is to an area with 100-120 year old vines. Very interesting! Then to a cava cellar where we learned about the 2,000,000 bottles of cava, how it was made, stored, etc. The accompanying tapas complimented each diffwine and cava we tried. Highly recommend!

We went with a group of 5 and this was everyone’s favorite part of the trip! Ana was very educated on everything at the winery and was happy to answer questions. We got to try 7 amazing wines and explore all of the property. If you’re debating on what you should do in Barcelona this is a MUST!! Very kind family and employees

First the winery tour and wine tasting was exemplary! The family that owns the wineries were gracious and informative. They shared the knowledge of how they approach the production of first class cavas and still wines. The facilities and vineyards were beautiful. Even for a well traveled oenophile, there was much to learn. The little bites were well paired with the wines (4 cavas and 3 still wines). The issue was with the transportation. It was St Jordi's day and the downstreets of Barcelona packed. I am handicapped. The meeting point was a distance from the bus pick-up point and we rushed through the streets after our initial guide was 10 minutes late in meeting the group. THe bus took a long time to show up - no coordination, no anticipation. We arrived late to the vieyards and we missed seeing some of the operations as the vineyard tried to make up time. On the way back, one member of the group received a text telling her we would be left off on the outskirts of Barcelona. Again, a hike to the nearest Metro stop. After emails to the operator, the driver brought us directly to a Metro entrance. Luckily some of us knoew the metro system and go everybody directed to their destination. The operator provided no assistance. We heard the driver saying that he had another pick up, so we needed to be dumped off (yes, some of us speak Spanish!). We missed a late lunch reservation, but really no harm done at the end, not because of the assistance of the operator, however.

Excellent winery tour. The problem was the logistics of coming and going. The winery itself, a family owned business of over 30 years, was fascinating. The physical facilities are stunning. the guides are knowledgeable and gracious. The array of cavas (4) and still wines (3) were well chosen and really showed the breadth of the wineries offerings and the differences among various grape blends. The little bites enhanced the tasting experience. So why not 5 stars? It was St. Jordi's day, so traffic was terrible and the pick-up was late. The person checking us in was 10 minutes late which complicated matters. As a result, we were late to the winery, which caused a bit of a rush. It should have been anticipated and the pick-up point adjusted to avopid the worst of the traffic. Coming back was a worse situation. One member of the tour received a text saying that we would be let off on the outskirts of Barcelona. No other member of the tour got the email. The original revised drop off point was a hike to the nearest metro stop. Some of us complained and the driver was told to drive us to the metro stop. We could hear on the driver's phone that the change to the outskirts was to give him time to make another pick-up. No thought was given to the reservations for late lunch that many of us had and lost. No help in directions back to City center, although enough people on the tour figured it out and helped the others get home. I am an elderly handicapped individual. The time at the winery was challenging but doable. The extra "mileage". from the poor logistics, made for a tiring day.
