Enotourism (wine tourism) and gastronomic travel are becoming increasingly popular, especially for those who want to understand a country through its food and wine. As your private tour guide, I will take you to vineyards, show you the winemaking process, introduce you to local equipment, and of course, lead tastings.
Discover Catalonia’s Wine Traditions with a Private Guide
The fertile, sunny Mediterranean is the cradle of modern European wines. Catalonia is famous for its winemaking traditions and diverse wines, from dry to dense varieties. A special place is reserved for Cava – sparkling wines produced with the same method as French champagne. These wines hold a high position in the world of celebration and luxury. The first bottle was released here back in 1872 by Codorniu. Today, Catalonia boasts eleven wine regions with DOC status, confirming the quality of its wines.
Winery Tours in Alt-Penedès
The winery region of Alt-Penedès, located 70 km south of Barcelona, is the heart of Catalonia’s winemaking. I will guide you through world-famous wineries such as Codorniu, Torres, and Freixenet, or take you to small family-owned estates where we can explore the production process and enjoy tastings. Many bodegas were built in the early 20th century by Catalan architects in the Art Nouveau style, often called “temples of wine.” One of the most beautiful is the Codorniu building, designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch.
Gastronomy with a Private Tour Guide
Gastronomy is one of Catalonia’s greatest attractions. Good food is both pleasure and art here. I will show you restaurants ranging from Michelin-starred establishments to authentic local tapas bars where you can taste traditional Mediterranean delicacies: lobster, shrimp, oysters, sea cucumbers, crabs, pork, lamb, veal baked in clay ovens, ham, sausages, and more.
Sweet Creations and Confectionery
Confectionery here is not just delicious—it is true artistry. You will see chocolate creations that look like fine jewelry and festive cakes that amaze both the eyes and taste buds. As your private tour guide, I will take you inside these unique shops so you can experience the sweet side of Catalonia.
