Penedès wines and Cavas

As we head down the mountain, we will set our sights on the lands of the DO Penedès, a territory with an ancient wine tradition based in the vineyards between Montserrat and the Mediterranean Sea. It is a pleasure to drive along the roads of this region of famous wines and Cavas, through a landscape of vineyards that sometime resemble a garden. Wine tourism is well established in Penedès, which offers an attractive range of wine tastings and experiences in many of its wineries. For the best panoramic views, we will take the Miravinya Route, which takes us past five viewpoints overlooking the vast vineyards and characteristic dry-stone buildings. In Sant Sadurní d’Anoia we will visit the Cava Interpretation Centre, located in an ancient distillery. This modern centre offers a wide range of information about the region’s offerings and the various festivals held with Cava as their central theme. An essential visit to discover the history of this terroir. Vilafranca del Penedès features one of the greatest associations of Castellers in Catalonia. To get closer to the culture of the “human towers” or castells we will participate in an interesting activity that involves visiting two locations: a wine cellar and a live rehearsal, with the option of participating in the construction of these great human towers. On the coast, it is worth stopping at Sitges, one of the most elegant towns on the Catalan coast.
