Wine tourism in El Priorat

The county of El Priorat offers an infinite number of ways to discover D.O. Montsant and D.O.C. Priorat wines, including some quirky options such as a winery tour with riddles or the traditional grape harvest, where the grapes are trodden like in the olden days. We’ll book a dramatised tour at the Falset cooperative, where a fictional worker will provide a humorous explanation of the wine-making process. The villages of El Priorat, this small county of heroic viticulture, are linked by some of the most scenic roads in Catalonia, lined with terraced vineyards. One of these roads leads to the Carthusian monastery of Escaladei, which was inhabited until the mid-19th century. The presence of the monks was key to the rise of vine growing in the area.
