This tour visits the Penedes, Catalonia's premier wine producing region located along the coastline south of Barcelona. You visit a bodega, or winery, for a tour and wine tasting.
After meeting your private guide you drive along Barcelona's marine front before departing the city for Pacs del Penedes. The hot, dry Mediterranean climate makes this an ideal grape growing region.
Your tour visits the Torres wine cellar, or bodega, where you will learn about a winemaking tradition in this region dating back to Roman times. The Torres family itself has been growing grapes in Penedes since the 16th century, and founded their winery in 1870. Starting your tour in the visitor center you watch a short film which covers the history of the winery from planting through harvest and fermentation.
In the "Tunnel of the Seasons" you will experience the climatic contrasts of the vine's annual cycle as well as hear and smell the environment that surrounds it. You'll walk between the barrels of wine while you learn the secrets of smelling the wine as it matures.
The tour concludes with a tasting of Torres wines.
