Catalunya
CATALUÑA, SPAIN
WINE NOT CATALUNYA WEEKENDER
Catalonia is defined by rugged coastline, beautifully diverse landscapes, and most importantly, lush vineyards. Producing some of the most sought-after wine in the Meditteranean, including Spain’s famous sparkling cava, the province boasts a kaleidoscope of unique terroirs and wine regions, making it prime for a wine tour weekender.
A breath away from Barcelona, the quaint villages of Priorat, Montsant, and Penedes rest upon breathtaking mountains rich with volcanic soil that nourishes some of Spain’s most renowned grapes. Abundant with distinguished wineries, there’s no place more magical to taste effervescent cava, rich reds, and dazzling white wines while sampling delicious Catalan delicacies with your new friends.
Take a tour amongst the flourishing grape vines, learn about the cava-making process in one of the region’s finest wineries, spend hours tasting some of the world’s best vino, and explore the astonishingly scenic village where you’ll be staying with your fellow travelers.
