During this private wine tasting tour you’ll visit two (or three, see “More Wine” option) boutique wineries of your choice in the Penedes or Priorat regions, and you’ll do so in the company of a knowledgeable English-speaking sommelier and guide, who will be able to talk you through the fascinating history wine production in the region, and offer you insights about the local terroir and indigenous grape varieties.

At each winery you’ll be invited to explore the vineyards and cellars, meet the wine-makers, and most importantly enjoy plenty of wine tasting of the local Catalan red, white and sparkling varieties, all in an intimate environs (on this tour you’ll be avoiding all the touristic wineries!).

The tour also includes a traditional Catalan lunch at one of the wineries.

Latest Reviews of Wine Tasting Tour

"The best day of our trip!" - by Kyle Tosh

My girlfriend and I was able to spend a day with Nico back in February. We had never been on a winery tour before, and did not know what to expect. I have to say, it was the best day of our trip, and incredibly memorable. Nico was super friendly, and his knowledge of wine was through the roof! We went to 3 very different wineries, and were able to meet the owners due to Nico's connections. We brought back a lot of Cava and wine to the United States and have been holding the bottles for special occasions. Nico -- thank you for the great day and we hope to see you again throughout the years! Highly recommend!

"You won't be disappointed" - by Nicholas

I have toured in a number of wine regions, and this tour was the best. Nico knows which wineries to visit, is knowledgeable (I am a wine nerd), and also personable. Truly, this was like having an old friend show you his favorite wineries in an area he knows better than most. As soon as I am back in the Barcelona/Penedes area, I will call him immediately. Give him your business and you won't be disappointed.

"Perfect day in the Catalonian Wine Country" - by Wendy

Wonderful day!! We enjoyed a great Penedes wine tour with Nico. We visited two wineries that are farming sustainably, had private tours and tastings, and ended the day with a lunch in a local restaurant where we were definitely the only Americans there. It was a perfect day in the Catalonian Wine Country.
