Full description
If you think wine tasting is just about sitting down and swirling your glass with an air of expertise, get ready to let your hair down on dirt tracks and raise a glass in the heart of the countryside.
On this two-hour experience, you’ll travel in an open-top 4x4 along the rural tracks and to the viewpoints of the Alt Penedès region in Barcelona. As you drive through vineyards that change colour with the seasons, your guide-driver will share the local history and the secrets of wine during the stops. The adventure culminates at a family-run winery, where a member of staff will guide you around the premises before you enjoy a cava tasting and some light snacks.
What we will do
We’ll meet at the agreed time at the meeting point at Ca l’Avi, Barcelona. There, our guide-driver will meet us and, after a warm welcome, we’ll settle in on board the open-top 4x4 to leave the tarmac behind and feel the breeze amongst the first rows of vineyards.
We’ll set off on a one-hour route along country lanes and dirt tracks, surrounded by vineyard landscapes that change colour with the seasons. At strategic stops along the way, the guide will share anecdotes about the region, the area’s wine-growing history and the secrets behind vine cultivation in this terroir.
During the tour, we’ll stop at a stunning viewpoint amongst the vines to catch our breath, stretch our legs and take in the vastness of the valley at our leisure. It’ll be the perfect breather in the heart of nature before heading towards the most delicious part of the day.
To round off the tour in style, we’ll visit a local winery — selected depending on availability on the day — where we’ll spend an hour discovering its secrets from the inside. Led by an expert oenologist or the winery’s own guide, we’ll tour the production and ageing facilities before moving on to the most eagerly anticipated part: a select tasting of two cavas, accompanied by a light snack of crisps, olives and savoury biscuits. Between sips, we’ll learn to appreciate the aromas and character of their wines whilst toasting the experience. In total, the activity will last approximately 2 hours.
