• Description
• Additional information
• Reviews (41)

Spoil your taste buds with delicious wines with intriguing undertones of native grape varieties grown in the different wine regions of Spain. Explore the best wineries in Spain, from local family-owned vineyards to the most prominent wine-growing areas like La Rioja , Ribera del Duero, and Catalonia.

A ”Rioja” is not simply red wine — it’s a distinctive variant made from Tempranillo grapes. This savory delight is jam-packed with fruity characters, most commonly cherry and plum. Experience the rich culture of the wine country, Spain, by booking a tasting and vineyard tour.

Highlights:

• Winery tour and tasting with optional lunch
• Half-day & full-day tours
• Expert English-speaking tour guide

Know before you book:

• Tours are not wheelchair accessible
• Wear weather-appropriate clothing & comfortable walking shoes
• Minimum drinking age is 18

Winemaking in Spain dates back several centuries. The most crucial time for wine production in Spain began with the expansion of the Roman Empire in 218 B.C. Since then, Spain has made its mark as a certified wine country.

Spain grabs one of the top spots as the world’s third-largest wine producer after France and Italy, respectively. Boasting nearly a million hectares scattered across almost 4,300 wineries. The next time you’re in a city in Spain , going on a wine tasting and vineyard tour is an absolute must.

Your Spanish wine tasting journey typically begins with a guided walking tour of the vineyard, winery, and cellar. You’ll stroll through rows of rare grape vines, chilly underground cellars, and beautiful Spanish architecture boasting ornate stucco walls, terracotta tiled roofs, and soft arches.

Wine tasting in Spain is nothing short of a gastronomical adventure. Indulge in a multi-course meal featuring tapas and other distinctive Spanish dishes. All while tasting delightful wines brimming with intense flavors.

Most of the best wineries in Spain work hand-in-hand with local wine producers and family-owned boutique wineries. Each of these establishments grows and ferments its grapes in different styles, which means no two wines are the same.

Spain Wine Tours — Prices 2024

Spain’s booming wine tourism industry has led to a spike in the number of wine tours and tasting providers. From local budget-friendly vineyards to luxury winery tours, Spain has something for everyone.

You can book a half-day wine tour from about €65 ($68,39 USD) to €82 ($86,28 USD), while a full-day trip will cost you anything from €97 ($102,07 USD) to €170 ($178,88 USD).

Spain Wine Tours — Full-day & Half-day Travel Times

While full-day wine tours in Spain usually start bright and early, half-day excursions are more flexible, giving you the option of either a morning or evening trip. A full-day trip itinerary is typically loaded with activities and must-see monuments in Spain .

Full-day tours usually begin between 8:45 and 9 am. Half-day excursions may begin in the morning from 11 am or 6 pm in the evening.

Monday – Sunday: 8:45am – 8:00pm

Best Time to Go On A Spain Wine Tour

Spain’s Mediterranean climate is illustrated by its warm, arid summers and cool, wet winters. This means that this prominent wine country is ideal for year-round visits. You can visit in autumn when the vines are lush green and the ripened grapes are ready for harvest.

But the ideal time to go is late spring or early summer when holiday-makers typically flock to the coastlines to visit the best beaches in Spain .

Wine Tours in Spain: Package Options & Tickets

All Spain wine tour packages commonly share the wine tasting experience. But many others choose to stand out by offering optional additions like a tapa tasting, multi-course meal, or walking tour around a prominent Spanish neighborhood.

These packages vary in costs, from budget to luxury. But the popularity of these tours often leads to fully booked trips, so it would be wise to make a reservation ahead of time or purchase a skip-the-line ticket.

With skip-the-line tickets, you’ll have priority access to skip the long queues and waiting lists. These tickets often come with add-ons like separate entrances, air-conditioned roundtrip transportation, and visits to UNESCO World Heritage Sites like historic Toledo .

La Rioja: Winery Tour with Tastings and Traditional Lunch

As one of the most well-renowned wine regions in Spain, La Rioja boasts over 400 wineries. Discover enticing flavorful wines from the La Rioja Alavesa wine area on this half-day tour, while surrounded by lush peaks of the Cantabria mountain range.

This tour begins with an engaging vineyard exploration and then a tour of the stunning traditional Spanish bodega (wine cellar). While an expert guide takes you through their unique winemaking process.

Once you’ve taken in enough sites of the gorgeous scenery, you’ll be treated to a wine tasting session followed by lunch made from locally produced ingredients.

What we liked: Great for tasting a range of Spain’s finest wines.

• Wine Tasting Sessions
• Hotel pick-up
• English & Spanish-speaking guide
• Extra food and wine

It’s worth noting that you must bring your passport or ID on this tour, as alcohol is only served to people over the age of 18. The drive to the winery takes approximately two hours from one of Spain’s seaside towns — San Sebastián.

Ribera del Duero Wineries | Half-Day Tour & Tickets

The Ribera del Duero wine land is one of Spain’s top red wine-producing regions. Take a half-day trip from Madrid to Ribera del Duero and escape into the rich culture of winemaking and taste the purest expression of Tempranillo — Spain’s most well-known grape.

The tour begins with a two-hour minivan ride from Madrid; as you drive further north, your expert bilingual local wine guide narrates the region’s story. You’ll learn about the unique fruity character of the Ribera del Duero grape, the harvesting, and different fermentation techniques.

What we liked: Skip the line through a separate entrance.

• Wine Tasting (Minimum of Two Wines per Winery)
• English and Spanish-speaking Local Guide
• Visit to a Historical Landmark
• Lunch (You can get this at your own expense)
• Hotel Pick-up & Drop off
• Gratuities (This is optional)

Once you arrive in Ribera del Duero, you’ll visit three distinct wineries in these famous winelands. You’ll sample wines made from old and new winemaking methods and hear inspiring stories about how small family wineries turned the area into a global red wine producer.

After visiting the first two wineries, you’ll have some downtime to grab some lunch. You can enjoy classic Castilian regional food, like tapas, a light lunch, or a 3-course meal at your own expense.

Montserrat Gourmet Wine Tasting & Lunch | Full-Day Tour & Tickets

Journey into the Catalan countryside from Barcelona to Montserrat for a full-day wine tour in one of Spain’s most vibrant autonomous regions. This trip begins with a guided walking tour through the Basilica and Monastery on Montserrat — a one-of-a-kind multi-peak mountain with spectacular rock formations.

You’ll also get free time to explore the museum and local farmer’s market, after which you can enjoy breathtaking views from the ridge of Cavall Bernat. Afterward, you’ll visit the winery of Oller de Mas for a fascinating cellar tour, a wine tasting, and a multi-course Catalan meal to wrap up.

What we liked: The tour caters for any dietary allergies or restrictions.

• Guided Visit to a Boutique Winery (3 Wine Tastings)
• Multi-course Catalan Meal with Wine
• Local English-speaking Tour Guide
• Hotel Pickup & Drop-off

The Catalan countryside is known for its passionately independent people, their unique language, innovative flair, and creativity. Their impressive capacity to absorb different influences has led to the region boasting Romanesque art, medieval mountain monasteries, Art Nouveau masterpieces, and Roman ruins.

Catalan wines are rare and more sought-after. The wines also tend to be more pungent, higher in alcohol, and bear darker fruit flavors.

Keep In Mind: The Montserrat winery works closely with low-wine producers and family-owned boutique wineries. Should logistical issues arise, you may visit another cellar instead of Oller del Mas.

• Skip-the-line tickets to avoid waiting in long queues
• Transportation from the city center to the winery
• Free time to explore historic monuments & landmarks
• Not wheelchair accessible
• No hotel pick-up and drop off
• Tours are weather-dependent and may get canceled due to unfavorable conditions

Discover exciting Spanish Wine Tours

Together with Wine Paths’ local experts, all of our exclusive Spain wine tours, including vineyard visits, luxury stays and unique experiences, can be tailor-made to meet your specific needs – ensuring every detail is taken care of before you step foot on Spanish soil. Our Spanish wine tours cover the most renowned regions in a country that devotes more land to vineyards than anywhere in the world and has over 400 grape varieties – ranging in styles from the eponymous Rioja reds to sparkling white and rosé cavas .

Tours Suggestion in Spain

Spain wine tours are an opportunity for any wine lover to taste some of Europe’s finest styles from a myriad of different regions, each with its own alluring charisma – where the only constant is being bathed in sunshine. As part of our wine tours in Spain, you can take a private tour  through the mythic land of Rioja– the cradle of Spanish wine. Despite being one of the smallest of the country’s provinces, Rioja’s influence on Spanish wines is immense with over 500 bodegas in the north-west region. With most of our wine tours of Spain, there’s an opportunity to explore the vineyards accompanied by an expert guide, meet the owners to understand the production process and, of course, sample prestigious wines often accompanied by local cuisine.

Further south in the Catalunya wine region lies Penedes where almost the entire production of Spain’s answer to Champagne, cava , comes from. Among our Spain wine tours in Penedes, is the chance to explore the stunning landscape by electric bicycle or a unique opportunity to unite the worlds of wine and opera with a concert featuring some of the most popular arias , duets and trios in the country.

Ribera Del Duero is challenging Rioja for the title of Spain’s premier wine producing region, where vineyards are accompanied by age-old castles, cathedrals and medieval towns. Our exclusive heritage tour of the region is steeped in the culture and history of the area– with overnight stays in castles, visits to UNESCO World Heritage sites and wine-tastings with Tempranillo wines, Spain’s signature grape, at award-winning estates.

Sherry is enjoying a renaissance, and there is no finer producer than the   Pedro Domecq winery in Jerez , suppliers of the Royal House. Our Spain wine tour of this jewel of Andalusia includes tastings at the winery accompanied by a professional guide before the chance to take VIP seats at the Royal Andalusian Academy of Equestrian Art to watch the famous ‘ dancing horse ’ display.

Fine wine is always complemented by food, and we offer several wine tours of Spain that indulge in pairings with local gourmet cuisine. There is a pilgrimage to the heart of   Iberian ham country in Sierra of Arcena where the world’s finest hams are cured in the mountain air for up to three years. And, a tour of two wineries in Catalunya that finish with either a selection of thirteen gastronomic snacks or a full meal prepared by a local chef and served with a selection of wines and cava.

Take a look below to find some of the best wine tours of Spain and start planning an unforgettable wine holiday in this beautiful country.

Spain Wine Country

Spain, the third-largest wine producer globally, boasts a myriad of distinct wine regions, each showcasing unique viticultural treasures.

The Diversity of Climate

Concerning the climate, most people think that Spain wine country is very hot, which brings with it the problem of drought. How can you produce there modern, not too alcoholic wines?

However, the answer is that the country consists of lots of small micro-climates, which creates a beautiful diversity of wines produced across the Spanish wine regions. The country is made up of plateaus where it cools noticeably at night. The vines stand at an altitude of 250 to 950 meters which is the reason for that as well quality wines can be produced in Spanish wine regions such as Extremadura or La Manche . Nevertheless, in some regions, artificial irrigation is required.

Wine Tourism in Spain Spanish wine regions from north to south, east to west boast big diversity, which is expressed in almost every aspect; the Style of wines they produce and aromas and scents that come from different terrors. Moreover, each region offers different traditions of winemaking, winery architecture, and local food they produce. Explore Spanish wine regions from mountains to Mediterranean and Atlantic Islands, where you will discover different layers of history.

The leading grape variety there is also Tempranillo but is called Tinto fino or Tinto del País. The berries in this region have thicker skin and are in general smaller than those in the neighbouring region of Rioja . Therefore, the winegrowers in Ribera del Duero extract a fairly concentrated must, which leads to full-bodied and tannic wines.

Rueda, also located in the highlands, is the home of the Verdejo, which produces good and modern fruit-emphasized white wines. Besides, Sauvignon Blanc , Viura (Macabeo), and Palomino also play a role in white winemaking.

The best part of it all? I’m here to provide you with my f irsthand experience of Spanish wines and their wine producing regions. Like France and Italy, Spain also has their own appellation control known as DO and DOCa (Denominación de Origen and Denominación de Origen Calificada respectively).

So wine tourism is becoming increasingly popular: you travel to a country and tour their wine regions, learn about them, and drink GREAT vino. I mean, is there anything better than that!? 

Now, I’ve experienced some of the best Spain winery tours for you. I know, I know, I didn’t have to. But really, I insisted. 

These tours are run by locals who know the wine regions backwards and can offer you authentic, regional-based tours with some of the best wines available. So, without any further delay, let’s get cracking!

What is a Vineyard Tour?

Wine regions of spain, the best spain winery tours, final thoughts on spain wine tours.

A perfect starting point is to establish what exactly a vineyard tour is… A vineyard tour (or winery tour as they are sometimes referred to) is essentially all in the name. You are taken to the very heart of a wine region, usually departing from a major town or city, and immersed in the local wineries.

You will learn about the history of the winery, as well as the region, the farming techniques, grape varieties grown there, and a whole lot more. Oh, I almost forgot about the best part of these winery tours in Spain: you will get to taste (and drink) delicious Spanish wines! That’s why we’re here, right?

Above all, vineyard tours are fun way to travel around Spain and a great way for producers to showcase their products and tell their stories. Without consumers, wineries wouldn’t be able to sell their wines. And without wineries, consumers wouldn’t be able to drink wine – it’s very much a symbiotic relationship.

Before we get down to the best winery tours in Spain for 2024, let’s take a quick look at the various wine regions in the country.

While Spanish wines tend to fly under the radar, so to speak, wine production has been going on for many years in the country. They produce a large variety of wine styles, from sparkling Cava to delicate whites and opulent reds.

Spain also has a huge diversity in topography and climate which means there is a large variety of unique wine-growing regions. Each region has unique soils, weather, landscape, and altitude which allows for a huge variety of wine styles to be produced.

With all this variety, one thing remains the same – that the quality of the wines is top-notch. And the beauty about having so many wine regions is that, no matter where you stay in Spain , you’re never far away from a great vineyard. This is perfect for wine tourism and the main reason why we’re here.

Let’s take a look at the various wine regions that I’ll be covering in this post!

Barcelona falls within the Catalunya DO – a region that is responsible for around 90% of cava production in the country. Catalunya DO is found in northeast Spain and, as well as visiting Barcelona , the area is well-known for its amazing food and wine, beaches, and unique rural areas.

The region borders the Mediterranean Sea to the east and to the north are the eastern stretches of the French Pyrenees. Because of the proximity to the sea, the climate is very much maritime influenced, which plays a role in the grape quality.

Speaking of grapes, some of the main varietals grown in the region include Garnacha (Grenache), Tempranillo, Macabeo (Viura), Monastrell (Mourvèdre), Carinyena (Carignan), Xarel·lo, and Parellada. There are also many other international grape varietals grown given the diverse climate and terroir of the region.

Two of the most notable appellations are the Penedes DO and the Priorat DOC. Other DOs include Emporda, Terra Alta, Alella, Conca de Barbera, Montsant, and Tarragona.

The Madrid wine region, or DO Vinos de Madrid as it is formally known, is found almost in the dead centre of the country with Castilla-la Mancha adjacent. Home to the country’s capital, the region can be divided into three sub-zones namely Arganda, San Martin, and Navalcarnero.

Each of these areas are easy to reach if you’re travelling to Madrid , each with its own predominant varietal that is grown there. Arganda is more tempranillo based while San Martin is more Garnacha (Grenache) based and Navalcarnero is usually a combination of the two varietals. Albillo Real and Malvar are the main white varietals used in different proportions in the region.

The soils also differ quite substantially, ranging from clay and loam in Arganda to more granitic and weathered-rock soil in San Martin. The region experiences a continental climate and usually experiences long, hot summers and cold winters. Wines from the region are also classified according to their ageing process such are Sobremadre, Espumosos (Sparkling), Joven, Crianza, Reserva, and Gran Reserva.

Rioja is by far the most famous of the Spanish wine regions, located in the north of the country. It is also only one of two that holds the prestigious DOC status. La Rioja runs along the Ebro River for about 62 miles and is alongside the Navarra region.

Red wines from Rioja are generally made from Garnacha and Tempranillo and the region is most well-known for its esteemed tannic, bold, and smoky red wines. Mazuelo (Carignan) and Graciano are also used in Rioja reds as well as small quantities of Cabernet Sauvignon. There isn’t much in the line of white wines produced in the region, but they are produced predominantly Macabeo (Viura) and Chardonnay.

The soils vary somewhat in Rioja but the most prized are the limestone-rich ones found in the region. The Cantabrian Mountains provide a barrier between the Atlantic Ocean and Rioja, resulting in hot, dry conditions. Another important note is the sub-regions within Rioja – Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa, and Rioja Oriental. The wines from the regions can be further classified into Joven, Crianza, Reserva, and Gran Reserva.

The Montserrat Mountain is located in the Penedès region, northwest of Barcelona. The region is one of the most important in the entire Catalunya due to the variety in style and the sheer volumes produced. White, red, and rosé wines are made in dry, sweet, and sparkling styles. It is also one of the largest producers of Cava in the region.

There is a large variation in topography resulting in a range of micro-climates and as a result, a variety of wine styles. The climate is Mediterranean-influenced with warm summers, mild winters, and little rainfall. Grape varietals permitted for red wine production are Monastrell, Garnacha, Carinena, and Tempranillo, although it is known as Ull de Llebre. For white grape varietals, it is very much influenced by those used for Cava, such as Xarel-lo, Macebo, and Parellada as well as portions of Chardonnay.

The region can interestingly be divided up into three sub-zones based on their climates. These are Baix Penedès, Alt Penedès, and Medio Penedès. Baix Penedès are the lower-lying, hotter areas responsible for full-bodied red wines while Alt Penedès are the higher altitude areas (1,640 – 2,625ft) responsible for fresher white wines. Medio Penedès is the area between the two where the Baix transitions to Alt.

The final region to cover is found down in the southwest of Spain – to the east, south, and west if you’re staying in Seville . The Andalucia region is most famously known around the world for its production of sherry, a type of fortified wine made predominantly from the Palomino grape.

Again, the region can be divided into three zones based on the significantly different climates of each. To the west are the main sherry-producing areas of Jerez and Sanlucar de Barrameda which are influenced by the cooler Atlantic conditions. To the south, areas like the Sierras de Malaga and Malaga experience a more Mediterranean-influenced climate. Finally, the Montilla-Moriles experience the hottest and driest conditions of all three of the climate zones.

These climatic zones very much influence the wines that are produced in each area. The areas of Montilla-Moriles, Malaga, and the Sierras de Malaga are responsible for the production of the region’s signature sweet wines. These somewhat heavy sweet wines are made from Moscatel (Muscat) and the famous Pedro Ximenez varietals. The Jerez and Sanlucar de Barrameda areas are much cooler and therefore help to maintain acidity in the Palomino grapes used for the Manzanilla and Fino sherries.

We’ve tested countless backpacks over the years, but there’s one that has always been the best and remains the best buy for adventurers: the broke backpacker-approved Osprey Aether and Ariel series.

Want more deetz on why these packs are so  damn perfect? Then read our comprehensive review for the inside scoop!

Now we can move on to the party end of the article – the list of the best vineyard tours in Spain. There are in excess of 4,000 wineries in Spain alone. So travelling around the whole of Europe makes picking good winery tours next to impossible.

However, I’ve gone and done some digging and found some of the best tours that money can buy. They all leave from different cities or towns so you can just simply pick one closest to where you’ll be staying and the rest will be taken care of – it’s that easy!

Barcelona Wine Tour

• Marçà-Falset train station

What better way to kick off the winery tours in Spain than to one of only two DOCas in the country, Priorat? The tour is unlike any other that you have experienced. If you’re staying in Barcelona , you take a 2-hour train ride and meet at the Marçà-Falset train station where the tour begins!

From then on, it’s pure bliss, starting with a great view of the whole region from an elevated viewpoint. You will then visit two historic Priorat wineries and get to taste some of their best vinos – prepare to have your mind blown! There is also a visit to the Carthusian monastery followed by an olive oil tasting and lunch.

Madrid Wine Tour

The tour departs from the city centre and heads out into the picturesque countryside. The beauty is that the Madrid wine region is only a short commute from your accommodation in the city . You will get to see the rows upon rows of Tempranillo plantings used to produce some of the region’s top wines.

However, the best part of the tour is the visit to not one, not two, but three local wineries! At each winery, you will learn about their farming methods, production techniques, and the traditional clay vessels that house the wines during their maturation process. You will, of course, also get to taste wines at each estate. That’s why we’re here, right?

Rioja Wine Tour

• San Sebastian, Bilbao, or Vitoria
• 7.5 – 9 hours

Now we’re whipping out the big guns – a tour to the most famous wine region in Spain, La Rioja! The tour departs from either San Sebastian, Bilbao, or Vitoria where you get picked up from your hotel and taken to the La Rioja Alavesa area. La Rioja is a special wine-making territory, no doubt, and you will learn about what makes the region so spectacular on this tour.

The tour includes a visit to a traditional winery where you will learn how these world-famous wines are produced. You will then get to taste through some of the estate’s wines followed by a traditional, wine-filled lunch made with local produce. There’s even dessert included – because I am not sweet enough. You’ll leave the region with a full stomach, a satisfied palette, and a new knowledge and understanding of the Rioja wine region .

Montserrat Wine Tour

Montserrat is only Catalunya’s most famous mountain range – no big deal, right? This tour really has it all and incorporates both wine and culture together for a full day of fun. You will depart from Barcelona towards the Catalan Pre-Coastal Range with your first stop being at the world-famous Benedictine Abbey of Santa Maria de Montserrat. After visiting the monastery and its attractions, you will get the chance to listen to one of Europe’s oldest children’s choirs, La Escolania de Montserrat.

Once the historical and cultural aspects of the tour have finished, it’s on to learning about Cava – Spain’s very methode champanoise. You will head down to La Escolania de Montserrat which is in the heart of the region where you’ll visit a Cava winery and learn about the centuries-old production. The tour is then topped off with a tasting of three local wines and Cava’s as well as some local Catalan cheeses and meats.

Seville Wine Tour

Rounding off the list of Spain wine tours is a guided half-day wine tour in Andalusia. The tour departs from Seville where you will be picked up from your hotel and then driven out to the south-west of Andalusia. You will get to visit traditional Andalusian wineries and/or cognac producers, depending on the day.

At the winery, you will learn all about the production of the traditional wines of the area, from the grapes used to the production techniques and the ageing of the wines. The tour then ends off with a tasting of the wines to get the final piece of the puzzle and experience the finished products.

The tour then heads back to the city, but not before passing through the scenic countryside for one last view of the wine region. It’s also the perfect tour for those who don’t have the advantage of time on their hands or don’t wish to be out the entire day.

Worry Less With Good Insurance

Wherever you’re going in the world, things don’t always go to plan. That’s just the way it works. So getting good travel insurance is vital to taking care of yourself.

ALWAYS sort out your backpacker insurance before your trip. There’s plenty to choose from in that department, but a good place to start is Safety Wing .

They offer month-to-month payments, no lock-in contracts, and require absolutely no itineraries: that’s the exact kind of insurance long-term travellers and digital nomads need.

That now unfortunately brings us to the end of the best Spain wine tours (sniff-sniff). However, just because the door has closed on this article, doesn’t mean it’s over. This is just the beginning of your wine tourism escapades!

I sincerely hope that this guide comes in super handy when you’re looking to book your next winery tour adventure or if you’re looking to learn a bit more about Spanish wines. The world is your oyster, and with such a choice of winery tours in Spain, you certainly are a lucky shucker!

So, book that flight, accommodation, and vineyard tour and hit the road. Those delicious Spanish cavas, riojas, and sherries aren’t going to drink themselves. Someone needs to do it…

8 Best Barcelona Wine Tours + Top Wine Tours from Barcelona

The best Barcelona wine tours are a feast for all five senses.

You’ll walk amongst the grapevines, learn about the winemaking process, and hear fascinating stories about the Catalonian countryside.

Taking a wine tour of Barcelona is also a chance to discover the secret behind every bottle, and the labour of love that makes each sip worthwhile.

A little spoiler – the Penedes Wine + Cava Tour won out for is authenticity, length, and price.

That said, let’s break down some other top-rated wine tours from Barcelona.

Best Barcelona Wine Tours & Winery Excursions

When you think of Barcelona, the mind instantly conjures images of the Gothic Quarter , Sagrada Familia , and some of the city’s best beaches .

Yet, most visitors are unaware that one of its most treasured offerings lies in the wine tours just outside the city – exploring the world of Catalan wine.

Here’s a preview of what you’ll sample on top wine tours of Barcelona:

A typical Barcelona wine tour can take you to various prominent wine regions around Barcelona. These can include Penedès, known for its Cava production, Priorat, celebrated for its robust red wines, and Empordà, which offers a variety of unique blends.

Some tours also feature lunch or tapas options, or side trips to destinations like Monserrat.

You will have the opportunity to try a wide range of wines on a Barcelona wine tour. This can include Cava, Spain’s famous sparkling wine, as well as robust reds, such as Grenache and Carignan or  aromatic whites like Grenache Blanc, Macabeu and Carignan Blanc.

However, the inclusion of meals can vary, as sometimes you’ll only recieve a few local cheeses and ham to compliment the wine. It’s best to check the specific tour details.

To get the full Barcelona wine tasting experience, you’ll be required to take an air-conditioned shuttle to the surrounding country side and regions such as Priorat, Penedès, or Empordà.
