Details

Setting sail from the vibrant city of Barcelona, Gotland Charter offers a distinctive way to indulge in Spain’s renowned wine culture while cruising the Mediterranean coastline. The journey begins in the bustling port, where sleek boats glide into the blue horizon, heading toward the charming town of El Masnou. As the vessel cuts through sparkling waters, passengers are treated to panoramic views of the Catalan coast, with waves lapping softly against the hull. The highlight unfolds on reaching Alta Alella, one of Spain’s oldest and most storied wine regions, celebrated for its picturesque vineyards nestled alongside the sea.

At Alta Alella, visitors step ashore into a landscape of rolling vineyards that have been cultivated for centuries. The region’s rich history dates back to Roman times, and its soils—comprised of granite and clay—produce distinct, mineral-heavy white and red wines. During the wine tasting, guests savor local varietals that exemplify Spain’s winemaking traditions, all while soaking in sweeping views of the verdant landscape and rugged coastline. This experience beautifully marries natural beauty with cultural heritage, making it a standout among outdoor activities in Barcelona.

What makes Gotland Charter’s Boat and Cellar adventure especially appealing is its combination of leisure, education, and scenic charm. The voyage offers a peaceful escape, away from city crowds, into a space where nature and tradition intertwine seamlessly. Perfect for wine lovers and adventure seekers alike, it provides a refreshing perspective on Barcelona’s coastal allure—an authentic taste of both maritime freedom and Andalusian viticulture.
