Cycling For Paella Tour in Sitges: Alt-Penedès Wine, Bikes & Paella Masterclass

Cycle, learn, and eat your way through Alt-Penedès on the Cycling For Paella Tour • Private Tour, a five-hour small-group experience that departs from Sitges. Located on the Mediterranean coast southwest of Barcelona, Sitges is the meeting point for a short drive into the Alt-Penedès, a wine region of rolling vineyards, low limestone ridges, and sunbaked olive trees. This day blends easy cycling, a winery visit, and a hands-on paella class at CAVES ROMAGOSA TORNE, ending with a leisurely meal and a return to Sitges. The ride covers roughly 10 km on mostly flat, quiet country roads and vineyard tracks, giving riders steady views of rowed vines, stone walls, and occasional farmhouse architecture. Along the way guides pause to point out grape varieties and explain local winemaking traditions; the guided cellar visit adds context, with a look at cava production and aging. The paella segment is the heart of the day: participants choose from seafood, meat, vegetarian, or black paella, learn ingredient selection, sofrito timing, and how to coax socarrat—the crisp bottom crust—from the pan. The class includes a free glass of wine or cava to sip while cooking, and everyone takes home a recipe and a few chef tips to recreate the dish. Practical and visitor-friendly, the tour includes pick-up and drop-off in Sitges, helmets and bikes, and a safety briefing before the ride. It suits travelers who want a relaxed active morning rather than a strenuous bike tour: the cycling is accessible to most riders comfortable on a standard city or hybrid bike. The small-group van logistics mean you spend less time commuting and more time tasting and cooking. What makes this outing special is the marriage of place and plate: you move through the actual landscapes that feed Catalan cuisine, then transform local ingredients into a meal under an experienced instructor's guidance. CAVES ROMAGOSA TORNE and the Alt-Penedès vineyards give a regional identity — this is not a generic cooking class, it’s an edible field lesson in Catalan foodways. Bring sunscreen and comfortable shoes for standing at the paella pan; the shore and vineyards mean Mediterranean weather, so a light windbreaker helps on cooler mornings. The operator recommends cancelling 48 hours in advance for a full refund. Families and solo travelers are welcome; group size remains intimate, capped by van capacity. For a half-day that pairs gentle pedaling with a culinary souvenir you’ll actually cook and eat, this tour is a memorable way to experience Catalunya’s flavours and landscapes. Bookings typically run morning to early afternoon; bring a reusable water bottle and any dietary notes in advance. Perfect for food-loving cyclists who want a concise, authentic taste of Catalunya.
