  3. Drive Through El Penedès: Vintage Mehari Wine Tour & Picnic Lunch

Adventure Brief

Drive a 1976 Mehari through El Penedès to visit two family wineries, taste premium cavas and wines, and finish with a picnic among the vines. This half-day tour blends countryside driving, cellar tours, and a leisurely local lunch.

4 hours
easy
Family Friendly
No Experience Required

The engine coughs, the canvas roof folds back, and the Mehari threads between low stone walls and neat rows of vines that lean toward the light. You roll through El Penedès with the wind and a guide who reads the land—the chalky soils, the terraces, the older family masias—pointing out parcels that shape a cava’s fine bead and a red’s backbone.

info

More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders

The tour includes tastings at two wineries and an open picnic lunch where local wines and cavas are offered; confirm exact pour policy when booking.

Tours typically start in Barcelona with a short drive to El Penedès and finish back near the same meeting point—verify pickup location and return times on your confirmation.

The Mehari is a vintage 1976 convertible maintained for passenger tours; it meets local safety standards but is an open-air, light-structure vehicle so expect a bumpy, exposed ride.

History

El Penedès has produced wine since Roman times and became a center for sparkling wine in the 19th century when local producers adapted Champagne methods to create cava.

Conservation

Many local wineries are moving toward organic or low-intervention practices; visitors should stick to guided paths, avoid trampling vines, and dispose of waste responsibly.
