Driving for Vino: Penedès Winery Tour from Sitges

The Penedès wine region, a patchwork of sunlit vineyards and low limestone hills west of Barcelona, is the setting for Driving for Vino Tour—a four-hour, van-based tasting that launches from Sitges. Leave the beach behind and drive inland through rows of Xarel·lo, Macabeo and Parellada vines toward family estates where cava and still wines are made. This easy-paced trip visits two producers: Romagosa Torné, a family winery with nine generations of winemaking, and Can Lleó, whose 144 hectares of mostly white varieties produce everything from aromatic Moscatell and Chardonnay to structured Garnacha and Cabernet reds. At each stop a professional sommelier guides a tasting, explains terroir and production methods, and escorts you through cool cellars and working vineyards. Between sips the guide narrates local winemaking history and points out mountain views that frame the valley. Practical comforts make this a good fit for travelers who want deep taste without the logistics: the host provides pick-up and drop-off in Sitges, small group sizes are kept intimate, and the four-hour format leaves time for an afternoon on the coast. Tastings include local snacks and chances to buy bottles or cava to take home; the guide can advise on packing purchases for travel. What makes this tour stand out is its balance of access and authenticity. Romagosa Torné’s long family lineage gives a living link to Catalonia’s rural craft, while Can Lleó’s large vineyard holdings showcase the region’s range of varieties and modern vinification approaches. The route itself is revealing: vine-covered terraces, limestone ridgelines, and the scrubby Mediterranean flora that define Penedès’ landscape provide a scenic backdrop and explain why the area specializes in sparkling cava as well as fresh white wines. Who should go: wine lovers curious about cava production, visitors based in Sitges with limited time, and anyone who prefers guided context with tastings led by sommeliers. Note the tour is 18+ and runs about four hours with mostly easy walking around estates. Bring comfortable shoes, a camera, and space in your luggage for a favorite bottle. Booking details include a 48-hour cancellation window for a full refund. Occasionally wineries change due to availability, but the operator promises comparably high-quality alternatives. For a short afternoon that shifts the focus from shoreline to vine row, Driving for Vino delivers a compact, informed, and scenic introduction to Penedès wine culture. Allow spare time after the tour to wander Sitges’ old town or stroll the seafront; many travelers combine an afternoon tasting with evening tapas back on the coast. If you plan to buy multiple bottles, ask the winery about courier options or protective packaging for flights. The tour operator maintains small groups and local partnerships to keep your visit personal and managed.
