You push off from a shaded lane and the e-bike’s motor quietly answers, carrying you through rows of vines that slope toward the distant Mediterranean. Sunlight runs across stone farmhouses; an honest, dry breeze pushes you along old cart tracks as the guide points out trellising methods and grape varieties. The ride opens up into panoramic, low rolling hills—Penedès’ landscape that has long favored wine over forest.

You push off from a shaded lane and the e-bike’s motor quietly answers, carrying you through rows of vines that slope toward the distant Mediterranean. Sunlight runs across stone farmhouses; an honest, dry breeze pushes you along old cart tracks as the guide points out trellising methods and grape varieties. The ride opens up into panoramic, low rolling hills—Penedès’ landscape that has long favored wine over forest.
Penedès is one of Spain’s historic wine regions: flat plains and gentle hills underlain by Miocene sediments and limestone that drain quickly and concentrate flavor in the grapes. Winemaking here blends family tradition with modern fermentation, and small bodegas like Miquel Jané show how local varieties such as Xarel·lo, Macabeo and Parellada produce balanced, ageable wines and lively cavas.
On the tour you’ll cycle between vineyards, visit the winery and tasting room, meet producers and sample paired bites—an accessible, interpretive look at viticulture and terroir. The route is primarily paved and gravel farm roads with modest elevation changes; electric assist makes the distance (roughly 15–25 km total) comfortable for most riders.
Practical notes: bring a charged phone, closed-toe shoes and a refillable water bottle; wear sunscreen and a light layer for coastal breezes. Rides typically run about five hours including a seated tasting and snacks—ideal for travelers based in Barcelona or staying locally in Vilafranca or Sant Sadurní. Respect private rows, follow the guide’s pace, and plan transport back if you’re tasting—electric bikes assist, they don’t replace responsibility.

Many producers practice sustainable viticulture to reduce chemical inputs and preserve soil health; stay on designated tracks to avoid compacting vine roots.
