The Essence of Penedès⏐Private Tour is a full-day private wine and food experience that departs from Sitges and explores the heart of Catalonia’s Penedès wine region. In eight hours you'll move through rolling vineyards, limestone hills and shaded olive groves, visiting family-run bodegas and organic estates that make the region famous for Cava and Xarel·lo-based whites. Guests are collected with a free pick you up at your accommodation in Sitges, then driven inland where terraces of vines unfurl across low Mediterranean slopes. The day pairs tasting technique with terroir: a guided descent into traditional underground cellars to learn méthode traditionnelle sparkling production, a walk among rows of Xarel·lo, Parellada and Macabeo that reveal calcareous and clay soils, and conversations with winemakers about low-intervention viticulture. Highlights focus on small-scale, boutique producers. You'll savor up to eight premium Cavas and still wines—Brut Nature, Reserva and aged Gran Reserva among them—sampled alongside a three-course Catalan lunch prepared with seasonal km-0 ingredients at a countryside farmhouse or winery restaurant. The curated menus and paired wines are designed to underline local flavours: anchovies, escalivada, slow-roasted pork and artisan cheeses punctuated by lively sparkling finishes. The tour balances relaxed tasting with light walking: panoramic photo stops on vineyard ridgelines, a guided vineyard tour at an organic estate, and time to shop for limited-release bottles not found in city shops. An English-speaking wine expert accompanies the group, unpacking grape varieties, sustainable practices and the region’s place in Spain’s wine history—Penedès helped pioneer Spanish méthode traditionnelle sparkling wine in the 19th century and remains a laboratory of innovative, small-batch producers. What makes this private tour stand out in the region is its focus on intimate, customizable visits—two boutique family wineries, direct conversations with producers, and a private transport and service model that lets you linger where you like. For travelers based in Sitges, it’s an efficient way to transform a seaside visit into a deep, taste-driven immersion in Catalonia’s wine country without worrying about logistics. Practical notes: the experience suits relaxed walkers and food lovers, includes free pickup in Sitges, and runs for roughly eight hours. Expect a mix of cellar stairs, gravel paths and paved roads between estates. Bring a jacket for cool cellars and space in your luggage for bottles you’ll want to take home. Groups are intentionally small—this listing notes 8 Guests maximum—so bookings fill quickly during harvest and long-weekend windows; reserve early if you travel between May and October. Cancellation terms allow flexibility: cancel 48h in advance for a full refund. If you have dietary restrictions or mobility concerns, mention them at booking so hosts can tailor the lunch and timing. Expect approachable hosts who prioritize sustainable cellar practices and warm, informed hospitality and service.
