Cycling The Vineyards of Penedes with Montefusco Cycling

Situated just southwest of Barcelona, the Penedes region is one of Spain’s most celebrated wine-producing territories, famed for its sprawling vineyards and rich viticultural heritage. Montefusco Cycling offers an immersive 8-hour cycling experience through this fertile landscape, weaving together the natural beauty of Girona with the cultural depth of Catalonia’s wine traditions. Departing from Girona, this private guided tour takes riders on high-end bikes across gently rolling terrain, where endless rows of grapevines stretch beneath the Mediterranean sun.

The route highlights the carefully cultivated vineyards that define Penedes, home to a variety of native grape strains including Xarel·lo and Macabeo. Beyond the verdant vines, the ride reveals unique geological features: chalky limestone soils and formations that enrich the terroir, making this area a cradle of some of Spain’s best sparkling Cavas and robust reds. Along the way, riders may opt for an authentic Catalan lunch in a traditional restaurant, offering a taste of regional cuisine that complements the wine culture.

The tour culminates with a visit to the iconic Bodegas Torres winery, located conveniently near Barcelona. Here, guests witness the winemaking process—from vine to bottle—alongside tastings of their acclaimed varietals.
