To do a wine tour in Spain you have to be in the Penedes, one of the most interesting wine regions of Spain. The winemaking history of this region dates back many years ago and the wineries claim to make the best wines, and especially cava’s, of the country.
The climate of the region makes it ideal to produce good grapes and with the traditional methods therefore the best wines. There are a lot of famous wine brands and wineries located in the Penedes. Famous wine houses are Miguel Torres, and Jean Leon and famous wineries are Raventos Blanc, Gramona, and Pares Balta. Be sure to enjoy one of the great wine tours during your Weekend Break in Sitges
One of the famous wineries which you can visit is Parés Baltá, this is a family owned winery which tradition goes back till 1790. Parés Baltá produces cava’s, red and white wines. They do not only produce the wines but they also grow the grapes on one of their estates in and around the mountains of the Penedes. They offer guided tours where they will show you how they make their wines from the vines to the aging process.
The Jean Leon vineyard offers wine tours in a more unconventional way, with a modern way of transport; a Segway. Jean Leon is the wine brand of a Spanish man who went to America to become happy and build fortune and then came back to start a successful winery. When you do a Segway tour through the estates of Jean Leon you will be told about the cultivation techniques and grape varieties. You will also see that the estates are divided in several sections; wines are produced from the grapes of a particular vineyard. Every wine has its different section on an estate. Off course after the wine tour you can taste all the wines as well.
The last company I would like to point out to you is Winepleasures, they organize tasting events and tours. With them you can not only taste the wines but you also taste the food combined with it. They have for example unique tastings with chocolate combined with wines. And if you book a tour with Winepleasures you will visit not just one winery but you will go to different ones.
After these possible wine tours and tastings you must be able to choose one. And if you want to know more possibilities just contact our team at the hotel.
Have fun while you’re enjoying the wines!
