Barcelona Wine Tour Reviews

1. Penedes Tour: 3 Wineries with Tasting Small Group from Barcelona

What to Expect on the Tour

Penedes is one of the oldest and biggest wine-growing regions in all of Europe, with varied soil and microclimates, as well as unique indigenous grapes that end in very specialized wines.

This region is almost exclusively the sole producer of cava, which is Spain’s sparkling wine. In fact, it’s widely considered to be the most important viticultural area in Catalonia, and is undoubtedly one of the most important in the country.

Expect the first stop on your tour to be a historic cava production house, where you and your small group will dive in deep to the legacy of cava’s sparkling wine and see the cellar which started 150 years ago!

After sampling some of their award-winning cava varieties, continue on to a family-run winery renowned for its artisanal methods and meticulous processes while sipping on another fine glass of cava.

Fuel up with a traditional Spanish lunch in a charming village – delicious, but you should expect to pay a bit extra for this. All of that set against the stunning Catalan landscape, and what more could you want?

What Makes This Tour Great

If I’m going to be on a tour with someone for 10 hours, I really hope that I like them. Our guide was beyond friendly – clearly exhibiting his passion and vast knowledge for all things “Penedes”, complete with how the history of the region ties in with its wine production.

Our transportation was smooth and convenient, and by the time we arrived to the first cava production house, we already had a good idea of what to expect, thanks to our guide’s stories.

It was really cool to see how they’ve used centuries-old methods to craft modern products, proving that their artisanal techniques stand the test of time.

We of course got to try their top wines, and helped us differentiate between each one and their different classifications. The guided tour of the cellars was refreshing on such a hot day, but I also loved getting out into the vineyards to see the grapes firsthand.

If you’re on the hunt for a tour that gives you a little bit of everything, you can’t go wrong here.

2. Barcelona Tapas and Wine Experience Small-Group Walking Tour

What to Expect on the Tour

If it’s your first time in Barcelona and you’re looking to immerse yourself in the local food and drink scene, you simply can’t miss out on tapas and wine.

However, it probably goes without saying that a lot of first-time visitors find themselves in “tourist traps” that offer food that isn’t quite authentic. That’s why I highly recommend the Barcelona Tapas and Wine Experience Small-Group Walking Tour!

Guided by a local expert, you’ll head to some of the finest tapas bars, from succulent Iberian ham to the savory “pan con tomate” complemented by a selection of exquisite regional wines.

Choose between a leisurely afternoon or an enchanting evening tour, with the option to elevate the tour with a captivating flamenco show. For wine connoisseurs and foodies, this is the perfect gastronomic tour that offers a genuine peek into traditional Catalan cuisine and viticulture.

This tour is ideal for those who don’t want to dedicate an entire day to the subject, or leave Barcelona. Rather, it’s an experience that will further enrich your time in the city, providing a great balance of history, architecture, cuisine, and wine.

What Makes This Tour Great

I loved walking through El Born and the Gothic Quarter, which looked like something out of a Disney movie or fairytale! It was here where we made our first 2 tapas bar stops, complete with patatas bravas, octopus, Iberian ham, and many more.

Each stop includes a perfectly paired glass of wine, as our guide helped us identify the different flavor notes and why they go so well with these specific tapas.

As we progressed to each stop, we had plenty of time to stop and awe at gorgeous buildings, with our guide pointing out hidden gems like Roman ruins and historic buildings like the one where we got to see the flamenco show at the end of the tour!

3. From Barcelona: Alella Wine Tour by Electric Bike

What to Expect on the Tour

Alella is a beautiful, peaceful town known for its wonderful white wines, rich history, and stunning vineyards. However, you’d really be missing out if you just traversed it in a vehicle. To really enjoy this piece of paradise, you need to get out in the fresh air!

Walking just isn’t feasible as you won’t cover as much ground, but thanks to the e-bike, you get to revel in it all, while the breeze blows through your hair!

This scenic ride takes you along the coastline, through the Serralada de Marina Natural Park, finally arriving at a family-run organic winery.

This hidden gem is known for its artisanal approach to winemaking, and you can expect to learn about the intricacies of their meticulous methods and sample 4 of their prestigious wines.

Following the tasting, enjoy a delicious picnic surrounded by the winery’s serene landscapes, featuring an assortment of local cheeses, breads, cold cuts, and more.

What Makes This Tour Great

I’m definitely someone who’s passionate about wine, but even without the winery tour, I would’ve felt this tour was worth it. Getting in a bit of exercise and fresh air while soaking up the beautiful coastline, ports, beaches, and rolling hills, is priceless.

Not to mention, our intimate group and passionate tour guide were so much fun to be around, learning about the different sites as we cruised along.

While 25 km may sound like quite the trek, it was surprisingly easy with the electric bikes! The family-run winery and historic vineyards were breathtaking, and super interesting to get to tour with the owners!

We learned just about everything you can about their winemaking process, including a thorough tasting of 4 of their wines with one of the cellar’s professional sommeliers. Afterward, we had a charming little picnic in the middle of the stunning winery!

4. From Barcelona: Penedés Vineyards Tour by 4WD w/Wine & Cava

What to Expect on the Tour

As I already mentioned earlier, Penedes is one of the most renowned winemaking regions in all of Europe, tucked between the Mediterranean coast and the mountains.

Not only is it breathtakingly beautiful, it also has the ideal climate for Spanish cava! Expect to learn about their unique winemaking traditions, grape varieties, aging, and much more!

Not to mention, you’ll enjoy a refined tasting of 3 exceptional wines at the first winery, complemented by gourmet local treats that highlight the flavors of said wines.

Continue the visit in a convertible 4×4 vehicle, traversing the vineyards with your guide and a viticulturist! Pass enchanting architecture that transports you back in time before arriving to another historic winery specializing in cava, with cutting-edge design facilities.

Here, you’ll try 4 of their special cavas, along with delicious appetizers throughout the experience.

What Makes This Tour Great

I’m someone who enjoys wine and I’m also a bit of an adrenaline junkie, and I love the way this tour combined both! The 4×4 vehicle was so much fun!

Our guide drove us around with precision and expertise, allowing us to cover more ground while taking in amazing views from the vineyards and surrounding areas! We even got to see old churches, farmhouses, and many more “hidden” gems along the way.

Starting out at 9am, I loved that we were back in Barcelona before dinnertime, allowing us to rest and continue on with our evening plans without issue.

Accompanied by a viticulturist, I learned a TON about wine – specifically cava – and what’s so special about these vineyards in Penedes. We visited 2 different historical wineries that specialize in cava, and we got to see the differences between their production methods.

The highlights for me were seeing the Romanesque manor, as well as entering the capella, which was literally centuries old! Not to mention the tastings of an array of different types of cava – I had to grab a few bottles to bring back home!

5. Barcelona Sailing Adventure: Small Group Winery Tour & Tasting

What to Expect on the Tour

Located right outside Barcelona, the Alella wine region is a great way to escape the city and relax with some of the tastiest wine around. Expect a day filled with serene landscapes and sea views, along with a visit to a charming, family-run vineyard.

Depart from Port Olimpic aboard a sleek sailboat, where you’ll glide along the coastline, taking in views of Barcelona as you enjoy snacks and drinks.

Upon arrival to the picturesque Alella harbor, you’ll transfer to a luxury minibus en route to a family-run winery where you’ll learn about their winemaking heritage and distinct regional varieties through vineyard tours.

Savor a selection of 4 local wines at a tasting session, thoughtfully paired with a traditional Catalan brunch that showcases the region’s culinary treasures.

This is definitely a more luxurious way of experiencing the surrounding wineries, with the Mediterranean breeze blowing through your hair and a tasty brunch included!

What Makes This Tour Great

If you have a few hours to spare in your itinerary and would like a relaxing little trip away from the city, this is the perfect option.

If you’re looking for a chic brunch option, I can’t think of a better alternative than this! The skipper was super friendly, making sure all of us were entertained and laughing throughout the tour.

The sailboat was beautiful and offered plenty of room to move around and enjoy the views of the Barcelona skyline, Port Masnou, and Playa de la Mar Bella.

We tried a ton of locally-made cheeses and fresh bread, along with salami, fruit, and many other snacks, along with refreshing drinks as we cruised along.

Once we arrived in Alella, we wasted no time and headed right into the sun-drenched vineyards for a guided tour, learning all about why their grapes and soil is so important.

After trying 4 different wines – all of which were incredible – we dug into a traditional Catalan brunch which was one of the best meals I had during my time in Spain.

6. Barcelona: Wine Tasting and Tapas 5-Course Pairing Dinner

What to Expect on the Tour

If you’re looking for a great alternative to going to dinner at a nice restaurant, or perhaps just a little romantic outing, look no further.

The Barcelona: Wine Tasting and Tapas 5-Course Pairing Dinner is designed by professional sommeliers, keeping wine lovers in mind without compromising on the quality of food.

This exceptional experience consists of a sophisticated meal taking you on a journey through traditional Catalonian dishes and wines!

As you enjoy each course (and without being overbearing), the sommeliers will lead you through an educational wine tasting, offering insights into the delicate art of pairing flavors and how to amplify them.

If you’re also at all into cheeses, you can expect a comprehensive cheese tasting that works well with cava, whites, and reds! For the value, you get a great deal that you won’t find anywhere else.

What Makes This Tour Great

First off, I absolutely loved our host, who was friendly and knew so much about cheese and wine! So much so, that I’d recommend this tour to anyone who’s trying to convince a non-wine-lover why the drink is so great.

As a sommelier, she explained each wine in a way that just made sense, while still sharing valuable information and went into as much detail as we were curious to know.

We did have the choice between a couple of different appetizers, main courses, and desserts, though there was only one main appetizer. I felt that it was more than enough food for a full meal, and the selections were exquisite!

With a total of 5 local dishes and 5 paired wines, it not only broadened my palate but also showed me options I probably wouldn’t have otherwise tried!

7. Barcelona: El Born and Gothic Quarter Wine & Tapas Bar Tour

What to Expect on the Tour

El Born is one of the trendiest neighborhoods in Barcelona, with its charming medieval streets lined with interesting cafes, sophisticated cocktail bars, and plenty of good food and nightlife.

The Gothic Quarter is easily the most well-known neighborhood, seeing as it’s literally the heart of the old city, with 13th-century architecture, Roman ruins, cozy pubs, and much more.

You’ll get to explore the best wine and tapas that both barrios have to offer, strolling with your guide over the narrow, cobblestone streets to uncover hidden gems you aren’t likely to see, otherwise.

As you explore, your guide will share stories of the area’s storied past, tying wine and gastronomy back into its cultural significance. In fact, you’ll visit 4 local-loved tapas bars to try Spanish cheeses, octopus, and other delicacies paired with local wines.

You do get the option to add on a flamenco show at the end of the night, which I highly recommend taking advantage of.

What Makes This Tour Great

Our guide was so fantastic that he made this tour so much more than just a trip to 4 great tapas bars for delicious food and wine. He really took us through these 2 famed neighborhoods and made us feel like experts, ourselves.

He regaled us with intriguing anecdotes and dramatic historical tales as we explored, stopping to point out different historic sites and other gems that I likely would’ve just walked by, otherwise.

Our small group size made for an intimate experience, but also made it very easy to make friends from around the world! Each tapas bar had a different vibe, menu, and wines to choose from, making it a great way to dive right into the local culture.

I never felt like any of the visits or foods were redundant, and it was clear that someone who knew the city like the back of their hand had curated this itinerary.

The flamenco show at the end of the night was breathtaking and a great way to have fun with our guide and the rest of our group!
