Arrive in Barcelona, settle into our 4* hotel, take a quick siesta to squash the jet lag, and join us in the evening for Vermut y Tapeo at a local bar/restaurant that we love.

Ride the local subway and tour Gaudí’s famous Parc Güell in the morning, followed by a seafood-packed lunch in La Barceloneta, a working class neighborhood by the beach that’s off the beaten path. Enjoy a post-lunch stroll along the piers and up La Rambla, where we’ll split up for a little adventure & shopping time. Check out the Barri Gòtic and the Boqueria market, and shop for gifts to bring back home. In the early evening, we’ll meet back at the hotel and drive out to Penedès. Wind down with dinner & drinks at our farmhouse.

We’ll enjoy a Spanish-style breakfast buffet at our place and drive out to Priorat, 1.5 hours away. I’ll arrange an exclusive and private winery tour followed by lunch at a local restaurant recommended by our wine friends. In the afternoon, we’ll do another winery visit in nearby Montsant before heading back to our place for down time, dinner and drinks.

Start with breakfast at the house before we drive to a local family-owned bodega and farm for a tour and tasting right in Penedès. We’ll do lunch in town and roll over to another bodega in the area for round 2. Dinner will be served at our place.

Enjoy breakfast at our place and visit an exclusive bodega specializing in sparkling wine. Learn all about the history and production of sparkling wines in Penedès and what makes this bodega truly special, and tour the vineyards for a light lesson in geography and agronomy followed by a traditional Spanish lunch at a leisurely clip. We’ll enjoy one final dinner together and have a bottle packing party so all our souvenirs get home safely.

Time to pack it up and head home! We’ll have one last breakfast together and head back to the city for our flights home.
