Penedès Wine Route

Projects of all types and sizes, scattered among farmhouses, villages, hamlets and hills, coexist in the Penedès. Some are the legacy of centuries-old lineages; others are bold new initiatives that reinvent ways of making wine. However, they all share a passion for transforming the fruit of the land into wines that speak of the place they come from. To visit it is to immerse yourself in this universe of flavours, aromas and textures of ancestral, still, sparkling and sweet wines; it is to cycle along paths between vineyards, to tour the underground cellars where the bubbles are born, to harvest with your own hands, to dine by the sea, among the vines and under a starlit sky, or to discover through a tasting session the character of a grape that is only born here: xarel-lo, malvasia and sumoll.Few regions can boast as much as the Penedès of having given shape to a product that has conquered tables the world over without ever losing the roots of the place where it was created. Here we can claim the origin of one of the world's great sparkling wines. That of a miracle that happens silently, under the ground: the bubbles.
