Organic wineries in the Penedes region
The Penedes is the oldest wine region in Catalonia, with more than 2000 years of tradition in winemaking. Thanks to this long tradition, there are over 300 wineries, many family-owned and organic. These are my favorite family-owned and organic wineries in the Penedes region.

The best organic wineries in the Penedes
1. Caves Nadal
Discover Finca Nadal, with a tradition dating back to the 15th century. Visit the foundational cellar, built in 1943 and located 20 meters underground, and end your journey with an exclusive tasting in the garden of the Nadal historic manor house. Enjoy the story behind each sparkling wine and white wine, all set in a privileged environment. This is a perfect plan for wine lovers. For more details, you can visit Nadal’s website.
2. Eudald Massana Noya
The Eudald Massana winery is another biodynamic cellar. It has nine generations of history and has been making wines for over two centuries. The winery is an authentic Catalan house, also called a farmhouse. It has beautiful views of the vineyards, with a lovely terrace. Where to taste the wines and sparkling wines of the winery. One of their most recommended tours includes a brunch with Catalan Food, Wine, and vine views. Visit the winery webpage here.
3. Giró del Gorner
Another highly recommended winery is the Giró del Gorner. It is a small family winery in the DO Cava with a long tradition of producing wines and sparkling wines. The house dates back to the 16th century and they have a beautiful garden where you can sit under the shade of a tree and taste their wine. As an activity, I especially recommend the picnic overlooking the vineyards. It is an original way to spend the day with family and friends. Natural products from the region: cheeses, Spanish omelet, homemade sausage, tomato bread. More information about the winery and venues here.
4. Cava Guilera
We are finishing this post with the smallest winery on the list. It specializes in aging caves and long aging and produces 30,000 bottles annually. To give you an idea, in the Penedés, there are no more than five wineries specializing in aging caves. With a maturation of over 2 years old, some of its sparkling wines reach up to 14 years of aging. Thus, it is the best place to enjoy a cava pairing. Of course, it is accompanied by delicious cheese from the house Xerigots and very well-made chocolate from the chocolatier Simon Coll. Another advantage is that Cava Guilera is next to a train station. Specifically, the Lavern train station, where the R4 that connects Barcelona with Sant Vicenç de Calders passes.
5. Vins el Cep
Vins el Cep is a relatively young project founded by four families in the 1980’s. This union was made to prevent the price of the grapes from dropping due to the mechanization of the land and to preserve their old Xarel·lo and Macabeu vineyards and harvest them manually. Today is a well-consolidated project with outstanding wines, from white, red, and sweet wines to Cavas and even Pet-Nat (Petillant Naturell). Some of my favorite things about this winery are the surroundings: an old farmhouse in the middle of nature, well preserved and re-modeled for high-quality tours. For more details, you can visit Vins el Cep website here.
