Itinerary
1. Pick up at the hotel and drive to Penedès (1 hour)
Between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m., one of our guides will pick you up directly at your hotel in Barcelona or Sitges. During the trip to the Penedès, you’ll travel in comfort in a spacious, air-conditioned vehicle, while the guide provides interesting insights about the region.
2. Horseback ride through the vineyards (1 hour)
At Hípica Excelsior, you’ll meet your fellow riders and fall in love with the beautiful horses that are so carefully tended and pampered at this riding center. The one-hour horseback ride will take you along rural trails through vineyards and pine forests, with numerous spots to enjoy the views of Montserrat and the Penedés wine region.
3. Brunch and wine tasting at a family-run winery (2 hours)
After the ride, the tour guide will pick you up at the riding center and take you to a charming, family-run, organic winery. There, you’ll enjoy a delicious local meal featuring potato omelet, Catalan cured meats, and artisanal cheeses, all paired with a tasting of wines and sparkling wines.
4. Second wine tasting (1.5 hours)
The wine tourism experience culminates at a second winery with a long tradition of producing wines and sparkling wines. At the winery, you’ll receive an explanation of the Gran Reserva Cavas, along with a tasting of two sparkling wines and some delicious chocolates from the region.
5. Return and transfer to the hotel (1 hour)
Relax during the one-hour return trip, during which your guide will drop you off at your hotel.
