Wine tourism in Cataluña.

Cataluña is one of the most complete wine regions in Spain and the one with the greatest concentration of appellations of origin. Its four provinces —Barcelona, Tarragona, Girona and Lleida— bring together 572 wineries open to visitors, from the great cava houses of the Penedès to the heroic vineyards of the Priorat on llicorella slate soils.

Cava, made by the traditional method with its capital in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, is the great Catalan ambassador, joined by the xarel·lo whites of the Penedès and the mineral garnacha and cariñena reds of the D.O.Ca Priorat —one of just two qualified appellations in Spain— and of Montsant. In the north, the Empordà makes wines shaped by the tramontana wind between the Pyrenees and the Costa Brava.

Wine tourism in Cataluña means combining cathedral-style Modernist wineries, sea and mountains, the cuisine of the calçotada and pa amb tomàquet, and a wine culture that dates back to the Romans. A destination as varied as its landscape.
