By place · SPARKLING WINE TOURS IN BARCELONA
Good sparkling wine tours in Barcelona fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Set out on a small sailboat for two hours along Barcelona’s coast. Your Spanish, English, or French-speaking crew serves cava, beer, soft drinks, water, and snacks, with time to swim. Guides such as Fiona, Alessio, David, and Marcos are known for warm hosting and fun local stories.
“Great guide, fun and relaxing trip - recommend to everyone great views of Barcelona from the coastline👍🙏🏻 thanks”
Travel from Barcelona to Can Bas and Pere Ventura, two historic Penedès wineries. You’ll tour cellars, ride a convertible 4x4 through 2,000-year-old vines, visit a Romanesque chapel, and taste seven wines with local pairings. Guides such as Cristina, Rob, Anna, and Rosa bring the winemaking story to life.
“This was a wonderful tour. It was clear and well organized, and the vineyard we visited was beautiful. The guides and host were informative, friendly and charming. I had a wonderful day of learning about and trying Spanish wine.”
Set out from Port Olímpic for a two-hour small-group sail with a captain such as David, Fiona, or Alessio. Expect cava, drinks, Catalan-style snacks, waterfront views of the Sagrada Família and W Hotel, and a possible Mediterranean swim when conditions allow.
“Great day started with this 2 hour Sail! David our captain was great. Very friendly and took very good care of us. I would definitely recommend this activity. Close to beach to hang out after and Great restaurants right off the dock. Remember to tip your tour guide!”
Leave Barcelona for the Penedès wine country on a small-group tour capped at 15 people. Visit two family-run wineries, ride through the vines in a 4WD vehicle with a viticulturist, tour cava cellars, and taste three wines, four cavas, cheese, and charcuterie with guides such as Christina, Christine, or Elizabeth.
“Not a long drive from Barcelona, the Cava winery and the other winery were welcoming. The tastings and corresponding food worked well. The third Cava was my favorite.”
Pick a bottle and see where it is poured properly.
