Catalonia Winery Visit and Tasting at Familia Torres
Journey to two of Catalonia's most prestigious wineries, where the magic of winemaking comes to life. Dive into the rich history and craftsmanship behind wine production while indulging in delightful wine tastings.
Our adventure begins with an expert guide as we journey approximately 50-minutes to the Penedes region, one of Catalonia's most prestigious wine areas. Here, we'll visit one of its most iconic and internationally acclaimed wineries: Familia Torres. Did you know that Familia Torres has been named the most admired wine brand in the world on multiple occasions? Founded in 1870, this family-run winery has been crafting exceptional wines for five generations, blending tradition, innovation, and a strong commitment to environmental stewardship. Upon arrival, we'll embark on an immersive tour of the vineyards and the Waltraud winery, an architectural gem of avant-garde, bio-climatic design. During the visit, we'll learn about the wine making process and explore the winery's dedication to sustainability, the recovery of ancestral grape varieties, and regenerative viticulture, a method that works to restore soil health and biodiversity. The tour concludes with a sensory gastronomic experience featuring a selection of dishes prepared with estate-grown ingredients: tomato bread with estate olive oil, potato omelette, seasonal vegetable cream from the organic garden, coca with "escalivada" and anchovies, Catalan-style chicken, and for dessert, mato with honey from Mas La Plana. Each dish is thoughtfully paired with a guided tasting of four wines from Bodegues Torres, creating a moment to truly relax and savor the principles of slow food.
