Wine Routes in Catalonia

In Catalonia there are as many as 11 Denomination of Origin with a wine-making tadition dating back to centuries in certain cases. The Catalunya Denominations of Origin is the only one which has been created in more recent years, and its vineyards cover the whole Catalonia territory.

The most outstanding DO is Cava, Spain’s most famous sparkling wine. Catalonia holds 90% of cava production, in an area comprised between Barcelona and Tarragona; The remaining 10% is shared among other regions.

The Catalonian vineyards, which amount to 70.000 hectares, offers a great variety of red, white and rosé wines.

We have chosen a route through Penedés due to its closeness to Barcelona and because it is highly representative of the Catalonian wine-making tradition, and it also enables us to stop at some cava wineries and understand how it is produced:
