Tour Overview
Experience the beautiful and rugged Priorat wine region, visit the villages of Morera de Montsant, Gratallops and Porrera. Visit three wineries, including the famous Clos Figueras winery and enjoy a traditional lunch.
The Priorat vineyards are considered to be some of the oldest vineyards in Spain. Thanks to the limited rain, high filtration and mineral-rich soil, wines from the Priorat are renowned for their distinct, consistent character. The scenery you’ll enjoy while winding through the steep hills and river canyons is unparalleled and makes it easy to appreciate what these old and young generation winemakers have crafted.
Meet your expert local guide for the day in Barcelona at 8.30am and climb aboard your comfortable minivan for the day. Our groups are limited to a maximum of 8 people so you can be assured of a personal and unique experience.
It’s time to set off on your day trip to Priorat! The drive from Barcelona takes around 1h 45m and you can enjoy the views of Catalonia as you make your way to the incredibly beautiful Priorat wine region, with its steep hills covered from top to bottom in craggy vines. Your guide is an expert in the region and will be available to answer any questions you may have about Priorat, the wineries you will be visiting or Catalonian wine in general.
The first stop on your day trip is for a visit to the tiny village of Morera de Montsant to take in the stunning views at the foothills of Montsant. From here you will be able to get an overview of the entire region.
Next up it’s time for some wine tasting! Visit your first Priorat winery of the day for a tour and a tasting of three terrific Priorat wines.
After your winery visit your guide will take you on to the village of Gratallops, where you will head for a private tour and tasting at the renowned Clos Figueras winery and estate. This famous Priorat winery is run by Christopher Cannan, who is known for being one of the first in the region and is quite a charming character. Clos Figueras wines are produced with their own grapes from old vines without watering the vines and without using insecticides or any other synthetic products.
Depending on the day, your lunch is a carefully paired wine-tasting menu that is either hosted at Clos Figueras winery or at a local, traditional restaurant showcasing local Priorat wines.
After a delicious lunch and wine pairing you’ll visit your third and final Priorat winery of the day. Enjoy a tour of their estate and a tasting of their wines.
After a day visiting some of the best wineries in Priorat and tasting incredible wines, you will be driven back to Barcelona where you will arrive at your drop-off point at 7.30 pm.
