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 ‘viñedos’ are considered to be some of the oldest of 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 vintners have crafted.
The tour starts with 1h 45m drive to the incredibly beautiful Priorat wine region, with it's steep hills covered from top to bottom in craggy vines. First on the agenda is a visit 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 and your guide will give you a bit of an orientation. Afterwards, stop at a small winery for a tasting of three terrific Priorat wines.
The next stop is the village of Gratallops, where you will head for a private tour and tasting at the renowned Clos Figueras winery and estate. This winery is run by Christopher Cannan, who is known for being one of the first in the region and is quite a charming character. Their 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 tasting menu that is either hosted at this winery or at a local, traditional restaurant showcasing local wines.
After lunch, you will visit another winery and enjoy a wine tasting. Then you will drive back to Barcelona.
