travel packages in Penedès

Experience the architectural soul of Catalonia through this journey into the Penedès wine region. This package celebrates Catalan Modernism—the local evolution of Art Nouveau and Jugendstil—most famously embodied by Gaudí, but reaching its industrial peak in the wineries and manor houses of the wine country.

Mercer Hotel Casa Torner i Güell, nestled in the heart of Vilafranca del Penedès, is a masterpiece of early 20th-century architecture. This boutique hotel seamlessly blends sleek, contemporary interiors with the sophisticated bones of a historic Modernist building. Expect high ceilings, quality wood floors, and eye-catching designer furniture in a space bathed in natural light.

Discover in Vilafranca del Penedès, the historic capital of wine, its hidden Modernist gems following the Modernist route. Vilafranca is the home of three Castellers (human tower) groups. Depending on the season, we will arrange for you to witness the breathtaking strength and balance of these groups during a live performance or an intimate rehearsal session.

Just outside Sant Sadurni d'Anoia, capital of cava, your will find the bodegas of Codorníu. Step into history at the "Cathedral of Cava," the modernist masterpiece designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch and a declared National Monument. Your journey through the Codorníu family legacy—dating back to 1551—takes you from the serene beauty of the winery gardens deep into the subterranean caves of the late 19th century. After exploring these vast underground galleries by train and learning the secrets of the traditional method, you will conclude your visit with a refined tasting of three premium cavas paired exquisitely with artisanal chocolates.

Cavas Bolet is a small family winery with the family farmhouse, a stunning 1619 structure renovated in the Modernist style. You will tour the private museum of ancestral winemaking tools and the family cellars. 

Conclude your visit with a traditional Catalan tapas brunch, perfectly paired with three of the estate’s organic wines and cavas.

We recommend extending your journey into the Priorat. The rugged, volcanic landscape and intense reds of Priorat offer a striking contrast to the elegant whites and sparkling cavas of Penedès.

3-days Modernism & Cava Experience includes

- 2 nights at the boutique Mercer Hotel Casa Torner i Güell including breakfast

- tour and tapas brunch at Cavas Bolet

- tour and Cava & Chocolate tasting at Codorníu

In the Priorat region, located in the province of Tarragona, some of the finest wines are produced, carrying the prestigious DOCa certification. It is a rugged area characterized by extraordinary vineyard landscapes and historic wine estates.

With its inhospitable terrain, Priorat was traditionally one of the poorest regions in Catalonia. Consequently, in the late 1970s, few believed in the plans of a group of visionary "hippies" who aimed to revive a wine industry that had once flourished in the seventeenth century. Against all odds, they succeeded: today, Priorat is recognized as one of the most important wine regions in the world. The area is entirely surrounded by the vineyards of the DO Montsant.

Ora Hotel Priorat combines the charm of yesteryear with modern comfort. Housed in the historic abbey of Torroja del Priorat, this 18th-century building has been transformed into a stylish boutique hotel. It is an exceptional place to enjoy the stunning landscapes, exquisite wines, and authentic gastronomy of the Priorat wine country.

Not far from Torroja del Priorat lies the Cartoixa d'Escaladei (the Carthusian Monastery of the Stairway to God), a mystical site at the foot of the Sierra de Montsant. Founded in the 12th century, it was the first Carthusian monastery on the Iberian Peninsula and the driving force behind the development of the entire region. Over the centuries, the complex grew into an impressive center of art and culture, featuring three cloisters and a majestic church. Today, the monastery is a protected monument that has been beautifully restored.

We largely owe the current world fame of Priorat wine to the monks of Escaladei. The village of Escaladei, right next to the monastery, is now the perfect spot for a wine tasting to sample the monks' legacy for yourself.

The 3-days package includes:

- 2 nights accommodation including breakfast

- Tour and tasting at Cellers de Scala Dei, Clos Pachem, or Costers del Priorat

- Visit to the vineyards of Aixalà i Alcait in Torroja del Priorat

- Entrance to Cartoixa d'Escaladei

- 1 x "Essences of the Land" dinner featuring local products
