What to expect
Expect a moderately paced walk lasting several hours through rolling vineyard rows and between producing estates. Your guide will explain how the region's climate and soil shape its reputation for cava and still wines, stopping periodically to discuss techniques visible in the fields. The cellar visit offers time to understand traditional methods before you taste three wines paired with light snacks. The route is steady rather than strenuous, but genuine hills mean you'll need functional fitness and proper footwear. Bring water and snacks; the group reconvenes at the minivan for return travel to Barcelona.
