Wine tours

Since 1910, this small family cellar has produced traditional artisan wines. Recently, the winery has adopted new techniques of fermentation and the aging of the wine in barrels of French and Hungarian oak. The vineyards of the winery, La Plantadeta and Mas d’en Bernat, are found at the foot of the Montsant mountain range.

In 1997, three friends, a winemaker, a teacher and a priest, founded a small winery on the priest’s property in the emblematic hamlet of Escaladei, cradle of the Priorat.
They make wine from their own vineyards. These wines, recognised internationally, are a true reflection of the history and culture of this wine region.

Celler Cecilio is a family firm dedicated to the making of wines since 1942 and founded by the father of the present owner. Within its walls, one can appreciate the charm and spirit of more than 60 years of uninterrupted wine making. Celler Cecilio was the first winery to register with the Regulatory Body of the DOQ Priorat

Mas Blanc is an estate where three generations of wine growers from another wine-growing region of Catalonia have found an outlet for their skills by creating a new winery, thereby demonstrating their love of the land and a commitment to nature through their organic and biodynamic approach. Using the best technology and with a firm will to make good wines, in 2004 they at last managed to see the result of their labours.

This is a small family business, dedicated to the production and aging of quality wines. The winery produces around 15,000 bottles, selling primarily two brands, Pater and Élia. Another aim of the winery is to bring the culture of the region to a wider audience, together with the wine and the land that produced it.

The winery was founded in 1917 as part of the cooperative movement that began in the early twentieth century. There are three large buildings that were built over time due to expansion in the 1970s and 1990s. Most notable is the building where the wine goes through the process of carbonic maceration in horizontal rotating vats. There is also an olive oil mill.

Mas de les Vinyes is a family winery founded in 1999, but has a long tradition of growing vines and fruit trees. Visiting this winery is an intimate experience, very helpful for those who are interested in the way a small winery works, particularly in a winery that does not turn its back on the use of new technolgy in order to maintain the aim of achieving the best quality in its wines.

This cellar was built in 1919 in the late Modernist style (Catalan Art Nouveau), designed by the architect Cèsar Martinell, friend and disciple of Antoni Gaudí. It forms part of the route ‘Cathedrals of Wine’ within the Tarragona area. Its most notable features are the facade, inspired by the medieval period, and the parabolic arches inside the building.

The winery of Capçanes breaks the mold. In a small village of only 400 people, surrounded by ancient vines, this cooperative is proud of its Catholic tradition, now working harmoniously with the Jewish community. Since 1995 Flor de Primavera, one of the best kosher wines in the world, has been made here under the strict supervision of a Rabi – a complete experience bringing together the mystery of Jewish culture and a unique wine within the walls of the cellar every year. The characteristics of the land, severe but rewarding, are said to be similar to those of its inhabitants who work valiently to show how wines are made in Capçanes: with enthusiasm.
