Wine Tasting in Catalonia — The Way Locals Do It
Barcelona Secrets specializes in private wine tours in Barcelona — just you and your group, an expert local wine guide, and a comfortable private vehicle with hotel pickup and drop-off. We work with a mix of small, family-run wineries, where you’ll usually meet the winemaker themselves, and well-known, cult-status producers — chosen around what you actually like, whether that’s more Cava, bolder reds, or a quieter cellar over a bigger name.
Plenty of wine tasting experiences around Barcelona are built on a fixed stop, a set pour, and a group of twenty strangers. Ours aren’t — you’ll have real time to ask questions instead of just sipping and moving on, and if something’s not clicking on the day, we’ll happily adjust the plan on the spot so you leave happy, not just on schedule.

We run three different private wine tours in Barcelona, each one built around a different region and pace. Not sure which one fits you best? Here’s a quick comparison.

🥂 Wine & Cava Tour to Penedès
Penedès is the closest major wine region to Barcelona — the birthplace of sparkling Cava and home to the prestigious Corpinnat producers.
Choose between a half-day tour (2 wineries, guided tastings, ~5 hours) or the full experience with a traditional Catalan lunch (6–7 hours). Both include a short vineyard walk plus a detailed cellar tour.
“Pavel was very knowledgeable about Cava and brought us to great smaller wineries. A wonderful day in Penedès.” — Emilia, UK “We visited a family-owned vineyard, saw every step of the process, and tasted with the owner. A must do if in Barcelona.” — Selena P., Colorado
🍷 Wine Tour to Priorat
Priorat is world famous for powerful, mineral-driven red wines from old vines of Garnatxa and Carinyena rooted in unique llicorella slate soil. It’s a full 10 hour day, but for red wine lovers it’s unmatched.
The tour visits 2-3 boutique family wineries — optionally including celebrated producers such as Clos Mogador, Mas Martinet or Perinet.
“The wineries were all small, unique and wonderful. Our favorite was Celler Cal Pla where we were treated like old friends.” — Amanda L., USA “Pavel is extremely knowledgeable about wine, especially wines from Priorat.” — Michael F., Boston
⛪ Montserrat & Wine Tour
A full-day combination for travelers who want more than just wine: a morning winery visit and tasting in Penedès, a relaxed lunch stop with genuine Catalan flavors, and an afternoon at Montserrat — the dramatic mountain monastery and spiritual heart of Catalonia. Visiting Montserrat in the afternoon means arriving after the morning coach crowds have left.
“We had a wonderful day trip with Pavel to Montserrat and Sabaté i Coca family vineyard and winery… Definitely one of the highlights of our trip.” — Judith S., New Hampshire “We started at the winery — the Cava, wines, and fuet were some of the best either of us has ever had. We ended the day with a truly moving visit to Montserrat.” — KZ, St. John, US Virgin Islands

Which private Barcelona wine tour should I choose — Penedès, Priorat, or Montserrat & Wine?
Choose Penedès if you’re short on time and love sparkling and white wines. Choose Priorat if wine is the main focus of your trip and you want serious, powerful red wines — it’s a full day due to the distance. Choose Montserrat & Wine if you want to combine a winery visit with an iconic natural and cultural site of Catalonia.
Are all your wine tours private?
Yes — every tour is 100% private. It’s just your group, your guide, and your own vehicle; you won’t be joined with other travelers. Some winery tours may include a very reduced number of other visitors, but never a crowd.
Are prices per person or per group?
Prices for our Barcelona wine tours are per group (covering the guide and private transport), not per person. Wine tasting and, in most cases, lunch are extra — exact costs are listed on each tour’s page, since they vary by region and winery choice.
Can the tours be customized?
Yes. All of our wine tours are fully private and can be adapted to your pace, interests, and preferences — whether that means more time at a winery, a different lunch option, or adjusting the itinerary.
Do I need to book in advance?
We recommend booking as early as you can, especially for travel between April and October when demand is highest. No advance payment is required for smaller groups.
