About this tour
Spend eight-and-a-half hours in the Penedès wine region exploring Sant Sadurní's sparkling and chocolate traditions, 45 minutes from Barcelona. You'll descend into the cellars of a family-owned organic Cava producer, taste three vintages in their courtyard, sit down to a four-course seasonal lunch paired with wine, then walk through a 175-year-old chocolate factory tracing the craft from bean to confection. A private guide shepherds you throughout; train tickets and all tastings are included.

What to expect
The day opens with a guided stroll through Sant Sadurní, a working town built on fermentation and cocoa. At the winery, expect barrel-lined cellars and hands-on explanation of how Cava is made; tastings happen outdoors, unhurried. Lunch arrives as multiple courses with local wine—substantial and flavourful rather than pretentious. The chocolate factory visit is part museum, part tasting room; you'll learn techniques and sample single-origin bars. Walking covers roughly three miles spread across the day. You'll return to Barcelona by late afternoon.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes for three miles of walking across uneven cellar floors and cobbled streets. Not suitable if pregnant. Public transport stations are nearby if you prefer independent travel. Suitable for all fitness levels provided you can manage the distance.
