Highlights & What’s included

Overview

Just 45 minutes south of Barcelona, this unforgettable 6-8 hour private tour invites you to discover the essence of Catalonia through two of its most iconic experiences: the world-renowned sparkling wines of the Penedès region and the timeless charm of the Mediterranean town of Sitges.

Your day begins in style with a guided visit to the magnificent Codorníu Winery, a modernist architectural jewel and birthplace of cava. Nestled among vineyards, Codorníu offers a fascinating journey through underground cellars and centennial traditions, culminating in a premium wine tasting experience that will awaken your senses. The visit to Codorniu could be more authentic, but the surroundings are impressive and the architecture and the Cava are of superior quality.

From the rolling hills of wine country, your private luxury vehicle takes you to the coast, where Sitges awaits. Once a humble fishing village, Sitges bloomed into a bohemian haven at the turn of the 20th century, attracting artists, writers, and modernist visionaries from across Europe. You’ll stroll its palm-lined promenade, discover elegant modernist mansions, and enjoy tapas by the sea in one of its most emblematic spots—just as generations of artists once did.

Throughout the day, your personal guide will be at your full disposal, sharing insider stories, local secrets, and adapting the pace to your preferences. This is a relaxed, elegant, and richly cultural escape from the city—a perfect blend of tradition, taste, and coastal beauty.

What will you see

Codorníu Winery – A Modernist Treasure in the Vineyards
Codorníu is synonymous to the history of a family of winegrowers which dates back to the XVI century. It is the oldest family company in Spain and one of the oldest in the world, with more than 450 years of history to the date.

Manuel Raventós, Codorníu’s driving force, hired in 1895 the Modernist architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch (Gaudi’s coeval) to enlarge the winery. The building built represents the fruitful alliance between nature and human labour, but at the same time it also constitutes a stone tribute to the silence of cava. Declared National Historical-Artistic Heritage in 1976 it’s also one of the most incredible examples of the architecture dedicated to the elaboration and aging of cavas.

For over a century, Codorníu has always done its second fermentation and aging in an underground cellars labyrinth at just the right temperature. In 1872, Josep Raventós Fatjó made cava for the first time in Spain following the “Méthode Traditionelle” and using autochthonous grapes varietals of the Penedés: Macabeo, Xarel·lo and Parellada. Establishing this way a completely new industry in the region and linking the Codorníu brand to the cavas history.

The Vineyards of Penedès – Rolling Hills and Timeless Beauty
As you travel through the Penedès region, you’ll be surrounded by rows of vines stretching across sun-drenched hills. This landscape, shaped by centuries of wine production, is a serene and authentic slice of rural Catalonia.

Sitges – The Mediterranean’s Bohemian Gem
Once a quiet fishing village, Sitges became a cradle of modernist art and avant-garde culture in the late 19th century. You’ll walk along whitewashed streets dotted with art galleries, beautiful churches, and ornate mansions built by artists, writers, and wealthy patrons who gave Sitges its unique identity. The seafront promenade, with its palm trees and Belle Époque villas, offers stunning views over the Mediterranean.

Historic and Artistic Landmarks
From the Maricel Palace and Cau Ferrat Museum to the modernist mansions of the Passeig Marítim, Sitges is full of visual treasures. Your guide will introduce you to the stories of artists like Santiago Rusiñol, who helped make Sitges a cultural icon.

The Mediterranean Sea – Always Present
Whether you’re sipping wine in the shade, enjoying tapas with a view, or simply strolling through the town, the sound, scent, and shimmer of the sea are constant companions—a reminder of the beauty and freedom that inspired generations of artists.
