About this tour
A private 8.5-hour day trip from Barcelona to the Penedès wine region, combining a cellar tour and Cava tasting at a family-run organic winery, a 4-course lunch with wine, and a 175-year-old chocolate factory tour. You'll travel by train (included) and spend the day in Sant Sadurní, a small town known for both Cava production and artisanal chocolate-making.

At the family-run winery, you'll tour the cellars, see the Cava-making process, and taste three different vintages in a quiet courtyard setting. Around midday you'll sit down to a 4-course lunch at a village restaurant with wine included. After lunch, you visit the chocolate factory for a guided tour exploring chocolate history and tasting selections.

Good to know
This suits wine and food enthusiasts who want personalised attention and depth over breadth — the private guide and small group size mean you're not rushed. You'll walk about 3 miles in total across the day, mostly on gentle terrain through town; it's not strenuous but not suitable if you can't manage that distance. Not recommended for pregnant travellers. The pace is leisurely, so early mornings aren't required. Train travel is included, which simplifies logistics. Infants and small children can use a pram or stroller. Peak season (spring and autumn) may mean the sites are busier, though the private nature of the tour buffers that. Weather in Penedès is mild year-round, but bring a light layer.
