Why not do a little wine tasting at some local organic wineries? We can help with advice on where to visit, make bookings if needed and arrange a personal driver if you wish, so you can relax and not worry about a thing.
Take a walk amongst the vineyards or visit an 11th century hermitage
La Masia Alt Penedès is surrounded by protected forest and organic vineyards. The mountainous landscape offers up ever-changing views of jaw-dropping beauty and natural serenity. Our three dogs Rufus, Paco & Lady love to show guests around and take them on their favourite bush walks.
Just a 20 minute walk up the mountain that looks over the property at 900 metres above sea level stands La Hermita de Sant Joan, an 11th century stone edifice that was build by hand by the Romans. At the top of your trek, breathtaking views of the Penedès region and the tips of the Pyrenees mountains await. On a clear day those views stretch as far as the Mediterranean sea some 40km away.
There’s much more on offer…
The Penedès region is largely undiscovered and is locally referred to as the Tuscany of Spain. Once you get here you will understand why.
Wineries as far as the eye can see lie draped across the sloping landscape like colourful patchwork quilts. Pretty historic little towns are dotted throughout the region offering visitors that quintessential sojourn down cobblestone streets. There are no shortage of rustic restaurants held up by centuries old wooden beams and filled with the loud chatter of local folk enjoying a family meal cooked over an open-flame.
Castles, churches, monestries, natural swimming holes & waterfalls, open marshlands & beaches are all within easy reach.
