Description:

Taste and toast local viticulture as you learn about wine and cava production in the charming countryside. Then witness the building of an impressive castell (human wall) right in front of your eyes, and if you fancy, take part in this local tradition.

Leave Barcelona behind and head toward the wine region of either Alella or Penedes—depending on the season. Visit a family-owned winery and stroll along the vineyards while you learn about organic and modern approaches to wine- and cava-making.

See the entire production process, from the first pressing of the grapes to the fermentation in the cellars. Raise your glass to the day ahead as you sip on different cavas and feel the bubbles tickling your palate. Savor the exquisite notes in white and red wines and perhaps even explore a new favorite.

Next, you visit a human tower center. Here, you have the opportunity to dig into the history of this centuries-old Catalan tradition listed as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. See more than 100 locals take part and listen to the popular cry for strength and bravery, “Pit i collons!”

If you fancy, you can join a casteller team and become one of them. Or you can sit back and admire their balance and strength, mingling with the locals to learn more about this ancient tradition.
