VisitPenedés is our latest and most current project We put all our 35 years experience into, working in the hospitality and tourism management sector.

15 years ago we fell completely in love with this special region and decided to spend the rest of our lifes enjoying this superb land and it’s rural lifestyle. Far from being a developed touristic area, surrounded by thousends of hectars of vineyards and pure nature, with the great metropolis of Barcelona nearby, the Penedés is all we need to feel at home and completely satisfied.

Over the past years we ran a small country hotel, getting the hang of guest service and well being in the region.

We love being with people and have good times with our guests and friends. We also love visiting the incredibly interesting local markets to buy good food which is always produced in the most natural way.

Our friends say we are pretty good cooks.

Discover the authentic lifestyle of the Penedès and let yourself be surprised by the best selection of unique shops, local hosts, art, artisans, wineries and cavas and local cuisines of the Penedès.

Grand Penedès

PENEDES, A DELIGHT FOR THE SENSES!

The Penedès may be small but it’s full of surprises. It’s a varied region although principally known for its wines and cavas. They say it’s in the “rovell de l’ou” (literally in the “egg yolk”, the centre of everything) thanks to its strategic location in the “golden triangle” that brings together three key elements: the sea, the countryside and proximity to a large city like Barcelona. The fame of the Penedès is worldwide: it’s wines and cavas enhance the meals of kings, of all the families on the Iberian Peninsula and all continents. The Christmas advertisements made by its large wineries form part of Spain’s collective consciousness.

LIVING IN THE PENEDÈS, IT’S OWN PACE

Its own pace of life, that’s what the Penedès has. It’s countryside and cava, wine, nature, its restored castles, its light, its personalities and their stories… All this goes to make a cocktail that is, at the very least, delicious.
There can be no doubt that the Penedès is gaining more and more friends, both from home and abroad. Artists and actors, journalists and families, an increasing number of city dwellers who want to change their way of life without totally depriving themselves of their natural habitat choose the Penedès as a place to live.

EATING, DRINKING, ENJOYING

The Penedès has a wide variety of gastronomy offering a range of cuisines from the most innovative to homemade haute cuisine, from typical mountain dishes to Mediterranean fare and even surf and turf. In fact, the dilemma lies in choosing the right place among such great diversity, among both very high prices and rates that seem to date from the last century, among the most advanced in terms of design and nouvelle cuisine and the most classic and traditional cooking you can imagine. Can you imagine?

COMBINE WITH BARCELONA, COAST & SOUTHERN CATALONIA

The Penedès is surrounded by a wide variety of natural and leisure options. Combine your stay with a lovely experience sailing down the Ebro river or visit the most amazing buildings by Gaudi in Barcelona. Complete your experience with a small trip near the Grand Penedès.

TARRAGONA

The Romans knew quite well where to found their best cities, and that is why they chose Tarragona. Excellent seafood gastronomy, mediterranean beaches, important archaeological remains… Have you ever seen a “diada castellera”? A human tower event? Tarragona is one of the best places to enjoy one!

BARCELONA

One of the most important european cities, Barcelona is considered a perfect place to get to know the true treasures of modernist architecture. Walk around Born or Gràcia areas and enjoy the local lifestyle. Barcelona, a city which has hosted a lot of artists; Picasso, Miró, Tàpies, to name a few, and intellectuals from around the world, offers you it’s entire historical heritage. From dawn till late at night, Barcelona never stops!

COAST

Sunny days almost all year round. Why not spend some of them lying on a beautiful sand beach full of light and sun? From north to south, choose your favourite spot to enjoy the mediterranean coast. Do you prefer sailing? Just let us know and you can spend a day at the sea!

DELTA NATIONAL PARK & SOUTHERN CATALONIA

Endless kilometers of rice fields. It’s no surprise this lovely region is the perfect place to eat paella. And if you love bird watching, there is no better area. . A wide variety of different species of birds can be observed. The southern area of Catalonia combines the best gastronomy with wild nature.
