The newly world renowned El Penedès wine region is one of the most fortunate Spanish wine producing regions and the perfect destination for a day excursion of cycling, food and wine tasting near Barcelona. The Mediterranean climate produces an amazing range of wines and cavas of excellent character and quality. The climate and landscape of the Penedès wine country offers a variety of fantastic, cycling routes through the lush vineyards and rolling coastal hills year round. Just south of bustling Barcelona, the quiet lanes of Penedès take us deep into the heart of this wine region’s villages and vineyards for a well-rounded day excursion of cycling, fresh air, culture, great Catalan food and exciting wine tasting.

A proven success with wine connoisseurs

This Spanish Trails® Adventure bike and wine day trip can be a leisurely pass through the rolling hills and winding lanes that cross the dense grapevines of Penedès or a morning of challenging mountain biking through the Garraf coastal mountains that flank this privileged Catalonian wine country. The 2-3 hour bike ride is staggered between winery and restaurant stops making this a very pleasant and non-strenuous backroads day excursion that is a proven success with wine connoisseurs and general wine enthusiasts and adventurers. This bike and wine day tour is a hands-on, informative approach to understanding grape varieties and wine production of the past and present. A local expert hosts this day escape with explanations and generous wine tasting of several reds, whites, rosés and cavas, which you are welcome to enjoy again and again at the wineries and at the fantastic restaurant lunch of traditional Catalan fare!
