  We had such a wonderful day with Joan discovering the incredible wines of Priorat. He knows the region inside out and clearly has great connections with the wineries, each of which offered something unique and memorable. As newcomers to Priorat but wine lovers in general, we felt the tasting selection was perfect. We came home with quite a few bottles and many good memories :)

• Great experience for wine students and affionados!

  We took the Priorat Tour as a couple on March 17, 2026. Possibly because this was an off-season tour, the company was very accommodating in modifying and tailoring the experience to our preferences and needs. We had a great time and learned a lot! We have some formal wine education and have previously toured wine regions in France, Italy, and Portugal. This was our first meaningful and immersive foray into Spanish wines. As we were visiting Catalonia and Barcelona for a few days, we thought it would be a great opportunity to begin exploring Spanish and Catalan wines. Our prior experience with Spanish wines was mostly limited to classroom exposure to major wine regions and occasional tastings of Tempranillo (mostly Rioja), along with some Cava. We chose Priorat because it is one of the two top wine regions in Spain—the only two with DOCa classification (DOQ in Catalan), the other being Rioja. In hindsight, it was an excellent choice, as was selecting this tour company. Our guide, Joan, was excellent. He is not only passionate about Catalan wines and their connection to local cuisine and culture, but also highly knowledgeable about wine in general. He is deeply connected to the wine industry across Catalonia and stays up to date on local trends and developments. Priorat is not very close to Barcelona, and the drive was about 1.5 hours each way, passing through other regions such as Penedès, the home of Cava. The time flew by as we discussed local culture, traditions, geography, wine, and food. Joan also provided great restaurant recommendations in Barcelona and introduced us to an exciting development in sparkling wines from Penedès, Corpinnat. Perhaps we will explore that further on a future visit. We visited three small, family-run wineries in Priorat. Joan had personal relationships with the winemakers, which made for very engaging and insightful conversations. It is remarkable how rugged and arid the terroir is in Priorat, and how much manual labor goes into producing these wines. The wines were of high quality and absolutely delicious. We brought a few bottles back with us for further tasting and would consider ordering more in the future. The tour also included a lunch stop at a delightful mountaintop restaurant that is part of another winery. The food was exquisite, and the wine pairings were excellent. Overall, this was a wonderful day filled with fun, learning, and exceptional wines. If you have more than a casual interest in wine, we highly recommend considering Wino Tours and their offerings.

• Great experience

  Ivan coordinated everything and we sat back- drank, had fun, relaxed and enjoyed every second of it! We had the owners of two (Clos Dominic and Cal Pla) and manager of Mas Doix do a tasting with behind the scenes tours! Would recommend to all and not change a single thing! We can’t wait to drink what we brought home and tell all of our friends how special it was! The lunch at Brot’s was truly Michelin quality and a must go back! Don’t chance it with anyone else, but Ivan-he’s the best of the best -smart-reliable and fun!

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

• 4th Tour with Ivan the Great!

  I have been going to BCN for work for a few years and and try to do some tours each trip. I discovered Ivan on a trip a few years ago. This was the fourth trip. I’ve done with him this time. He picked us up at our hotel in Priorat, which he recommended. It was a great little seven room hotel in Mount Saint highly recommended and well priced. We visited three good wineries and hada fantastic lunch at Brots (Michelin recommended). I really appreciate the work he does to find smaller family owned wineries producing great products. Clos Dominic was fantastic wines and spectacular vineyard, the owner/winemaker did our tasting in the cellar. Very cool. I travel for wine regularly on long conventions etc as an amateur, not an industry professional. Book with confidence. Ivan is great. He can customize for you and speaks perfect English. If you have been to Napa get ready to learn what a ripoff it is and how great the priorat wines are.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

• A MUST on your visit to the Barcelona region!

  I had a fantastic experience with Wino Tours exploring the Priorat wine region just outside Barcelona. Joan was an extremely knowledgeable and friendly tour guide, providing the group with history, details on the geography of the land, stories, fun facts, and great tips for places to eat and drink back in the city - to complement our trip. The wineries each had their own unique story, and we even finished our last tasting in the middle of a vineyard! Would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone even remotely interested in wine, and a perfect day trip with safe and private transportation included! Thanks again!

• An informative and fun day of great wine

  This was a spectacular day of exploring the wine and food of Priorat, led by Joan, whose training, experience and connections in the wine business made him an amazing resource throughout the journey. The three wineries we visited in Porrera and Gratallops were all impressive operations, though all on different scales. It was amazing to learn, and to see up close, how these small wineries had turned Priorat into a DOQ in a remarkably short time, and to taste wines going back more than two decades. We highly recommend this tour if you have any interest in wine!

• Excellent Tour!

  We had an excellent tour of Priorat with Joan. We were picked up in Barcelona, and Joan gave us a lot of interesting background on the history and wine of the region. We first stopped at a small family winery, toured the facilities, and did a tasting. The second stop included both lunch and a tasting. Finally, we did a third stop at another small winery. All the wine makers were very informative, and the wine was great. Highly recommend!

• A unique and private Priorat tour.

  We had a fantastic tour of three wineries in the Priorat region with our guide, Joan. His selection of wineries gave us a unique glimpse into the character of the region and an opportunity to not only taste the wine, but also interact with the wine makers directly. The lunch at the second winery was a highlight and I would highly recommend the tasting menu with wine pairing for the full experience. Overall, Joan gave us not only a fantastic wine experience but also context and history of the Catalonian region. I highly recommend this tour!
