What To Expect
Discover the art of olive oil production on a tour of a traditional Spanish olive oil mill near Barcelona. Learn about the olive oil process from its origin to its final product. Meet a typical Catalan family of olive oil producers who will lead the tour and the tasting. Taste different olive oils on their own, with bread, and other exciting food pairings. Learn about the different olive oil varieties and the olive trees that produce them.
Finca Mas Perdut
Only 15 minutes from the olive oil mill, and we arrive at this small winery in Penedés, the region famous for its Cava. The winemaker, who belongs to a family of farmers for generations, will show you the old vineyards of autochthonous grapes and the ancestral methods he uses to produce the wine. After a short tour, you will taste four fantastic wines, from Sparkling to reds, and have a delicious lunch sitting outdoors, next to the old vineyards. The lunch includes fresh Catalan dishes like the famous "pà i tomàquet" (bread, tomato, and olive oil), anchovies, Catalan savory flatbread (the Catalan version of focaccia), a charcuterie selection, and a cheese platter.

5.00We spent an exceptional day exploring Tarragona with Ivan, who guided us through the fascinating history of this city. Thanks to him, we explored an incredible Roman theater and the historic center, while enjoying its clear and captivating explanations. Ivan is not only very friendly, but he shares with a real passion his knowledge of the history of the region and the local wines. The visit ended in style with a stop in a vineyard, where we could discover the know-how and passion of the wine artisans. The tasting of local products, accompanied by delicious wines, took place in an idyllic setting, an unforgettable moment! We highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to discover Tarragona differently, between culture, history and taste pleasures.
We walked learned about history and viewed many historical sites, all while sampling amazing food and wine.

5.00Four of us took a tour with Ivan. He was a fantastic guide of beautiful Tarragona. Then we went to an intimate vineyard where we learned about the wine-making process from an expert, then shared a spectacular, fresh meal that was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.
Fantastic food and wine experience!

5.00We had a wonderful time exploring Tarragona with Ivan- he taught us so much about the town’s history as we walked near the coast. He introduced us to the local vermouth which was served with their patatas bravas annd olives! After, we toured a beautiful winery - and met the owner who was a lovely host. We saw how the wine was stored and talked about many details like how the different wood barrels impact the taste (chestnut vs oak). We were able to sample many wines- white and red- along with regional meats and cheeses (and clams!) Ivan our tour guide was so knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure to speak with all day. We highly recommend this tour- 10/10
Truly Enjoyable!
