The Penedès is Spain's cava heartland — a rolling landscape of vineyards between the coast and the mountains where over 95% of Spain's sparkling wine is produced. Located 45 kilometres from Camping La Noria, it offers wine-lovers a day of vineyard tours, cellar visits and tastings in a beautiful agricultural setting.

The Penedès is beautiful year-round, but late September and October — harvest season (la verema) — are magical, with activity in the vineyards and special harvest events at many wineries. Spring brings wildflowers among the vines. Summer mornings are pleasant for tastings before the midday heat. Avoid Sundays and Mondays, when many smaller wineries are closed.
