Penedès is a land of wine and cava, but also of castellers, spectacular major festivals, and a deeply Catalan cultural tradition. Vilafranca is its emotional capital.
Area highlights
- Wineries and Cava HousesTastings and tours at century-old Penedès wineries and cava houses, the birthplace of cava.
- Castellers de VilafrancaThe world's most decorated human tower builders, a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
- Festa MajorPopular celebration with fire runs, human towers and an energy that defines local identity.
- Museum of Wine CulturesInteractive journey through the region's winemaking history in a Gothic palace.
VINSEUM (Wine Cultures Museum) is surprisingly good and almost always empty. Afterwards, the vermouth route around Plaça de la Vila on Saturdays is the real Penedès.
