Housed in beautiful farm buildings oozing centuries of tradition, this winery uses mostly local grape varieties to produce a limited range of fine cavas and wines (including muscat). Visits range from tours (€8) to wine-tasting courses with lunch (€65 per person), and must be booked ahead. The winery is 7km north of Vilafranca, just northwest of Santa Fe del Penedès.
