Wine Tourism in Penedès: Tradition, Landscape, and Sustainability
Penedès is one of Europe’s most emblematic wine regions, with a unique identity shaped over generations.

Visiting Recaredo: A Sensory Journey into the Heart of sparkling wines
Walking through Recaredo’s underground cellars feels like stepping outside of time. The guided tours offer an in-depth look at how Recaredo’s Corpinnat sparkling wines are made—with manual disgorgement (no freezing) and meticulous attention to detail.
During the experience, visitors explore the spaces where silence and patience transform wine into a living work of art. From the vineyards to the aging rooms, every step reflects the artisanal spirit and commitment to excellence that makes Recaredo a benchmark in wine tourism.
What Makes Recaredo’s Wine Tourism Offer Unique?
Commitment to Biodynamics and Biodiversity
At Recaredo, biodynamic farming isn’t a trend—it’s a philosophy. Since 2010, their vines have been cultivated according to biodynamic principles, respecting natural cycles and encouraging biodiversity in the surrounding environment.
During the tour, you’ll discover how this approach translates into farming practices that respect the land, producing wines that truly reflect the Penedès landscape.
Personalized Experience in the Winery and Underground Cellars
Recaredo focuses on small-group wine tourism experiences, with every detail designed to offer close and personalized attention. The tour of the cellars and winery concludes with a guided tasting tailored to the type of visit: from tastings of three long-aged sparkling wines to more in-depth experiences with a special wine selection.
You’ll find visit options such as “Origen,” ideal for a first-time experience, or “Temps” and “Serral del Vell,” which allow a deeper dive into the region and long aging processes. For something exceptional, choose “Homenatge,” which grants access to the family’s private wine library. All visits require prior booking and provide a unique immersion in the world of Recaredo.
It’s not just about tasting wine—it’s about understanding its origin, process, and identity. Each visit becomes an immersion into the Recaredo universe, with sparkling wine as the guiding thread.
