Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Arrive to Hotel Mas Figueres near Falset. The hotel houses a winery on the grounds. Visit the small winery installations with the owner and winemaker, Josep. Afterwards you will enjoy a wine tasting session in the hotel’s lounge with Josep. Dinner in Falset at the region’s best modern cuisine restaurant.
Day 2: After breakfast you will visit Clos De L’obac (Doq Priorat) winery with the owner, Carles Pastrana. Known as Costers del Siurana, this winery, located in the beautiful village of Gratallops, was among those that revived the winemaking tradition in the Priorat. A private wine tasting at the winery. Then we will take a walk through the Cartoixa d’Escaladei, first Carthusian Priory of the Iberian Peninsula. Close to the Monastery Escaladei is the winery Cellers D’escaladei (Doq Priorat). Located in the ancient town of Scala Dei, where the ruins of the famous monastery still stand, it has a long tradition of winemaking, renewed in recent decades as part of the Priorat revival. You will have a visit and wine tasting. Next is an introduction to local olive oils at a specialist shop at Escaladei. Then you will head out to La Vilella Baixa, or the New York of the Priorat. You will enjoy a typical Catalan lunch at Racó del Priorat Restaurant, followed by a stroll to see Cal Centro sausage makers. After stopping by a gourmet shop in La Vilella Baixa you will visit Ficaria Vins (garage winery and Do Monstant) in La Figuera, one of the highest villages of the Priorat. Great Viewpoint over Priorat and la Vilella Baixa.
Day 3: Visit and tasting at Cims De Porrera (Doq Priorat) winery in Porrera. Located in the old village of Porrera, in very steep and rugged terrain, this vineyard was founded by the Pérez family, one of the pioneering wine families who rediscovered the Priorat region in the late 80s. Sara Pérez, an accomplished winemaker, has contributed much to make Priorat wines known throughout the world. Stroll around village to see famous Sundials. Depart Porrera for visit to Mas Perinet winery (Doq Priorat/Do Monstant). Mas Perinet stands in old wine land where almonds and olives were also grown. Since its revival as a winery in the nineties, it has become an important name in the region and in the realm of Spanish wine. Depart Mas Perinet for Cornudella de Montsant. Lunch at Els Tallers restaurant in Siurana. After lunch, you will have a history tour of Siurana and the option to visit a tiny “cave” winery, just set up in Siurana.
Day 4: Pick up at Mas Figueres by winemaker señor Capafons. Full morning winery tour and tasting of Capafons’ Mas de Masos (Doq Priorat) and a tour of the steep sloped vineyard. Tasting of wine and olive oil at the Capafons family house Masia Esplanes (Do Montsant). The world famous Mas de Masos wines are produced in the winery of the Capafons-Ossó family, in the Falset area. For several generations, the family has dedicated itself to the cause of fine wine. The grapes that go into Mas de Masos wines are obtained from six thousand old vines planted in 1952. Mr. Capafons, owner and winemaker, will show you the vineyards, and lead the winetasting. Lunch in El Cairat restaurant Falset. Afternoon free to enjoy the hotel, walk on the region’s walking trails or take it easy in Falset. Optional visit to a garage winery in Marçà.
