Codorníu

Codorníu is the world's oldest cava producer (founded 1551) and the most spectacular winery visit in the Penedès. The modernist cellars, designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch (the same architect behind Barcelona's Palau de la Música), are a national heritage site — 30 km of underground tunnels, with a small train ride underground included. Tasting comes at the end with three house cavas. It's touristy, yes, but the scale and architecture earn it.

Recaredo

Recaredo is probably the most respected sparkling wine producer in Catalonia among serious critics. Mata family, fourth generation, certified biodynamic, every vineyard worked entirely by hand (no tractors), manual disgorgement, no dosage. In 2019 they left D.O. Cava together with other historic producers to found Corpinnat — a more demanding seal. The visit is intimate, in small groups, with a tasting that includes long-aged Brut Nature and Turó d'en Mota (decades on lees). A masterclass.

Bodegas Torres

Torres is the most internationally recognized Spanish wine family. Five generations, operations in California, Chile, and China, but the heart is still Vilafranca del Penedès. The visit combines an introductory audiovisual, a tour through the vineyard on a small train, and a tasting in the restored 19th-century cellar. You can add a meal at El Tast — their own restaurant — worth booking separately. A classic serious-enotourism stop in Catalonia, professionally run with no fluff.
