The Experience

You meet your guide in Barcelona's city center and take a 50-minute bus ride to Vilafranca del Penedès, a small Catalan town in the heart of the wine region. Once there, you pick up your Premium SCOTT electric bike and helmet, then head out into the vineyards with views of Montserrat, the sacred mountain that rises above the landscape. The e-bike handles the terrain and the pedaling, so the focus stays on the routes themselves—the most beautiful stretches of the Penedès wine region where the vines grow.

The first winery is a tasting stop: three samples of premium organic wines and cavas, tasted in the setting where they're made. The second winery is a full visit—you walk through the property, learn how the wine and cava are made, and taste four more samples. Between the two stops and the riding, the day builds a real picture of how the region works. Your guide is there to explain what you're tasting and to keep the group moving at a pace that works for everyone.

The tour runs 7 hours total, including the bus journey both ways. Groups max out at 10 people, so it stays small enough that the guide can answer questions and adjust the stops if the group wants to linger. The minimum age is 15, and while the e-bike does the heavy lifting, the tour is suitable for all fitness levels—the electric assist means you're not fighting the terrain.

Is this one for you?The 7-hour commitment includes the bus ride both ways, which means you need a full morning or afternoon free—it's not a quick add-on to other plans. If you're in Barcelona for a day and want to see the wine region without renting a car or navigating on your own, the e-bike and the guide handle both the route and the learning.
