Day 1
Private Transfer | Barcelona El Prat Airport
Your Driver will be waiting upon your arrival at the El Prat Airport, to whisk you away through the city to your hotel. Barcelona is a magical city with its unique history, food, shopping, and pedestrian streets - are you sure you only want to stay for three nights?
Tapas Foodie and Wine Tour
At the end of the first afternoon you are invited to experience your first tapas and wine tasting tour. You will meet your guide just a short walk from your hotel. Visit at least three venues: a modern bodega, a classy wine bar, and a traditional bodega. By the end of the tour, after tasting local reds and whites, sparkling wines (Cavas), vermouth, and sweet wines, you should have a good overview of the Catalan wines. Since the focus of this activity is to introduce you to some of Barcelona’s most popular tapas, make sure to bring a healthy appetite. There's enough food tastings during this outing to serve as dinner and dessert!
Day 2
Organic Cava, Wine Tour and Tastings
After breakfast, you will be picked up at your hotel for a short drive (under thirty minutes), to a family-owned winery just outside Barcelona. This estate of approximately 50 hectares (almost 125 acres), is dedicated to the organic production of wine grapes. The family produces Cavas (sparkling Spanish wine), and white and red wines. While touring the vineyards and the winery, you will enjoy breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea; some vantage points will even afford views of the distant Barcelona skyline.
Catalonia Cooking Class | Lunch and Wine Pairings
This two-hour cooking workshop combines demonstration techniques with hands-on cooking. You will work under the guidance of a French-educated Chef with countless collaborations in Michelin-starred kitchens. Two dishes will be presented and paired with estate wines during lunch. After your return to Barcelona, enjoy a free afternoon to explore the city, relax at the swimming pool, or visit the Hotel's spa. Dinner will be on your own this evening, and there are plenty of great restaurants and traditional eateries within walking distance of the hotel.
Day 3
Exploring Barcelona City
After breakfast, you will have free time to explore the city on your own. You might wish to discover the nearby shopping streets, or explore on your own the many attractions Barcelona has to offer. To name a few: SAGRADA FAMILIA, perhaps one of the best-known projects of Antoni Gaudi. The original foundation stone for this construction was laid in 1882, more than 100 years ago. Construction is ongoing. MONTJUIC, with its fantastic views over all of Barcelona, is also a milestone in local history. Many additions were made for the 1992 Olympic Games, including the Palau Sant Jordi and the telecommunications tower designed by Santiago Calatrava; the Olympic stadium and the Botanical Gardens are also nearby. PARK CIUTADELLA / ARC TRIOMF, in the center of Barcelona, is where the locals relax, drink with friends, take walks, run -- it is one of the liveliest areas of the city (during the day). PALAU DE LA MUSICA, Barcelona's "Music Palace", is a vibrant example of Art Nouveau built by architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is full of references and famous composers. The GOTHIC CATHEDRAL in the Barrio Gòtico is considered as one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in all of Spain, with construction beginning in the late 13th century, although it wasn't completed until the mid-15th century.
Farewell Dinner
Your farewell dinner will be hosted in the intimate atmosphere of a restaurant that will capture memories of your last night in Barcelona. Here modern, indigenous Catalan cuisine is prepared with fresh, local products. Dishes are refined and paired with one of the most outstanding wine lists in all of Spain.
