Tarragona Wine Tours from Barcelona
PRIVATE TARRAGONA WINERY TOUR
The perfect mix of history and booze
Are you into wine? Do you also love history and old stones? Would mixing up both things in one single day trip sound like the perfect day for you?
Come discover the Roman Ruins of Tarragona, declared World Heritage by the UNESCO, then visit a wine cellar in the Penedes area where over 90% of the production of Spanish sparkling is produced, enjoy a lovely wine tasting, and stay in the area for lunch.
A plan that would be hard to organize on your own, and that with your private tour guide and driver will be smooth, pleasant and educational – all at the same time. Plus you’ll stay away from the Barcelona crowds for one day, as we chose small family-owned cellars that only take small groups like yours, and Tarragona is never crowded.

REVIEWS FROM TRAVELERS LIKE YOU:
“We headed for Tarragona and its Roman ruins, followed by a splendid tour of the winery Recaredo in the Penedes area. We were also impressed with the chauffeured service provided.”
“Fantastic private guided tour. We went to Tarragona to see the Roman ruins then followed by a wine tasting in the Penedes region. Forever Barcelona was very easy to work with and helped customize our trip. Marta was a fantastic guide and she has now become our friend.”
TAILOR THIS TOUR TO YOUR UNIQUE NEEDS
Our Tarragona Wine Tours are perfect for those who enjoy visiting old stones, but also a nice glass of wine. They are a specially good choice in the Autumn and Winter, as in Tarragona the weather is warmer, and the temperature in the cellars is constantly fresh but not chilly (precisely for that, it’s also great to escape the Summer hit for a while). August through December are the busiest, and therefore, more exciting times at the winery: from the harvest and initial wine making, to the preparation for the big Christmas sales.
If you are traveling with kids, some wineries can offer them water or grape juice during the tasting. But unless your whole family is into wine and your kids have already an interest in ti, the Tarragona and Sitges tour works best for families.
If you have walking issues or use a wheelchair, take into account that there’s irregular and cobble-stoned pavement in some areas of Tarragona and part of the visit is uphill. There area also stairs to get to the cellars in most wineries: let us know in advance so we can take you to a winery with no stairs.
If you’d rather have a shorter day, consider visiting only Tarragona or only the Wine Country.
