The Hotel

We picked the The Ibis Barcelona Meridiana hotel which is 10 min by metro from the centre of Barcelona, 6 km from the beach. Its bar serves snacks 24/24. and the hotel has 143 air-conditioned rooms and Wifi Internet access for guests on a business trip. Located in the HERON CITY leisure centre, the hotel enables its clients to enjoy all the attractions on offer: bowling, restaurants, cinemas, swimming pool, golf course.

Wine tasting

Excellent day out, booked with the BCN and enjoyed a visit to 2 wineries, one Jean Leon, small but interesting and good tasters and then off to Torres not a winery more of a large factory churning out wine , but still interesting to see the two,

cost varies from £50.75 depending on discount choosen.

And we received a free bottle of Torres each

Catalonia is one of Spain’s most prominent wine-producing areas, boasting 11 appellations of origin. Vines have been growing in Catalonia for more than 2,000 years, and today Catalonia produces 380 million bottles of wine a year, including cava, which accounts for half of this production.

On this day trip from Barcelona, you’ll first visit Bodegues Jean Leon in the middle of the Penedès region. You will go on a guided tour and taste two different wines at this award-winning winery.

Then head to Bodegues Torres, where you will learn more about the production of various wines. You will see that it takes hard work to produce a good wine. At this winery, you’ll enjoy tastings of three wines, as well as three cheeses of the region.

Finally, visit Caves Freixenet, the last winery of your tour. Here is where you will learn about the process of making cava. You’ll sample two cavas, as well as some delicious tapas.
