Wine Tour, 2 wineries + Typical Catalan Breakfast
The Empordà region is still one of the most unknown areas in Catalonia, only 90 minuts from Barcelona and 40 minutes from Girona, a lot of people only know the Costa Brava and its beaches, but there is a product that though always has been part of this land, today surprises us for its top quality, the wine of D.O. Empordà.
Just having a walk around this area, especially in the High Empodà you will see the importance of the wine in this land. There are vineyards all over the landscape, up to the sea shore, in terraces, to take advantage of the slopes of the Albera mountains.
Small cellars, usually familiar or cooperative that have strived in modernize, looking for the best oenologist to improve their wines and to compete in quality with the best Spanish wines.
These cellars have a small production and it's difficult to find them in the market.
With this tour, you will have the opportunity to test wines that for sure, will surprise you. Also you can taste the Top Quality products, like sausages, cheeses, the Anchovies of L' Escala, olive oil or Foies.
