It was a great experience to visit the vineyards following the interesting explanations of Josep, the owner and winemaker of the Celler. We learned a lot about the vines and the Terra Alta. Afterwards we had the opportunity to taste four highly recommended wines and even a 7-year-old vinegar that was a pleasant surprise for the palate. You have to go!!!

We had a unique and unparalleled experience. It was the first time I attended a tasting and the truth is that all my expectations were met. Paula is an excellent host and her way of explaining each wine was majestic; without a doubt I would do this experience again because it was incredible. 100% recommended.

On Friday afternoon we paired it with cheese and white wine... spectacular!!!! (and at a very, very reasonable price) The next day we did a tasting so as not to miss the red wines. It is a very authentic winery where you can easily immerse yourself in the past. The explanations of Josep and his staff They exude love for their ancestors, for the products of Terra Alta and its traditions.

Great discovery, tasting of quality wines and very interesting explanations. Do not hesitate to visit this place full of riches and good food products. Tasting formula 3 or 5 wines. The owner of the place takes the time to explain everything to you. Beautiful surprising discoveries such as balsamic vinegar and wines from small productions. Purchase on site or order from other branches. I highly recommend.
