Je recommande cette compagnie a tous et toutes. Service très courtois, professionnel et personnalisé. Nous avons visité deux vignobles dans la région de Pénedès et ce fut mémorable et très intéressant. Nous avons été plus que satisfait avec notre expérience et avec l’organisation de l’équipe de Barcelona Discovery sans aussi dire que le rapport qualité prix est imbattable.

This was absolutely hands down the best part of my trip to Barcelona. Booked the Vineyard and wine tasting private tour with Barcelona Discovery for late October 2018. Melanie picked me up at hotel and drove me first to a gorgeous family run small production vineyard. The owner was gracious enough to provide the tour and the fascinating history behind the vineyard and the process of how they make their wines. Afterwards, had a taste of the four different kinds of wine. So good! After that Melanie drove me to the cava vineyard, where i was given a tour of the of the production, history and caves of where the cava is made, processed and stored. Such a cool thing to see! After we had 5 different cava tastings paired with some delicious bites. I ordered a bunch of wine from the first vineyard and cava from the second vineyard and Melanie helped me with some translations and the process of getting it shipped to my home in the US. Melanie from Barcelona Discovery was incredibly patient, never rushed any of the tours and even had a great conversation about Barcelona and the wine region we were driving too. Overall – it was a such a great experience and everyone should do this tour!

Melanie at Barcelona Discovery went over the top to make suggestions and help me design a tour that was absolutely PERFECT for my group. It cost a bit more than some other options, but it was worth it to get an excellent custom-tailored experience with quality service and amenities. My friends and I have not stopped talking about it!

Melanie was our guide for a Penedes cava and wine tasting tour. She was amazing! She was friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. She and her driver picked us up from our apartment. We started with the cava tasting, which was very informative and interesting. We also enjoyed going into the vineyards before doing a wine tasting. We were traveling with children and they, too, had a “wine” (juice) tastings along with the adults. What I loved most about our tour, beside our lovely guide, was not feeling rushed. Melanie let us set our own pace and never mentioned a schedule. I was so impressed with the service that I decided to hire Barcelona Discovery for another tour to Sagrada Familia.
I highly recommend this company for a more personal and specialized tour.

From the moment Paco picked us up at our airbnb in the Mercedes van, the trip was fantastic. There were only 5 of us so we were able to see and hear every word from the guides at Can Bas in the Penedes region. Our guide, Ariadna, gave great explanations of the wines and the reasons for using each glass. Part of our tour was in the rain and even that was calming and interesting. All 5 of us give the tour 10 stars out of 5!!
