As a food journalist in Barcelona, I appreciate the richness of Spain's wine regions, which are often overshadowed by other European destinations. With nearly 140 wine regions, Spain offers diverse experiences for wine lovers. I recommend visiting historic wineries like Codorníu in Catalonia, and planning trips around wine festivals such as the Festa de la Verema in Sitges. These experiences not only provide tastings of unique wines, but also cultural immersion. Exploring local wine bars can further enhance the experience by introducing niche labels. It's a delightful journey into Spain's wine culture.
Prioritize visiting historic wineries. Regardless of which region you're visiting, look up historic wineries and book your lodgings near them.
I spent my 32nd birthday at the Festa de la Verema, which is a grape harvest festival in Sitges - a beach town 30 minutes outside Barcelona.
Spain has countless wine festivals all year round, so I recommend finding one that interests you and booking a hotel in that area in advance.
Local wine bars are a great place to try out some more niche bottles.
