Start Time: 10 am or 2.30 pm

Meeting Point: Barcelona Port (exact details tbc upon booking)

Welcome to this unique and luxury sailboat that combines classic pedigree with contemporary comfort. You will travel along the coast and take in views of Barcelona Landmarks and the beautiful and famous skyline. While our Luxury Sailing Boat leaves the port of Barcelona, you will see hundreds of the wonderful and splendid yachts that shine in the sight of all.

After the sailing, we’ll arrive to the Alella harbour and a private transfer will take you to wineries. Expert sommeliers will welcome you in this family run winery, a beautiful 14th century masia, surrounded by vineyards and the Mediterranean sea. You will have the chance to stroll along its singular vineyards cultivated for over 25 years, now cultivated using organic and modern techniques.

Surely one of the most attractive mysteries of the wines of Alella is its very existence, in the middle of the Maresme, the product of small vineyards, sometimes hidden from the curious look of the visitors, who for many years struggle for their survival in an admirable and unequal battle against the expansion of the large urban area.

It has not always been this way, since the wines of Alella have a long history and significant significance in Catalan wine. Known and loved at Roman times, Pliny and Martial are cited as Laietan wines. Alella wines were, in the middle of the Middle Ages, the favorites in the Barcelona Seu, to later become one of the quality wines exported from Catalonia throughout the world, with particular attention to the overseas colonies where there was a large population of Catalans.

After a relaxing morning and tasting their exclusive wines, it’s time to come back to the city in a private van. Don’t miss this once in a lifetime experience. The departure order (Sailing or Minibus) may vary depending on the weather conditions and organization.

End Time: Approximately 2 pm or 6.30 pm
