Vega De Ribes also produces red and white still wines, which are also of high quality. Villadelops is another family-owned winery that has been producing wine since the 14th century.

What people are saying about Vilafranca del Penedès

Couldn’t have loved this more!!! Our tour was all spanish but I am learning so it was great. You stand in the sun for about 45 mins then you tour inside and do the tasting! Our guide Nestor was lovely and super passionate. You get so excited to try the wine! They really care about their vineyard, and it shows. This wine is pretty unique. A little more pricey than the super markets but that’s what you get when you do it the eco friendly and conscious way! Highly recommend. Left with two bottles!

Everything easy, uncomplicated, delicious cava tasting and paella marisca.

One of the best tastings and visits I have ever made. Thank you very much
