Full day tour specially created for wine lovers in a luxury saloon bus!
First stop will be at the spectacular main Torres’s Wine Cellars for living a unique and exclusive experience. The visit will start with the history of the Torres family, continuing with the life cycle of the wine plant during multimedia presentation. You will take a train tour through the “Mas la Plana” vineyard and the whole production plant. Then you will enjoy a multisensory visit, an exciting journey back in time that will show the best kept secrets of winemaking from its very origins and give a chance to survey the barrels that hold our estate wines. Finally you will feel a privileged guided visit through two different cellars and vineyard garden demonstrating many different varieties and pruning methods. The varieties and pruning types sample area, where you can learn and live the cycle of vineyard. The tour is adapted to the different seasons of the year:
---- Spring: Budding and flowering of the vines according to the different varieties, non-pesticide protection, growth of branches and leaves, blooming and early formation of the grapes.
---- Summer: Continued vegetative growth, ripening of the grapes (veraison), and yeast formation on skins of grapes.
---- Autumn: Explanation of the different grape varietals’ harvest (early and late ripening grapes), wine production subzones within Do´s, harvest methods and grape tasting.
At the end of the visit you will enjoy a Brunch with a commented taste of three wines in a special and private salon.
After this authentic journey into wine’s world, we will take you to one of the most prestigious "boutique" cellars of cava, Llopart. During the Tour you will have the opportunity to explore the private country house of the Llopart family inherited by Bernardus Leopardy in the XIV Century. Over the centuries, the small cellar in the house basement was converted into the place where, in 1887, the first bottle of Llopart cava was produced. In this charming old winery you will experience a trip to the past with the tasting of our most emblematic and exclusive cava: Original Gran Reserva 1887.
The experience will continue by visiting one of our oldest vineyards: “La vinya de Paulino” with vines that are more than 75 years old. The tour continues to the current facilities where all products of Llopart´s range of cavas are produced. Once we get to our ExVite tasting room, you will have the chance to enjoy two more tastings of different kinds of their cava Gran Reserva. With the cava some finger-food buffet of local products will also be served including bread topped with tomatoes, cold meats and cheese.
