Barcelona’s favourite wine region is a short ride from the city. This four-day Penedès bike and wine tour climbs out of Barcelona over Tibidabo, follows the Llobregat to Martorell and then spends three days on vineyard gravel, quiet lanes and cava cellars, with boutique hotels and a wine tasting along the way.

Day 2 · Vilafranca to the Garraf Natural Park
62 km · 800 m
A loop through endless vineyards on small roads and paths, including a short gravel ramp that touches 13%. Every village has its cellar or cooperative, so lunch and a tasting are never far away.

When to go and who it is for
Spring brings green vines and flowers; September and October are harvest season, the most atmospheric time to visit cellars. It suits regular cyclists who are happy on gravel; an e-bike makes the climbs out of Barcelona and up the Garraf much easier.
