Priorat has been named Wine Region of the Year 2016. And after a few years’ absence on our travel schedule it is now back on our program for the autumn. It is a breathtakingly beautiful wine region, far up in the mountains in Catalonia. A few decades ago, the wines from here were almost overwhelmingly powerful but today they have “calmed down” and are intense and elegant. The tour combines Priorat with Catalonia and the sparkling Spanish cava. The base camp is Sitges, a beautiful old coastal town near Barcelona.
