PRIORAT WINE TOUR

The Priorat Wine Tour is full of beautiful and isolated small villages, with a lively and beautiful landscape, whose economy is mainly focused on wine production. The route through the two wineries offers the possibility of getting to know the excellent wines produced in the region.

The tour will start from the reception of your hotel with the meeting of your private driver who will accompany you during the whole day.

After a 2 hour drive in a comfortable vehicle, the Priorat tour programme starts at the FIRST small family winery in the region where we will have a private tour with a tasting of the best red wines of the region.

MAS MARTINET

Mas Martinet is a pioneering winery in the Priorat area, renowned for the careful process with which they elaborate their wines, making them express intensely and elegantly the terroir that surrounds them.
This winery does not have a family winemaking tradition, but after a thorough study, which began in 1981, of the microclimate, the type of soil and the grape varieties, they chose the Mas Martinet estate to carry out their project in 1986, being located in one of the best areas for making quality wine between Falset and Gratallops. The vineyards are planted on a trellis in the high altitude area in order to achieve a larger useful surface area for the stability of the grapes.

The 2.5-hour tour includes a visit to the Mas Seró estate. There we will taste the Martinet Bru wine. The programme continues with a visit to the Els Escurçons estate, where we will taste the wine of the same name, and a visit to the winery, where we will taste one of the wines in the production process and the Clos Martinet wine. The tastings will be accompanied by a tasting of local products.

The client can choose where to eat. The recommendation would be to choose the town of Falset for the wide gastronomic offer available as it is the capital of the region where we are. We will be able to enjoy some free time to buy typical products of the region.

MAS D’EN GIL ESTATE

Come and discover one of the estates with the most history in Priorat. Founded in 1867 by Francesc Gil i Borras, one of the first Catalan winemakers, this is where the name of the estate comes from: Mas d’en Gil.

Located on a balcony in the South of Priorat, Mas d’en Gil is one of the most beautiful estates in Priorat. Its landscape becomes the essence of the Mediterranean. Holm and pine forests surround the vineyards and centuries-old olive trees.

The visit begins with a walk around the “Masia” (house), walking among the vineyars and olive trees, and discovering the landscape that frames the Priorat, the Serralada del Montsant and the Serra de Llaberia.
