FAQs

How to get to the wine country in Barcelona?

If you’re looking to explore the wine country in Barcelona, you’re in luck! There are several ways to get there and each option has its own unique benefits.

One of the easiest ways to get to the wine country is by taking a guided tour. There are many companies that offer wine tours in Barcelona, and they will typically pick you up from your hotel or a central location in the city. This is a great option if you don’t want to worry about transportation. 

If you prefer to explore on your own, renting a car is a good option. This will give you the freedom to visit the wineries at your own pace and stop at any other points of interest along the way. 

Keep in mind that the roads can be narrow and winding, so it’s important to be a confident driver. You also will need to be careful about how much you drink to ensure you stay within the legal limit.

Another option is to take public transportation. There are trains and buses that run from Barcelona to the wine country, but they may not always be the most convenient option. It’s important to check the schedules in advance and plan your trip accordingly.
