The Garraf Wine Region – Dicover something new in the Penedès.
Just a short drive from Barcelona, the Garraf wine region is an exciting and underrated spot for wine lovers. Although technically part of DO Penedès, the Garraf has its own distinct personality. The vineyards are planted on rocky limestone soils and influenced by the Mediterranean climate, giving the wines a unique, mineral-driven profile.
Unlike the rolling hills of Penedès, Garraf has a more rugged, coastal landscape, and the wineries here are often small, family-run, and full of character. It’s a region I absolutely love visiting—close to the city but offering a completely different wine experience.
