You’ve been missing some cool activities in the middle of a vineyard, right? And especially now, that the grapes are about to be harvested? Well, our proposal is: grape harvest + wine tasting + nibbles!

This year we are resuming tour grape harvest workshops, because we already have requests to live the experience of grape harvesting and we cannot say no to our grapevine adopters and other Celler Devinssi’s friends.

Save the date on 9 September (Friday), 10 September (Saturday) or 11 September (Sunday) to enjoy Priorat’s scenery and learn to harvest or improve your grape harvesting skills. Continue reading →

This summer, be mindful when using water in Priorat

Posted on Monday August 1st, 2022 by Jordi Ustrell

Today we would like to talk to all the people who come to visit us in Priorat.

This summer is turning out to be very dry and in Gratallops we are already starting to notice the effect of the drought, we sometimes lack the pressure of the tap water.

The problem is very complex and if you want to know more you can read the article in the newspaper Reus Digital: Priorat will study the legal responsibilities of the ACA if the new interbasin transfer of the Siurana creek leaves it without water.

Please do your best to save water during your stay at the Priorat (when showering, washing, watering plants, etc.). We want you to enjoy our scenery and our wines and at the same time we also want to enjoy our home, which is going through very difficult times right now.

Many thanks in advance.

16 June is the World Tapas Day! BOOK HERE!

Tapas is are a great Spanish foodie tradition that has always been linked to wine. The tradition dates to the middle ages, when tavern keepers offered tapas alongside the wine to make sure carriage drivers had some food to offset the libations.

Nowadays, tapas have become an elaborate nosh, with myriads of combinations, ranging from simple pickles to sophisticated savouries, such as pinchos. Tapas pair wonderfully with wines.

Wouldn’t you love to try such a pairing in Priorat?

Then here’s our proposition from Gratallops: Visit Celler Devinssi to taste our artisanal DOQ Priorat wines and then enjoy some lovely tapas at Slate Wine Bar. The tapas are created by chef and sommelier Guillermo Gallará, and you’ll certainly be delighted by his creations! See the gallery below!

Wine tasting with local nibbles. Serving suggestion.

A few years ago, we started offering the wine tasting with local nibbles called “PICA-PICA”, thanks to our guests’ suggestions. The experience includes: a visit to the vineyard (to get to know the “terroir” and view Priorat‘s breath-taking scenery from Gratallops’ angle), a visit to the winery (where we make our wines) and a wine tasting with local nibbles. The price is €30 per person.

So where do we get the local food? We do as much as we can to favour small local shops and to prioritise our area’s commercial network. We stick to this philosophy Continue reading →
