01 Mar Celler Devinssi Featured in Eat Drink Travel: Priorat Wine Tours from Barcelona
We are delighted to share some lovely news from the world of international wine travel. Celler Devinssi, together with some of our closest and most trusted collaborators, has been mentioned in an article published by the online travel and lifestyle magazine Eat Drink Travel.
The article, titled “Priorat Wine Tours from Barcelona”, shines a spotlight on the Priorat as one of Catalonia’s most compelling wine destinations—and we couldn’t agree more.
Why is Eat Drink Travel writing about wine tourism in Priorat?
The author focuses on Priorat because it offers something increasingly rare in European wine regions: dramatic landscapes, small-scale artisanal wineries, and deeply personal wine experiences. Steep slate hillsides, old Garnacha and Carignan vines, and a strong sense of place make the Priorat a natural choice for travellers seeking authenticity rather than mass tourism.
The article is aimed primarily at visitors staying in Barcelona who want to escape the city for a day (or more) and discover a lesser-known yet world-class wine region.
Why are these wine tour proposals highlighted?
Rather than promoting generic, large-group excursions, the article highlights carefully curated wine tours that prioritise:
- Small groups or private visits
- Direct contact with winemakers
- A slower, more meaningful way of discovering the region
This approach fits perfectly with the philosophy we share at Celler Devinssi.
Which Priorat wineries are mentioned?
The article cites a small selection of wineries that represent different facets of the region, including:
- Celler Devinssi
- Sangenís i Vaqué
- Clos Figueras
- Celler Pasanau
Together, these wineries illustrate the diversity of styles, histories and interpretations of Priorat terroir.
Practical advice for visiting Priorat
The author also offers some useful, down-to-earth advice for travellers:
- Plan ahead, as many wineries require advance booking
- Choose guided tours if you are short on time or unfamiliar with the region
- Expect winding roads and steep vineyards—part of the charm, but not a destination for rushed itineraries
- Consider staying overnight to truly enjoy the landscape and wines without hurry
In short: Priorat rewards those who slow down.
