Our Tourism Partners: Sharing Priorat the Celler Devinssi Way

Visiting the barrel room in Celler Devinssi with Josep Roca, the owner.

At Celler Devinssi we believe Priorat is best understood through real encounters. Good wine needs time, patience, and respect for the land, and so does good travel. Over the years we have built close relationships with a handful of trusted partners who help visitors discover the region with the same care we put into every vineyard row and every bottle.

These partners know Priorat from the inside. They support responsible tourism, keep groups small, work with local producers, and protect the character of the region. When you visit us, you will often meet guests who reached Gratallops thanks to one of these agencies. Their guides open the doors to the landscape, the culture, and the people who give Priorat its identity.

Below you will find a short introduction to four partners we are proud to recommend: Wino Tours, Spanish Trails, El Brogit Guiatges, and Lotus Priorat—each with its own specialisation and approach.

Why booking a local agency from Barcelona makes your trip smoother and more sustainable

Demure Priorat wine tasting in the vineyard

Priorat is only a couple of hours from Barcelona, yet it feels worlds apart. The road winds through mountains, olive groves, and the steep slate slopes that shape our wines. It is a beautiful journey, but it requires good logistics. Local agencies take care of this with precision and with local knowledge that online itineraries cannot match.

Another clear advantage is safety. Wine tasting is meant to be enjoyed with a calm mind, not while worrying about the drive back through mountain roads. When a local operator handles transportation, you can taste freely, relax, and finish your day without watching the clock or limiting your experience. No designated driver. No stress. Just a smooth ride handled by someone who knows the territory.

A local agency also manages timing and pacing so you arrive at each visit rested instead of rushed. They help you avoid busy spots, find the best viewpoints, and adapt the day to your pace. This turns the whole experience into a gentle journey rather than a logistical challenge.

Booking with a local company is also a sustainable choice. Your money stays in Priorat and supports guides, drivers, restaurants, wineries, and families who keep rural life alive. Well-planned visits reduce traffic, limit unnecessary back-and-forth between Barcelona and Priorat, and help protect our environment.

Spanish Trails — Multi-Experience Operator with Strong Wine Routes

What makes them different: A broad portfolio beyond wine, with highly structured, polished day trips.

Spanish Trails is one of Barcelona’s most established day-trip companies, offering a wide variety of excursions—from cultural experiences to adventure outings—and Priorat is one of the flagship wine regions in their portfolio. Their strength lies in organisation: clear communication, punctual logistics, and guides who balance storytelling with time to enjoy the surroundings.

Because they work with multiple types of experiences, Spanish Trails is ideal for visitors looking for a reliable, well-rounded introduction to Priorat as part of a broader Barcelona holiday. Their Priorat tours keep groups small and introduce guests to carefully selected wineries, including Celler Devinssi. Many guests arrive well-prepared thanks to the briefings they receive before the tour, which enriches the experience from the very first moment.

Wino Tours — Wine Travel Specialists

What makes them different: They work exclusively in wine tourism.

Wino Tours focuses purely on wine travel—and that clarity of mission shows in everything they do. Their tours are built around conversation, curiosity, and genuine connection with small, independent wineries. Their team is deeply familiar with boutique Priorat producers, and they often bring visitors to Celler Devinssi for an unhurried tasting and a walk through our vineyards.

Because they specialise only in wine experiences, their itineraries feel coherent, relaxed, and immersive. If you appreciate calm pacing, time to ask questions, and a strong focus on terroir and artisanal winemaking, Wino Tours is an excellent choice. They also organise transport from Barcelona, providing a seamless day for visitors who want a wine-focused journey from start to finish.

El Brogit Guiatges — Hiking, Nature & Landscape Specialists

What makes them different: Expert guides for nature-based, slow-tourism experiences rooted in the territory.

El Brogit Guiatges specialises in what makes Priorat unique before the first grape is picked: the landscape. Their tours revolve around hiking, geology, flora, fauna, and cultural heritage, creating a bridge between nature and wine. They reveal the physical backbone of the region—its steep llicorella slopes, hidden paths, and viewpoints that explain why the vines grow as they do.

For travellers who want to understand wine through terrain, El Brogit is the natural partner. Many guests choose a morning hike with El Brogit followed by a tasting at Celler Devinssi; after walking the vineyards and seeing the mountains up close, the wines make intuitive sense. Their guides are local, trained, and passionate about the slow-tourism approach that helps protect our rural environment.

Lotus Priorat — Boutique Hotel with Curated Local Experiences

What makes them different: An accommodation provider offering gift packs that combine lodging with personalised wine & cultural activities.

Lotus Priorat is not a tour operator: it is a charming boutique hotel in Falset that extends the guest experience through curated local activities, often included in their gift vouchers. These packs frequently feature visits to small wineries like Celler Devinssi, local gastronomy, and scenic excursions selected for their authenticity and personal feel.

Their approach centres on comfort, tranquillity, and thoughtful planning. Guests arriving with Lotus Priorat tend to enjoy a relaxed rhythm: scenic stops, deeper conversations at wineries, and a pace that prioritises presence over rush. It is an excellent choice for couples, families, or travellers who prefer a beautifully designed stay paired with intimate, meaningful local experiences.

Why staying in local accommodation elevates your visit

Priorat reveals its deepest charm when you stay the night. The villages slow down, the air cools, and the evening light softens the hills. Waking up in the region lets you enjoy the real rhythm of life that day trips cannot offer. You can take morning walks among the vineyards, visit wineries without rushing back to Barcelona, and enjoy dinners in local restaurants that rely on seasonal ingredients and long-standing traditions.

Staying locally also solves the issue of driving after a day of wine tasting. Instead of facing the road back to the city, you simply stroll to your accommodation, unwind, and keep the calm mood of the day intact.

Your stay directly supports the families who maintain historic houses, rural hotels, and small guesthouses. Their local knowledge often becomes the highlight of the trip—they know the hidden paths, the best bakeries, the sunrise viewpoints, and the small producers who open only by appointment.

Staying in Priorat is practical, meaningful, and fully aligned with the spirit of our region.
