DISCOVER THE WINE CULTURE.

Vilafranca and the Penedès..., the Penedès and Vilafranca. Together they are a combination that will tantalise your senses. An oasis of stimulating activities, a mosaic of wine, 'cava', history, art, festivities, culture, landscape, business, gastronomy, etc…

Take pleasure in losing your way through the smooth paths that twist the vines of the Penedès, and behold the image of a big garden where the fruit that is transported around the world, the grape, is grown. It is truly a masterpiece to anyone with an interest in wine culture.

Taking a stroll around the impressive Gothic centre of Vilafranca, be sure to appreciate the wonderful views of the Penedès. From the Santa Maria's belfry, stepping into the Wine Museum or simply going for a walk through the Rambles. You will be pleasantly surprised at the 400 hundred Saturday market-stalls, where you will find all and everything. Moreover, if you wish to discover the fresh and natural taste of the local produce, there is a daily market of fruits and vegetables.

On the second Sunday of every month, you will find the antiquity you are looking for in the Mercat d'Artesans i del Col.leccionisme Antic (Craftsmen's Market and Ancient Collectionism). The only genuine one in the region.

Every month, every weekend there are parties, fairs, theatre, music, exhibitions and many local traditions to experience. And at night you can enjoy these modern cinemas, nightclubs, bars and pubs.
