A low sun slips between holm oaks as the minivan eases onto a dirt lane above the Penedés plains. You step out into air scented with pine and pressed grape must—this is the walk into Can Marlés, a private day that pairs a 5 km, 2‑hour easy trek through leafy coastal forests with a slow, deliberate tasting of organic cava and still wines.

A low sun slips between holm oaks as the minivan eases onto a dirt lane above the Penedés plains. You step out into air scented with pine and pressed grape must—this is the walk into Can Marlés, a private day that pairs a 5 km, 2‑hour easy trek through leafy coastal forests with a slow, deliberate tasting of organic cava and still wines.
The route climbs gentle slopes that open onto wide views of the Montmell natural park; Romanesque stones at the 11th‑century Sant Miquel church punctuate the ridge and offer a short historical pause. Geologically the area is a patchwork of Miocene sediments and harder limestone knolls, which create the well‑drained soils Penedés vineyards favor. Culturally, viticulture shapes local rhythms—small family farms, traditional winemaking buildings and the region’s cava heritage are visible at every turn.
Practical guidance: the walking is easy (5 km, minimal elevation gain) on dirt paths and farm tracks—sturdy walking shoes or trail sneakers are sufficient. The winery tour includes a behind‑the‑scenes visit, a tasting of 100% organic wines with a curated food pairing, and a Catalan farmhouse lunch afterward. Expect alpacas in the vineyard paddock and a guide who handles logistics and interpretation; private transport and bottled water are included. Plan for sun exposure in summer, cooler layers in spring and fall, and a full‑day schedule (around 8–9 hours total including transfers, tasting and lunch). Respect the vines: keep to paths, no smoking in vineyard areas, and photograph but don’t pick grapes.
The guided walk is approximately 5 km and lasts about 2 hours on easy terrain with minimal elevation gain.
