You round a low stone wall, the Mehari's canvas roof flapping, and the rows of vines seem to lean in as if to watch you pass. The road here is honest—gravel, dust, and sudden openings where terraces drop away to reveal the patchwork of the Penedès: sun-bright vines, scrub, and the distant silhouette of the Garraf hills.

You round a low stone wall, the Mehari's canvas roof flapping, and the rows of vines seem to lean in as if to watch you pass. The road here is honest—gravel, dust, and sudden openings where terraces drop away to reveal the patchwork of the Penedès: sun-bright vines, scrub, and the distant silhouette of the Garraf hills.
This route follows the long agricultural story of Penedès, a region shaped by Miocene soils of clay and limestone that favor Xarel·lo and other native varieties. Nadal de la Boadella’s estate sits on plots planted decades ago; their foundational cava cellar—dug in 1943, twenty meters deep—still holds quiet rows of bottles undergoing second fermentation. The area is part of the recent corpinnat movement, where producers emphasize handcraft, lower yields, and terroir-driven sparkling wines.
Culturally the ride bridges farming and celebration: small masies (farmhouses), centuries-old stone walls and modern winemaking techniques coexist. Expect a short, guided walk through vineyards and the cellar, then a focused tasting of two sparkling wines and a Xarel·lo white in the estate garden.
Practical notes: the full experience lasts about 2½ hours; you can self-drive the vintage Mehari or opt for a chauffeur. Wear closed-toe shoes for the cellar descent, bring ID for tasting, and plan for sun exposure—Penedès is open and exposed. Book at least two people per reservation and allow 24 hours notice for full refunds. The route rewards curiosity: stop, listen to the vine rows, and let the landscape dictate your pace.
Yes—self-drive is offered if you hold a valid driver’s license; alternatively, select a chauffeur if you prefer.
The tasting includes two sparkling wines (produced in the estate’s traditional method) and one Xarel·lo white, guided by the estate host.
The property lists wheelchair accessibility, but the cellar includes stairs and a 20m descent; notify the operator in advance to arrange suitable access.
Full refund is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure; cancellations within 24 hours are non-refundable.
