You step aboard a trim yacht in Barcelona’s marina as the city slides astern and the Mediterranean opens its blue. The coastline tightens into a ribbon of cliffs, beaches and fishing ports; the boat hums and the sea air pushes forward, carrying the tang of salt and pine. After a calm sail to Port del Masnou a private minivan rides you a few minutes inland to Alella, where a 14th‑century farmhouse sits among ordered rows of vines with the sea on the horizon.

You step aboard a trim yacht in Barcelona’s marina as the city slides astern and the Mediterranean opens its blue. The coastline tightens into a ribbon of cliffs, beaches and fishing ports; the boat hums and the sea air pushes forward, carrying the tang of salt and pine. After a calm sail to Port del Masnou a private minivan rides you a few minutes inland to Alella, where a 14th‑century farmhouse sits among ordered rows of vines with the sea on the horizon.
Alella’s vineyards are small, sun‑soaked plots on rocky, uplifted soils carved from ancient coastal deposits; the region’s wines were known to Romans—Pliny and Martial cited Laietan wines—and later supplied medieval Barcelona. Today local families blend tradition with organic and modern viticulture, pruning on terraces and harvesting grapes that reflect the maritime climate.
On the tour expect a short walk through cultivated rows, a guided look at fermentation rooms and barrel aging, then a tasting of house wines paired with light snacks. The tempo here is relaxed: a morning of gentle sailing followed by sensory focus in the cellar.
Practical guidance: bring non‑slip shoes for the boat and vineyard paths, sun protection and a light wind layer for changing sea breezes. The outing runs about four hours with private transfers included; it’s suitable for most fitness levels and offers a different perspective on Barcelona—seen from the water and tasted by glass.
The outing includes the sailing excursion, private transfers between Port del Masnou and the winery, a guided vineyard and cellar tour, wine tasting and light snacks.
Boarding is typically in Barcelona’s marina; the tour returns to the city by private minivan after the winery visit.
