VILAFRANCADEL PENEDÈS

THE BEST ENTRY POINT TO THE WORLD OFWINE

Vilafranca was born as a link between the Christian and Muslim areas at the beginning of the 12 th century and still retains that inclusive and welcoming character today. From the second half of the 20 th century, it consolidated itself as the display window into the wine- growing region of the Penedès, the largest in Catalonia and one of the most important on the Iberian Peninsula. In the capital of the Penedès, discovering the secrets of Catalan wine and cava is a pleasant stroll. Besides its wine tourism attractions, there are many other reasons to visit the city. As well as being one of the most important "Casteller" (human tower) squares in the country, its cultural attractions and its natural surroundings are a must, not to mention its strategic geographical location.
