In this Catalan wine capital, several standout tours showcase the region’s famous cava production. The essential stop is the historic Codorníu Winery, where a compact 1.5-hour guided visit reveals centuries-old cellars and includes quality cava tastings. I love the 4-hour bike tours through Penedès – they combine gentle cycling with strategic winery stops, making for a refreshing way to experience the countryside. For something special, the private 4×4 winery visits offer intimate access to local winemakers and include a memorable Catalan brunch with sparkling wines. These are my favorite wine tours in Sant Sadurni d’Anoia:
