Before winter sets in, the autumnal season still offers plenty of sunshine and mild temperatures, the perfect kind of weather for excursions and activities in and around the vineyard. The main attraction among them is, of course, the harvest.

This year, Familia Torres once again offers the opportunity to experience the Penedès harvest through three different activities held on the first weekend of September with something for everyone. For wine lovers and enthusiasts, the winery has created the sensory experience ‘From Vine to Glass’; romantic souls might enjoy the ‘Harvest Dinner Among the Vines’, whereas the ‘Family Picnic & Harvest’ is ideal for a family outing. All three experiences are held at the winery’s flagship Mas La Plana estate in Pacs del Penedès.

Let’s start with the experience called ‘From Vine to Glass’, an opportunity to deepen your knowledge of the wine world and discover the distinctive characteristics of different grape varieties, their attributes as fruit and the essence they impart to the wine.

While strolling through the vineyards, we’ll get to know the different kinds of grapes in a light and entertaining way, followed by a tasting of four different grapes and the wines made entirely from these varieties. The experience also includes a visit to the winery and will be held on Saturday, 3rd September, from 6 pm to 8.30 pm.

For foodies in search of something more: the ‘Harvest Dinner’ is Familia Torres’s way of celebrating the harvest with a cocktail-style dinner by chef Sergi Millet, served in the garden of the El Celleret restaurant amid the vineyards and paired with an ample selection of wines, music courtesy of DJ John Jacobsen, all while enjoying breathtaking views. The dinner will take place on Saturday, 3rd September, from 8.30 pm to 1 am, and includes an optional bus service from Barcelona.

When it comes to forging connections and strengthening the bonds with our extended community and the earth, nothing beats the ‘Family Picnic and Harvest’, an activity to be enjoyed with the entire family or a group of friends. After a brief introductory workshop, participants will get a firsthand experience of a traditional harvest day. The activity also includes a picnic with traditional Catalan tomato bread, artisan charcuterie and cheeses paired with Familia Torres wines, as well as a visit to the winery. Join us on Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th of September from 10 am to 1.15 pm.
