Rutes del vi de Barcelona

Barcelona és terra de vins. Fa més de 2.500 anys romans i íbers ja conreaven vinyes per produir la beguda preferida dels déus que tant ha marcat el paisatge i la cultura de les comarques de Barcelona. I és que ben a prop de la ciutat pots gaudir de tres zones vinícoles amb denominació d’origen que t’ofereixen un ventall de propostes tan gran que et faran repetir visita per viure totes les experiències que t’estan esperant.

So get ready! In this part of the world, passion doesn’t hide behind a mask.
