Ancient Priorat Wine Tasting & Learning Event – March 9th

Explore Tarragona’s centuries-old viticulture at this exclusive Marco Abella wine journey—where Iberian heritage meets modern gastronomy. Nestled between Spain’s oldest Roman ruins and 500-year-old vineyards, this small-group tasting (max 12 guests) showcases rare Carignan-Garnacha blends aged in century-old rootstocks alongside crisp Macabeo whites and luscious Pedro Ximenez dessert varietals.

Your sensory adventure unfolds in three curated phases:
• Palate Prelude: Sparkling cava welcome toast with artisanal Catalan cheeses
• Heritage Tasting: Expert-led flight through 4 distinct vintages (2 whites + 2 reds), including 120-year-old Carignan vines from Abella’s family estate
• Culinary Coda: Chef-prepared tapas trio (jamón ibérico croquettes/romesco-glazed vegetables/merguez-style lamb skewers) paired with premium pours from your own stemmed glass

What differentiates this Barcelona-region experience?
✓ Rare access to DO Terra Alta’s oldest certified organic vineyards
✓ Interactive sommelier-led education on pre-phylloxera rootstocks
✓ Zero single-use plastics – all charcuterie boards use locally foraged ingredients
✓ Flexible payment options including gift certificates
