Things to Do in the Penedès Wine Region – Vilafranca & Sant Sadurní d’Anoia

Description of the Vilafranca & Penedés Wine County

Vilafranca del Penedès is the capital of the Penedès wine region of Catalonia, an area best known for its vineyards, still wines, and world‑famous cava (Catalonia’s answer to Champagne). The landscape is shaped by grape growing, and almost every town and village has a long tradition of winemaking.

This page brings together the best things to do in the Penedès, with a focus on visiting bodegas — the wineries and cava houses where production, ageing, and tastings take place. I’m also adding several walking routes through vineyards and wine‑making villages so you can explore the region at your own pace.

Click on any of the photos to open a dedicated page for that attraction. Each one includes detailed information on what to see, how to get there, maps, and suggestions on where to stay.

Happy exploring!
