Set amid the rolling vineyards of the Penedès, the Barraca entre viñedos is a two‑day escape housed in a stone barraca that evokes the region’s 18th‑century agricultural buildings. These simple structures sit in direct contact with nature: by design they lack running water and mains electricity, while their interiors are made welcoming with LED lighting. The program culminates with a guided walk through the vines, a tour of the winery and a tasting of four wines.

THE SETTING

Sleep in a historic‑style stone barraca

Spend two days in a traditional stone barraca that echoes Penedès’ 18th‑century agricultural architecture. The accommodations are intentionally rustic—without mains electricity or running water—but lit inside with cozy LED lights to create an intimate atmosphere.

THE VINES

Guided vineyard walk

A guided, on‑foot tour through the vineyard offers explanations of viticulture and a close look at the vines that shape the estate’s wines.

THE TASTE

Winery visit and four‑wine tasting

The visit includes a tour inside the winery and a tasting session featuring four wines; the combined bodega visit and tasting lasts about three hours.

What the day feels like

What the two‑day retreat feels like

The experience is quiet and elemental: days spent among vines and a night in a stone shelter that strips away modern trappings. The program balances unhurried time in nature with an informative, on‑foot vineyard walkthrough and an in‑depth winery visit that ends with a tasting of four wines.
