Salt, Saffron and Sea: A Private Road Trip to DO Alella for Paella and Wine.
Meet your guide at Port Olímpic and set out on a short road trip to the winery of DO Alella, a family-run estate set in a 14th-century house surrounded by vineyards that look out over the Mediterranean. There you’ll stroll singular plots cultivated for more than 25 years with organic and modern techniques, learn how Alella wines are made and tasted, then move into a fully immersive paella workshop led by a professional chef — finishing the day by eating the paella you’ve cooked alongside the estate’s wines.
