Citroën Mehari Tour Through the Penedés Vineyards

Context Located in the province of Barcelona, Penedés is one of Spain’s most renowned wine regions, celebrated for its Xarel·lo, Parellada, and Macabeo grape varieties. Rolling hills stretch across the landscape, where gentle winds carry the fresh scents of vine and earth. This tour blends traditional winemaking with the nostalgic thrill of driving a classic open-top vehicle—the Citroën Mehari, produced between 1968 and 1987. ">The Experience** Over 1.5 to 3 hours, you’ll either drive or ride in a Mehari along quiet rural roads winding through vineyards, with stops to learn about grape varietals, local wine and cava production techniques. A cool breeze brushes your face as an expert enologist leads the group to the Miquel Jané winery, where you’ll taste four regional wines and cava paired with local specialties. The journey concludes with a picnic in the open air, surrounded by vineyards and the nostalgic hum of a classic engine as background music. ">Who It’s For** Perfect for wine lovers and vintage car enthusiasts seeking a relaxed, sensory-rich experience. Requires minimal physical effort and is ideal for small groups or couples. Not recommended for guests with limited mobility unless vehicle adaptations are available. Open-top design means not suitable for those uncomfortable with open-air travel. ">Local Context** Penedés balances traditional winemaking with modern innovation, and its community continues to honor wine and cava culture. Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, a frequent meeting point, is known as the capital of cava and offers rich cultural heritage, local cuisine, and historic charm.
