Mas Geli

Who they are

Mas Geli is the project of two siblings, Anna and Lluís, who in 2014, aged 19 and 21, decided to plant vines in Els Masos de Pals, where they had once been grown. Anna gave up an artistic degree for wine: she trained as a sommelier at the CETT in Barcelona while working at the restaurant Disfrutar. Both live next to the vineyard and farm it with organic and regenerative agriculture practices, using native varieties from the DO Empordà. The website does not publish the vineyard area or the specific varieties. The estate lies between the Begur and Montgrí massifs, close to the sea, with sandy and limestone soils. Their wines include Sense Pressa, Notes and Solista, which they sell in their online shop.

Visits and tastings

The winery opens its vineyard with several experiences, all with compulsory advance booking. The guided visit on Saturdays, from 12:00 to 13:30, walks through the vineyard and ends on the terrace with a tasting of three organic wines. Published prices:

• Wine tasting: €21; at sunset, €24.
• Visit and tasting: €25; at sunset, €28.
• Visit and tasting with local products: €42 in the morning and €46 at sunset.
• Premium visit with a picnic among the vines: €65.
• Yoga and wine, only in Catalan or Spanish, at €35 or €45 depending on the page.

Visits and tastings are given in Catalan or Spanish, English and French. The website does not give the duration of the other experiences, group sizes or a minimum age for taking part.

In summer they put on the Mas Geli Fest, with music, dinner at sunset and pairings, and open a wine bar on the terrace with à la carte dinner. They also organise concerts, pairing dinners with guest chefs and private celebrations, and have a friends' club.
