Cellers de Scala Dei
Cellers de Scala Dei is on the rambla of the little village of Escaladei, at the foot of the Montsant range and a walk from the charterhouse. It presents itself as the oldest winery in the Priorat and links its history to that of the Carthusian monks, who settled in the region in the 12th century; among its spaces it keeps an old 17th-century cellar.
Visits and tastings
The introductory visit lasts 90 minutes, goes through the winemaking and ageing areas, with the old cellar, and ends with a guided tasting of four wines, for €25. In the morning there are sessions at 10:30 in English, at 12:00 in Catalan and at 13:30 in Spanish, and in the afternoon at 16:00 in all three languages; they start on time. Without a visit, the four-wine introductory tasting with an expert from the house costs €15, at 13:00 in Catalan and 14:30 in Spanish.
To go further, the Las garnachas de Scala Dei tasting brings together six wines, almost all of garnacha tinta, for €50, and the Complete Collection, eight wines among classics and limited editions in a small group, for €80; both at 10:30 in English and at 16:00 in several languages. The visit and tasting in the vineyards is a full five-hour day, for groups of two to eight, with a light breakfast, a tasting at each stop, lunch in the Masdeu vineyard, above 650 metres, and a final visit to the winery, for €200 per person.
