Corpinnat and Priorat tastings at Vila Viniteca, in the Born

Vila Viniteca, the wine shop on Carrer dels Agullers, organises two-hour tastings led by its sommeliers, and among the upcoming ones there are two devoted to Catalan wines. On 24 November 2026 the sommelier Ferran Drudis pits three Corpinnat sparkling wines from the Penedès, from Recaredo, Torelló and Gramona, against three champagnes, from Gonet-Médeville, Veuve Clicquot and Delamotte. On 12 January 2027 it is A walk through the Priorat, the comarca of vines on slate terraces. Both start at 20:00 and finish at 22:00.

Six glasses to compare the Penedès with Champagne

In the Corpinnat tasting you try six wines in Riedel glasses, alternating a Catalan and a French one, and the group is about fifteen people. It costs €79, or €69 if you are a member of El Club de Vila Viniteca. The listing for the Priorat, also €79, does not yet say which wines are opened or who leads it. If a wine does not arrive, the shop replaces it with another of similar value and style.

Agullers, beside Santa Maria del Mar

The shop is at number 7, Carrer dels Agullers, in the Born. The nearest stops are Jaume I and Barceloneta, both on line 4, about five minutes away. Buy your place on the website: places are allocated in order of payment and you get your money back if you cancel two days ahead. If these dates do not suit you, the calendar has tastings almost every week, for beginners, on one region or on cheese.
