Stops at Sant Sadurní d'Anoia and Vilafranca del Penedès · the way to taste wine without driving

The Rodalies de Catalunya R4 is the line that crosses the wine-growing Penedès. According to Rodalies, it runs from Manresa to Sant Vicenç de Calders via Terrassa, Sabadell and Barcelona, with stops at Plaça de Catalunya and Sants, and then through the Baix Llobregat and the Penedès: at 143 km, it is the longest on the network. For a cava getaway it is the best option, because it drops you in the centre of Sant Sadurní d'Anoia and Vilafranca del Penedès and saves you driving after the tastings.
The two stations that matter
Sant Sadurní d'Anoia. The station is in the town itself. Right opposite, at Carrer de Joan Sala, 2, is the Freixenet winery, and a short distance away the Cava Centre and the tourist office, in the Fassina de Can Guineu. The Codorníu cellars have their estate in the same municipality; ask at the office for the best way to get there without a car.
Vilafranca del Penedès. The capital of the Alt Penedès also has an R4 station. From it you can walk to the tourist office, the starting point of the Camí del Vi, and to the centre, where the hotel Mercer Casa Torner i Güell, on the rambla, and the restaurant El Cigró d'Or are. For Familia Torres at Mas La Plana, in Pacs del Penedès, you need other transport from the station.
The Consorci de Promoció Turística del Penedès also reminds visitors that the R2 reaches the area from Granollers Centre to Sant Vicenç de Calders, and that the timetables for both lines are on the Renfe website. To combine train and bus, it recommends the Generalitat's planner, mou-te.gencat.cat.
Tickets and the Freixetren
The ticket is bought at the station or on the Renfe app. Freixenet offers the Freixetren: for €20 per person, from age 4, it includes the return train from any Rodalies de Barcelona or regional station to Sant Sadurní, the guided visit and the tasting of two cavas. First you book the visit by writing to visita@freixenet.com, and on the day of the visit you buy the Freixetren ticket at the station of origin and hand it in on arrival. It is the simplest way to see a cava winery without a car.
Before you set out
In recent years the R4 has had closures for works and incidents, with replacement buses on some stretches. Before travelling, check the state of the service at rodalies.gencat.cat or on the Renfe app. If you have a timed visit at a winery, take a train with time to spare: on some visits, arriving late can cost you your slot.
A day without a car
One way to organise it is to arrive in Sant Sadurní in the morning, visit a cava winery or the Cava Centre, have lunch in the town and carry on on the same R4 to Vilafranca to walk the Camí del Vi in the afternoon, a level 3.5 km path that starts at the tourist office. Then you return to Barcelona from Vilafranca without changing line.
