Catalunya boasts no less than 12 D.O.s, so it seems something of a sin to drink anything but Catalan wine when in Barcelona. Friends and fellow wine lovers Lili, Pierre and Guilhem agree wholeheartedly and, after leaving their native France, decided to create a space dedicated to the joys of vi català.
Situated in a prime position on Carrer de Aribau, this cavernous locale is split into three areas: a bright and stylish wine bar where customers can order by the glass, a heavenly wine shop and a gorgeous tasting room replete with Barcelona’s iconic hydraulic floor tiles. It is, in short, a haven for wine lovers and anyone looking to learn more about Catalunya’s thriving vino scene.
Keep an eye on their Facebook page for regular tastings and events or pop in and order the three wines and three tapas tasting platter (€15). Grab a bottle of your favorite to take home with you.
