Abadal — Winery in Avinyó

In the Catalan region of Bages, Valentí Roqueta founded Abadal on the old family estate. The estate looks back on more than eight centuries of winemaking history: the visit often begins at Masia Roqueta, a 12th-century farmhouse with a medieval underground cellar. Abadal champions the native grapes of the DO Pla de Bages, with white picapoll as the region's calling card, and red mandó.

On the tour you see the vineyard, the barrel cellar and a small wine museum, finishing with a tasting in which the picapoll is the highlight. There is also a version with cheese, and a farmer's breakfast for groups. Recommended for anyone who wants to discover Catalan wine beyond the Penedès.
