We absolutely loved the two wineries that Mariana chose for us! Each winery shared unique, premium wines that we have not tried before. We bought several bottles and wished that we could have taken home more.

My husband and I had a wonderful tour with Mariana. Her knowledge of wine and relationship with the wineries we visited enhanced the experience we had on a short trip in Barcelona. We hope to return one day and would definitely do another tour with her!

This was my second wine tour with Winenium and once again they did not disappoint. I have done wine tours in Napa, Virginia, and Burgandy France etc, and I can honestly say this topped them all.
There were 17 of us and We visited 3 wineries near sitges. Each winery experience was private and there were no crowds etc, very exclusive. Mariana knows all of the local winemakers and together they truly went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect day. This was by far the highlight of our trip and we will definitely book with Mariana again and again. If you like wine, stop reading this and just book it!!
PS- last year I did the sailing and wine tour, also spectacular. The winery we visited overlooks the sea, stunning views, amazing as well.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Mariana and Winenium. We "interviewed" several wine tour guides (via email) and Mariana was the only one willing to custom design a tour for our specific requests. She hit all the marks we asked for and provided us with a first-class experience.
We wanted boutique wineries and personalized tours, which is exactly what Mariana arranged. One of our tours was led by the winemaker herself! Fabulous.
Mariana is beyond knowledgeable about wines and wineries but is not a "wine snob." Our day with Mariana and Winenium was truly the highlight of our four day holiday in Barcelona.
Our experience with Winenium was so outstanding, my company is considering hiring them to arrange a special event when we host a partners' meeting in Barca in the Fall. We cannot say enough good things about Mariana and Winenium. They are fantastic!

My wife and I had a great time and loved the vineyards we visited. Our guide was as knowledgeable as she was pleasant to spend the day with and the wines were so good that we took several bottles back with us. This is a perfect way to have a calm and luxurious tasting experience without traveling far. We will use this company again for future tours. Everything was wonderful!

We highly recommend Winenium! Mariana arranged tours and tastings with tapas at two beautiful boutique wineries in the Penedes region, one Cava and one still wines. We had a lovely time and were well taken care of from start to finish.

We struggled to find a wine tour and finally settled on this one and couldn't have been more pleased with our selection. The host was absolutely amazing - she was extremely welcoming and did a great job planning an awesome day at the vineyards. We could not have been more happy with our day and really look forward to going back to Spain and booking more tours through this company. I have been to many different wine regions and this company was by far the best. I highly recommend this and strongly suggest you consider taking one of these tours. You will not be disappointed.

My family of five booked the small winery and tapas tour. We upgraded to the luxury vehicle option which was a large, comfortable van with a private driver. The tour started with Mariana, the owner and founder, meeting us at our hotel in the lobby of the Mandarin Oriental. Mariana is a bundle of energy and a real joy to spend the day with. She took us about an hour outside of Barcelona to a small winery focused on Cava. We had a private tour followed by a tasting. It was clear that Mariana has developed a real friendship with the winery owners and staff. They were sincerely warm, informative, funny and a treat to talk to. Our second winery was a unique gem of a winery. The winery was originally a villa dating back to the third century when it was a stopping point on a road leading to Rome. This winery can best be described in US terms like a "cult" winery -- small batches, highly personalized, biodynamic, low impact to the environment. The grapes are unusual and the methods harmonize traditional wine making with modern tools. The whole production area is a site to see and one of the most interesting tours we have been on over the years. The whole process is gravity fed and built into a small mountain. From the outside you don't realize the size and scope of what they are doing under the old villa. In fact, the best way to describe the whole "hidden" facility is like something out of a James Bond movie.
We ended the tour at the villa with some wonderful tapas and a full sampling of wines. What a treat to see the harmony of a villa that was started in the third century working in harmony with nature and some modern technology.
Bottom line, this was a great day. Mariana makes it fun and easy. You can see how she has carefully curates the experiences. I would highly recommend this for anyone loving wine or just interested in a trip outside of Barcelona.

Thanks a lot to Xavi and Mariana for organzing this wonderful trip. The visit to Montserrat was really good with the right pace, all possible comforts with a very friendly atmosphere.
And then the wine tasting at the Jean Leon winery was excpeitonally good: the lady responsible at the winery was really knowledgable: wines and food just fantastic.
We would recommend it to anyone with a day to be outside Barcelona. Thank you so very much!

Since we were the only ones on the tour and our hotel was very close to the meeting place, we got a pickup at our hotel. Mariana, our guide, started our tour with a big smile. We were transported to our first winery in a clean, comfortable van. There we were given a flight of wines to taste test. An employee of the vinyard came to our table and gave us some of the history of the vinyard. The production of this vinyard is in the millions but we were given the attention as if it were a small boutique winery. Too soon we we're off to a second winery with production in the 5 figures. After a trip through the production area we were taken to the owners home and treated to another flight of wine and tapas. All along the way Mariana was there to answer any question we had, and to have our van near each time we completed a phase of our trip. We couldn't have had any better personal and informative service. The length of the tour was just right. The 5 hour tour gave us insight into two completely different Spanish wine producers. Thanks for the great day, Mariana.
