4 Proposals for luxury wine tourism in the Empordà this autumn

Autumn in the Empordà invites you to experience wine tourism. Vineyards tinged in reds and yellows, the vine harvest, early wines… it’s the ideal time to get to know the territory through its wines, wineries and vineyards.

Costa Brava’s luxury hotels offer some of the best wine tourism proposals to experience during your autumn getaway in the Empordà.

1- Find out the secrets of wine at the new Perelada Winery

Perelada has just opened its new, impressive cellar. A visit to the winery is equivalent to going on a sensory trip in which you discover the history of wine making in the Empordà as well as that of its wines and vineyards. A unique space designed by RCR Arquitectes, winners of the Pritzker Prize in 2017, and the first in Europe to obtain the LEED Gold certification in sustainability.

From the Hotel Peralada Wine Spa & Golf, we propose Wine Secrets, a complete experience that includes a night in a Premier room and breakfast, a visit to the New Winery including a wine tasting, a tapas and wine tasting session, access to the Wine Spa and a dinner at L’Olivera by Paco Pérez Restaurant with the Sentits (Senses) menu and wine pairing with wines from Perelada.

Enjoy the most authentic wine tourism with this getaway to Peralada, in the heart of Alt Empordà.

2- Hotel Mas Tapiolas welcomes you with the DO Empordà experience

The Baix Empordà area is also the territory of vineyards, spectacular wineries and outstanding wines to be discovered. For this reason, the Hotel Mas Tapiolas Country Lodge has created Welcome to the DO Empordà experience, an irresistible wine tourism proposal that will take you on a journey through the flavours and aromas of a land touched by the tramontana north wind.

The experience consists of a night’s stay in a double room with an à la carte breakfast, dinner at the Mas Tapiolas Restaurant with a seasonal menu based on local, fresh products accompanied by some of the outstanding DO Empordà wines, access to the hotel’s spa circuit along with a visit to the most modern winery in Palamós awarded with several architecture prizes and where you will get to taste three wines and a selection of cold meats, cheeses and olive oils from their own production.

A real luxury for the senses.

3- Weekend of wine tourism proposals from Hotel Terraza

At the Hotel Spa Terraza in Roses, one of the classics of the Costa Brava, they are well aware of the landscape and the territory that surrounds them and how the wineries and vineyards form part of the Empordà landscape.

Their proposal includes a special menu at Norat Restaurant with seasonal products paired in perfect harmony with wines from the DO Empordà, including Martí Fabra, La Vinyeta and Arché Pagès. To round of the experience, on Sundays a visit is organised to the nearby cellar Mas Llunes, where you can visit the facilities and enjoy a wine tasting session.

A perfect weekend of wine tourism, gastronomy and landscapes in Costa Brava Luxury Hotels.

4- Costa Brava Luxury Hotels with ‘Sopars Maridats’ a perfect combination of cuisine with DO Empordà wines

Sopars Maridats is a gastronomic campaign from the La Cuina de l’Empordanet group which takes place each year on several Fridays throughout October, November and December. The dinners pair the tasting menu proposed by the restaurant with various wines from different wineries from the DO Empordà. The pairing is presented and led by the chef at the restaurant along with the winery’s enologist.

Among the participating establishments are the restaurants of Costa Brava Luxury Hotels which also belong to this group: the Aigua Blava Restaurant of the Hotel Aigua Blava in Begur, the Aquamare at La Costa Beach & Golf Resort in Pals and the Aurum at the Hotel Cala del Pi Beach Retreat in Platja d’Aro.

A unique opportunity to enjoy the rich cuisine and wines of the territory.
