    Marcelo, the owner and our tour guide for the afternoon, was absolutely amazing. He was so gracious with his time, his knowledge and passion for his family's history and the wine they produced was intoxicating. The scenery and property is breathtaking and the wine delicious. We had such a phenomenal time, thank you to Marcelo and his team for making this a memorable experience. We will definitely recommend to all of our friends and family.

    It's a great experience that allows you to learn not only about wine but also about the history of Catalonia. The links between past and present are physically all around and you can touch them. Even after numerous visits to Burgundy, Champagne and other wine-making regions we learned something new about wine-making, locally and globally. The tour was very informative but very entertaining at the same time. And if you don't care about either history or wine, come for the views from their mirador!

    Absolutely amazing. Very authentic experience as it’s a small family run winery. Someone from the family shows you around, and it’s not only about the cellar but you get to know so much about the history of the area and Catalunya in general (they are very knowledgeable!). You can see the passion they work with not only in the land but also in the wines. They are certified organic and they take this attitude also when it comes to the buildings and the landscape in general. Even for the white wines they leave them to naturally clarify and don’t add additives and they keep their sulfate level very low. On top if it there are also a lot of walking/hiking trails passing through the property so you can make it into a fun holiday too. Would suggest writing/calling in advance,as I said it’s a family run business. They speak English too 🙂

  • At only 10 minutes from Sitges there is that fantastic place where to discover Catalan wines and culture. When you book a tour and visit the village you discover not only how complex Catalan history is, but you also get a great introduction into the world of fine wine. There's a restaurant for lunch on weekends and after 18h a food truck serving gourmet food and great wines and live music! A must for every person looking for beauty, good wine and food.

  • Ingrid ha estat molt amable i atenta. Ens ha introduït al terroir amb una classe per a tots els nivells i ens ha fet la visita fent-nos viatjar a través de les vinyes, l'ermita, la Torre i la bodega amb una explicació històrica de les terres que envolten la finca Viladellops acabant amb un tast amb unes magnífiques vistes. La pròxima visita serà difícil de superar. Gràcies!

  • Molt bona experiència tan a la visita a la bodega com el restaurant. No poso un 5 pq alguns vins del tast que ens van agradar no tenien stock. El restaurant es menja molt bé. Tot el conjunt és molt maco. Tan la Deborah com la Elisabet molt agradables.

    Hermosa experiencia recorriendo viñedos, bodega y el pintoresco pueblo de Viladellops que tiene una apasionante historia de 1000 años. Todo explicado con gran simpatía y sabiduría por la sumiller Ingrid. Visitamos la capilla, la torre de control y el museo con la rica historia de la familia Desvall. Todo terminó con una degustación guiada magníficamente por Ingrid donde disfrutamos de sus vinos ecológicos de variedades autóctonas como la Garnacha y el Xarello. Muchas gracias !

    This gorgeous little winery is only about 15 minutes from Sitges and is a little gem. We enjoyed a lovely tour of the vineyard and by our guide Ingrid, who explained the wine making process, the history of the winery, the village and also Catalonia. The views are lovely, and the tour ended with tastings of some excellent wines and cavas. The whole experience was well organized, the winery is easy to get to and parking is also easy. We highly recommend a visit here. Ask for Ingrid!!
