Summer is approaching, and with it, vacations. The beach and mountains are usually travelers' favorite destinations, but at Celler Piñol, we bring you the magic of DO Terra Alta with our wine tourism activities and the festivals that our land hosts.
Wine tourism, an alternative to mass tourism
Sun and beach tourism accounts for 70.5% of Spain's tourism GDP. Images of crowded beaches open many newscasts during the summer months. Far from the crowds and overcrowding, Celler Piñol offers you a unique wine experience where you can delve into our winery to learn the secrets of our red, white, rosé, sweet, and organic wines. Learn about the different grape varieties we use: Garnacha Blanca, Cariñena, Garnacha Tinta, and Morenillo, and become a wine tasting expert.
The path of wine
At Celler Piñol, we're giving you the chance to discover the Terra Alta DO by staying in our old, completely renovated family home in Batea . You can make your reservation here.
With this unique experience, we discover the journey from vineyard to bottle for each of our wines. You'll be able to observe every element involved in the winemaking process, which contributes immense value to achieving the magic at the end of the journey. From the outset, you'll learn about the great qualities of the Terra Alta DO and what it contributes to our vineyards. You'll learn how to harvest the fruit, its treatment, and the production and storage processes.
All our guests will receive a guided tour of our wineries and a tasting guided by an oenologist and winemaker.
DO Terra Alta, a territory of celebrations, sports and fun
As if that weren't enough, in addition to the great winemaking experience offered at Celler Piñol , the DO Terra Alta also offers many activities to enjoy leisure and nature.
A land full of history to explore on foot

A summer full of music and festivals
Another of the great activities offered by the Terra Alta DO is the Terra Alta Film Festival .

Come to Celler Piñol and take advantage of this festival from August 4th to 10th, which will leave no one indifferent.
Another major event is Eufònic , a festival of sound, visual, and digital performance arts held in Terres de l'Ebre from July 4 to 14. Among the artists are Verde Prato, Infanta, Aida Oset, and many others. Each offers a distinct vision; we find concerts, dance and music, and installations.
