Private Sitges Tour with Wine Tasting, Chocolate & Local Lunch

A full-day journey through Catalan heritage, coastal scenery, and artisan gastronomy


This private Sitges day trip from Barcelona combines an expertly guided walking tour of a storied coastal town with a three-course regional lunch, a visit to a historic chocolate house, and a curated wine and chocolate pairing session in the heart of the Penedes wine country.

Your private guide picks you up directly from your accommodation in Barcelona, removing any need to navigate public transport or coordinate with a larger group. The itinerary moves at a pace suited to genuine exploration rather than rushed sightseeing.

Sitges rewards visitors with a layered history that stretches from its origins as a fishing settlement to its role as a cradle of Catalan Modernisme. The afternoon shifts to the Penedes wine appellation, one of the most distinguished wine-producing regions on the Iberian Peninsula, where lunch and tastings are grounded in authentic local produce.

The day closes with a chocolate and sparkling wine pairing at Simon Coll Chocolaters, a family business founded in 1840, offering an experience that draws on nearly two centuries of craft and innovation.

Tour Highlights

Explore the architectural landmarks of Sitges, including Cau Ferrat, Maricel Palace, and Casa Bacardi, the birthplace of the founder of Bacardi Rum.

Begin the walking tour with a coffee break at a seafront cafe offering direct views of the Mediterranean Sea.

Take in panoramic views of Sitges from the terrace of the 17th-century baroque Church of San Bartolome and Santa Tecla.

Enjoy a three-course lunch at a renowned restaurant in the Penedes region, focused on the exclusive gastronomy of one of Spain's most respected appellations of origin.

Discover the art of pairing at Simon Coll Chocolaters, tasting four wines or cavas alongside eight chocolates of distinct flavors, aromas, and textures.

Travel in full privacy with door-to-door pickup and drop-off between your Barcelona accommodation and all destinations on the itinerary.
