September is synonymous with harvest on the Costa Dorada. The vineyards that shape the landscapes of Priorat, Montsant, and Tarragona come alive with activity as the grapes are picked to create some of Catalonia’s most prestigious wines. It’s a unique time of year when visitors can not only admire the scenery but also experience the winemaking tradition first-hand.

An experience beyond wine

If you stay at Hotel Alas, you’ll have the chance to explore this fascinating world less than an hour’s drive away. During the harvest, many wineries open their doors and offer special activities: guided tours of the vineyards, hands-on grape picking, guided tastings, and even pairing workshops.

In Priorat, home to internationally acclaimed wines with its Qualified Designation of Origin (DOQ), you can discover family-run projects and renowned wineries that keep tradition alive. Montsant, with its DO, offers characterful wines and spectacular mountain landscapes that turn every visit into a sensory journey. And DO Tarragona, closer to the coast, blends tradition and modernity, offering accessible wine tourism experiences for everyone.

Plans for all audiences

The harvest season isn’t just for wine experts. Many wineries organize family-friendly activities where children can learn how grape juice is made or take part in games among the vineyards. For couples, nothing beats a sunset tasting with views over the vine fields, making for a romantic and special experience.
