The deeper you wander into the olive-scented Catalonian forest, the more delightful wines you uncover. Sunny Spain thrives on its burgundy beverage, and vineyards here don’t just compete for the best flavors but also the most stunning projects. The boutique hotel Mastinell certainly deserves a top spot in the competition for surprising architecture.

How to find it? Here’s a tip: in the heart of the Penedès vineyard, at the foot of Sant Pau mountain, look for a building that resembles a stack of bottles in a cellar, with shutters that mimic champagne bubbles. And the wine? They have plenty to boast about! Produced on Catalonian lands since the times when Phoenician sailors first tasted the local grapes. It was here that large-scale wine production began, making the world fall in love with Spanish drinks.

If you're dreaming of wine tourism with a touch of luxury, pack your bags and head over for a tasting of local drinks in vineyards bathed in Mediterranean sunshine. And if the sun gets too hot? No worries – you can always cool off in the pool. After all, what could be better than a glass of chilled wine after a refreshing dip?
