Wine route through la Terra del Cava

In the morning:

The Vendrell family's history in wine dates back to the 16th century, but it was not until the 19th century that they moved to the Goma Mas property and worked for the writer and bishop Josep Torras i Bages, who was born in the existing farmhouse. In 1918, the family bought the entire Vendrell estate. The winery is an example of tradition with a modern touch reflecting the warmth of the sun and the richness of the soil, and the colours of the hills and a sustainable approach is essential for healthier products, developed from organic cultivation. Even the names of the wine are a tribute to this:
