Torres - it's at the top of a hill and one can view the valley, other small wineries and the little town of Penedes.

| The have their own little train to take you for a tour. |
 |
| Their own wine grapes |
 |
| The train takes you inside a dark room, which has thousands of barrels stored, before the bottling process. |

 |
| Inside the tasting & training room |
 |
| & the tasting begins - which cheese goes with which wine??? |
FREIXENET - Freixenet is the world's top producer of Spanish sparkling wine or cava. Having expanded tremendously within years (make around 90 million bottles a year!) with hardly any space left to develop their estate, Freixenet has expanded vertically in literal terms - it goes levels underground!
 |
| Let's go for a ride:) |
 |
| The barrels |
 |
| The old old bottles! |
 |
| Old is gold:) Who likes mature wine? |
 |
| Way underground! |
 |
| The little left of the ceiling - the temperature is controlled/ chilly because of the wines. |
 |
| On the way to Jean Leon |
 |
| We were welcomed by the bottles! |
 |
| Wine Grapes - Green used for White Wine |
 |
| Black grapes for Red wine |
 |
| Who likes Sauvignon Blanc - We actually tried the grapes! |
 |
| The classiest barrels ever! |
 |
| The barrel process - crushing of the grapes is now done by machines. |
