Organic and Biodynamic Farming
Parés Baltà is a family-owned winery whose origins go back to 1790.
They produce high-quality wines and cavas (or sparkling wines from Spain) with grapes that come from their 5 estates, located in different altitudes, from 170m to 750m above the sea. Therefore, they have a huge variety of soils and microclimates which give personality to their wines.
They cultivate the vineyards in an ecological way since the origins and in a biodynamic way since 2012. They have a flock of sheep which gives them natural fertilization for the soil and bees that help them to pollinate and to bring the essence of the Mediterranean ecosystem to their grapes.

Full-Day Tour of Montserrat and Cava Trail
On 12/19/2019, I have joined a full-day tour provided by Explore Catalunya, which visited Abbey of Montserrat first and then Parés Baltà Winery.
After watching the performance of Montserrat’s Boys’ Choir, we were transported through the back roads to the wine country and visited the winery in the afternoon. We left the winery at around 5:30 pm and returned to Barcelona around 7 pm delayed by some traffic.
