Empordà
Part of the region borders on the Albera mountains and the other part is close to the foothills of the Pyrenees. Refugees from the Spanish Civil War took these routes to escape the country. There are wineries and vineyards all around, the perfect location for one of our itineraries.
The land and the people here both have a strong character, shaped by the Tramuntana wind, a wind that blows through everything. Ancient ruins like dolmens and menhirs. Experience the Empordà plane in this dream landscape.
Wines
Biodynamic wines are made following the principles created by Rudolf Steiner in 1926, according to which the energy of life has to be used in production, aiming at a close relation between people and the planet.
An important characteristic of biodynamic wine is the specific method used for fertilising the vines. Generally, Demeter certifies biodynamic wine.

It is difficult to determine whether a wine is natural or not, since every winery has its own approach. Some prioritise a holistic approach; others focus on a lifestyle or on a work philosophy.
In any case, calling a wine or sparkling wine natural implies a very low level or no added sulphites – sulphurous acid. You will find fruit and only fruit in the wine. The main work is carried out in the vineyard, not in the cellar.

Organic wines are wines that don’t contain certain synthetic chemicals but might contain others, like sulphites.
Usually, they are certified by a local agency, the CCPAE in this case (Catalan Council of Organic Agricultural Production).

Electric / hybrid car
We can use this type of vehicle, the best for the environment, for groups of up to 3 people.
Due to the limited range of these electric cars, we use then only when the wine areas are close to each other and not very steep.
In cases where this isn’t possible, we use a hybrid car instead.
Transport is therefore comfortable, silent and as clean as possible.
