The Penedès area comprises three different counties: Alt Penedès, Baix Penedès and Garraf. Therefore, the Penedès reaches the coastline. where you can find pintoresque fishermans villages such as Sitges or Vilanova i la Geltrú and family-friendly, fine sand beaches.
It has a large valley of organised vineyards inland, which we treasure as a magic garden. In the east we find ourselves in an authentic rural landscape, with disseminated farm houses and the villages are smaller. And then, in the northen parts of Penedès you get to higher grounds, covered in pine trees and thyme, classic Mediterranen forest.
