\u201cUnleashing emotions\u2026 that\u2019s what happens when you open a bottle of wine from the six D.O.s of the province of Tarragona, a legacy left by the Romans of ancient Tarraco and perfected by the monks of the Middle Ages.\u201d<\/strong>

Wine tourism<\/strong> is an activity that, as its name suggests, involves exploring a place, a city, a region, or a country through its wine-growing regions and the wines produced there. It is a type of tourism that can be described as rural<\/strong> and encompasses a variety of activities, depending largely on the location where it takes place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On peut bien \u00e9videmment pratiquer l\u2019\u0153notourisme en Espagne<\/strong> \u00e0 proximit\u00e9 du camping La Pineda. La province de Tarragone est une terre de vignes depuis l’Antiquit\u00e9<\/strong>. Les Romains de l’ancienne Tarraco furent les premiers \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper la viticulture sur ces sols g\u00e9n\u00e9reux, un h\u00e9ritage ensuite perfectionn\u00e9 par les moines cisterciens au Moyen \u00c2ge<\/a>. Aujourd’hui, six appellations d’origine <\/strong>(DO) font de la r\u00e9gion l’une des destinations d’\u0153notourisme les plus riches d’Espagne<\/strong>, accessible en quelques minutes depuis le camping La Pineda pr\u00e8s de Salou<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Tour of Vineyards<\/strong> in the Tarragona Designation of Origin (DO)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tarragona, like the vineyard, is one of the symbols of Mediterranean culture<\/strong>, and it is this very vineyard that is one of the hallmarks of the Costa Dorada. The landscape shaped by these vineyards, the vast cultivated expanses, and the harvested produce simply define the region\u2019s character and history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The province of Tarragona has six DO regions: Tarragona, Priorat, Montsant, Conca de Barber\u00e0, Pened\u00e8s, and Terra Alta<\/strong>. Each one expresses a unique terroir, shaped by the Mediterranean climate, slate or limestone soils, and varying altitudes ranging from the coastal plain to the mountainous hinterland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Priorat DO is <\/strong>the most prestigious: recognized as one of only two AOCs in Spain, along with Rioja, it produces red wines with remarkable intensity<\/strong>, made from old Grenache and Carignan vines growing<\/strong> on black schist (llicorella). The surrounding DO Montsant offers more accessible wines with excellent value for money. Tarragona, Conca de Barber\u00e0, and Terra Alta round out the picture with fresh whites, expressive ros\u00e9s, and fruity reds. Most wineries in the province of Tarragona offer tours<\/a> with tastings by appointment. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
