Barcelona Electric Bike Tour: Alta Alella Winery Visit and Wine Tasting

Barcelona, Spain

Discover the Catalan coast and visit a prestigious winery on a 5.5-hour electric bike tour from Barcelona. With an expert guide, minimize your effort and maximize your time as you cycle through Barcelona’s most famous districts and along the coast. Soak up the sun, sea and sights, and pass through the towns of Badalona, Montgat, El Masnou and Alella on route to the Alta Alella Winery. Enjoy a winery tour and learn about organic winemaking, then partake in a guided tasting. Numbers limited to 12, ensuring a small-group experience.

Choose from a morning or afternoon departure, and then meet your guide and small group in central Barcelona to begin your 50-mile (80-km) bike tour. Hop aboard your electric bike: a two-wheeled bicycle with an electric motor. Listen to a safety briefing, then strap on your helmet and set off behind your guide. The pace is leisurely and avoids main streets, allowing you to listen to your guide and take in the sights as you cycle.

Soak up the architecture and scenery as you ride along the narrow, winding streets of the Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic) to Barcelona’s buzzing waterfront. Traverse the maze-like streets of La Barceloneta and gaze out over the shimmering Mediterranean Sea as you cruise by the city’s long beach, stopping every now and then to take photos and learn more about the city’s history. You’ll also pass the Catalonian towns of Badalona, Montgat, El Masnou and Alella.

After around 1.5 hours, arrive at Alta Alella Winery in Serralada de Marina Natural Park. Meet with one of the winemakers, hop off your bike and head out into the vineyards. As you stroll amid the vines, learn how the area has a rich viticulture heritage, with wine having been produced here since the time of the Ancient Romans. Then, head inside the winery’s buildings and cellar to learn about the organic farming and winemaking process.

Following your tour of the winery, take part in a guided wine tasting. Sample three types of wine, paired with local delicacies. Savor the delicate bouquet of flavors in each wine and pick up tips on how to identify the varying aromas and ingredients.

When your tasting is over, hop back on your electric bike and enjoy a leisurely cycle back to Barcelona, where your tour concludes at the original start point.

We loved this tour! Gaurav was a great guide- relaxed and fun and knowledgable. He even provided some great food recommendations at the end. The bike ride is easy enough with the ebikes. They help significantly and it only got a little bit difficult at the end when we reached the hills. We were a little sore from the seats more than from the ride haha. We rode along the beautiful coast nearly the whole way. The winery was beautiful and we got to try 4 different types of delicious wine and take a tour though I will say the winery we went to wasn't actually Alta Alella, it was a different one called Bouquet d'Alella. We biked a short way back to the train station and brought our bikes on the train back to Barcelona where we again had a short ride back to the shop. We definitely recommend this tour!

Pablo was an awesome and exciting bike leader and guide. He kept our group of 10 riders together for a very safe ride, plus provided great detail and information on all the sites we visited.

Tour should be cancelled. Bikes not well maintained, equipment power assisted, not electric as others in the area, poor description of level of fitness required. Very disappointed as well as the other five people who participated in this tour

Alta Alella Winery is incredible and I definitely recommend going there. The bike tour of the portion is a lot of fun but it is a very intense bike ride Approx. 30 miles. The last legs of the trip are up very steep inclines. If you are an active person this tour is awesome and I would recommend it.

This was the highlight of our trip! Our guide was awesome, the winery was lovely and gracious. The ride is not for one who is not in shape, it was about 17 miles and the bikes are partially electric, I loved that! I needed a good workout._br/_ I highly recommend this adventure!

This tour was by far our favorite part of our trip to Spain! Our guide was so much fun and really added to the experience. We had so much fun on this trip and the winery we visited was stunning! It was located just on the outskirts of Barcelona and looked out over the Mediterranean Sea.
