Wine tasting and tour at Saó del Coster in Gratallops, Priorat
Here is what's in store for you
At Saó del Coster, located in a charming 19th-century building in Gratallops, you will embark on a journey through the rich history of Priorat, a region with a deep winemaking heritage dating back to the 12th century. During your visit, we will explain the history of the area, including the post-war period when the region was almost abandoned for 50 years and the subsequent revival of winemaking here.
You will also discover our biodynamic approach to vine cultivation and wine production. The tour begins on our terrace with a view of the vineyards, continues into the fermentation area where you'll learn about our wine-making process, and finally, we'll descend to the barrel room where our wines are aged. At each stage, you will taste one of our wines, paired with a selection of local products.
We propose 5 red wines of which at least one is a 2016 or older. You will enjoy a selection of local cured meats, olives, bread/biscuits and European cheeses, each one pairing harmoniously with the wines.

Nothing special...
The gentleman is Swedish, he knows how to speak Spanish quite well, although when there was a word he said that we didn't understand, I would ask him about it and the third time, he asked me if I was a Spanish teacher...
Not a single word in Catalan. He didn't explain to us how you're supposed to drink wine, even though I asked him. He only knows about his wines. I thought that in a tasting they explain more or less how you're supposed to drink. 5 wine tastings, 5 sips, because that's what he poured you...
For one of them, he poured one for himself and we had to wait 10 minutes until he finally realized we didn't have any. 5 sips in total, literally...
I knew he wouldn't pour us half a glass, but to go from that to just a sip... the views are certainly profitable for him.
The best part was the charcuterie board, everything was delicious. Although on the webpage, in the comments section, I put that a vegetarian was coming, he didn't see it, because he asked us if we were allergic to anything... but he did ask if we wanted more charcuterie (not wine, of course!) and we said yes, since I personally didn't eat cheese so the other vegetarian person could, and he gave us more.
The whole tour was standing up, and the last room, where he suddenly does 3 wines super fast, in a tiny little room, inside the winery.
Disappointed with the tasting, honestly...
To eat good charcuterie, yes, but bring water because you'll be thirsty from how little you'll drink...
Very good!
Maybe give an intro for people who don't know as much, about the types of grapes, the winemaking process and show a plot with vines.
Very good!!!
Interesting introduction to the wines of Priorat
Patrick, the owner, conveyed his passion in a very enjoyable way, explaining the history of these wines and what makes them so special and unique. Being a very small group, just four people, the experience was very personalized and pleasant.
We tried five very different wines and, even without prior knowledge, we could clearly appreciate their quality. It was a very enriching experience that allowed us to learn, enjoy, and further awaken our interest in the world of wine.
We leave very grateful and eager to do it again. Without a doubt, a totally recommendable experience.
