The village of La Figuera is worth a trip in itself, but to make a day of it, a stop at Ficaria Vins is highly recommended. Jaume Roca and his wife, Montse Castro, started their cellar in 2002 and are making garantxa wines from only the vines within the village, showing how unique this higher-altitude, windswept region is. Advanced booking is required and note that they speak only Catalan and Spanish, so if you need the tour in English, let them know when making the arrangements. A visit to the bodega and tasting with three wines is €15; the tour with a tasting of four wines is €20 per person.

Priorat Wine Cellars
For those used to the open-door, drop-in policy of many cellars around the world, the Priorat way of doing things is very different. While many of the cellars are officially open for visits, they require appointments ahead of time.
