Winegrowing and Regional Specialties

Winegrowing in Puigdàlber is more than just a feature of the landscape. The Giró family's agricultural tradition at Gorner dates back to 1595, and Giró del Gorner works exclusively with grapes grown in its own vineyards.

The Giró del Gorner Wine Bar serves its own wines and cavas, along with aperitifs and tapas, on a terrace overlooking the vineyards. At Giró del Gorner, a visit to the winery also includes a cellar tour and a tasting of two wines or cavas. The terrace and the winery offer different focal points: the view of the vineyards accompanies the house wines and cavas, while the cellar tour is combined with a tasting of two wines or cavas.

Historic Houses and Visible Details

The history of the buildings can also be discovered through specific details. Can Ferran presumably dates back to the 15th century. Notable features there include two large dressed-stone portals with semicircular arches, as well as a staircase to the first floor, also made of dressed stone. The Casa Josep Parellada house is popularly known as “la Tenda Nova” and is considered the most remarkable building in Puigdàlber. It features friezes made of glazed ceramics and river pebbles.

A different view of the surroundings opens up from the Bellavista district: from there, an extraordinary view of the vineyards of Penedès unfolds. Bellavista thus provides a scenic counterpoint to the details of the houses: there, the exceptional view is directed towards the vineyards of Penedès.

Church, Tradition and Planned Events

In the new parish church of Sant Andreu, the Vera Creu and a 17th-century holy water font are kept in the atrium. The area's religious character is also reflected in two scheduled festivals: the Festa Major for Sant Andreu is scheduled in Puigdàlber around 30 November, while the Festa de la Mare de Déu del Remei is scheduled for the second Sunday in May.

La Rabassa, the literary festival of Puigdàlber, is scheduled for the first weekend. The dates are spread across May and the end of November, while La Rabassa is tied to a single weekend.
