After the tasting, you will return to the city center in an easy ride along the vineyards to drop off your bike and finish your tour.
Take advantage of your time in Vilafranca del Penedès, nicknamed “Capital of Wine”, and discover the city, at your own pace.

If you have already had a big day, feel free to just take the train back to Barcelona. 😉
