Wine Tourism at Parés Baltà: a biodynamic experience in the heart of Penedès
Introduction
In the heart of Penedès, among vineyards that breathe history and authenticity, you’ll find us, Parés Baltà, a family winery that since 1790 has turned viticulture into a way of life. With our eyes set on the land and the future, we offer a unique wine tourism experience where every glass tells a story of sustainability, biodiversity and passion.
A story rooted in the land
We are much more than a winery. We are a family who, generation after generation, has preserved the essence of Penedès while continuing to innovate. Led by Marta Casas, recognised as Winemaker of the Year 2024 by MW Tim Atkin and titled DipWSET WeinAkademiker, we combine tradition and research, respecting the natural rhythm of the vineyard and crafting biodynamic wines that express their origin.
Biodynamic philosophy and sustainable commitment
Respect for nature is our cornerstone. At Parés Baltà we work according to organic and biodynamic principles: no pesticides or chemicals, our own compost and a living ecosystem teeming with bees, sheep and biodiversity. This way of living the vineyard translates into authentic, vibrant wines with a personality that reflects our land.
