About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Wander441450342510 contributionsDelightful wine experience! Love Mariana!The best part of our visit to Barcelona! Mariana is very knowledgeable and charming, and the host wineries were delightful. After a warm welcome from Mrs. Ventura, we enjoyed an interesting Tour of cava cellars of Pere Ventura. Sonja was great guide. Tasting wines and pairings were quite good. At second stop, we met owner, Pere Ventura at Can Bas before tasing in his home. What a gracious host! Highly recommend Mariana’s wine experiences!Written March 13, 2020
- 571tatianaf0 contributionsFantastic company and fantastic wine!My mom and I had the most amazing experience with Mariana. We actually booked only a day in advance and you would have never known it was short notice. We had a lovely tour at Can Bas. She is knowledgeable and obviously has a fantastic relationship with the winery and a deep passion for Spanish wine. You quickly feel as if you are conversing with an old friend and you feel completely comfortable. If you have the option of doing a tour with her, I would highly recommend it.Written January 26, 2020
- 290juliannel0 contributionsThe Highlight of our Trip to SpainBeatrice was wonderful! So friendly and told us all about Spanish culture. She was so accommodating when one of our friends was late. We had the best time! I would 100% make sure you do this tour.Written October 20, 2019
- Ana Cristina V0 contributionsSailing, Wine and TapasThis is one of the most pleasant and informative tours I have done! Bea is a very friendly and informative tour guide, and the entire experience was amazing! The Sailboat cruise sets you up for the great wine adventure to come, and then in the car ride Bea described a lot of the history and towns on the way Vineyard. She is passionate about Barcelona and wine:) The Vineyard is in a magical setting with views of the Mediterranean, and the Sommelier was both interesting and educational. The Tapas lunch complimented the wine tasting perfectly. I highly recommend this for anyone!Written June 3, 2019
- SurLeNil0 contributionsSimply the Best; Great ExperienceThis is our second tour with Wineium with Mariana as our host. We visited last year for a wine tour and had a great experience (see previous review). This year we once again returned to Barcelona and immediately requested Wineium and Mariana. Here is why we are so impressed and happy with this tour: highly professional, attention to all details, great venues, highly engaging, creates memories, provides insights about the regions and what we are visiting, has great relationships with the big and small wineries, we always feel that we are getting behind the scene access to everything. Bottom line, the WIneium team has figured out how to create highly curated and fun experiences. I would highly recommend them to anyone visiting Barcelona. Enjoy!Written May 27, 2019
- JudyAbbott0 contributionsPerfect sail with friendsWhen we were planning our girlfriends trip to Spain, we knew wine and Spanish cuisine would be an important part of the adventure. Spanish wines and tapas ARE Spain. In our research when we came upon Wineium Tours, we knew it fit the bill of what we were looking for. We wanted something smaller, more personalized and first class. Sailing on a great sailboat, savoring a nice selection wines and tapas made for the perfect day. Thank you Mariana. You and your team are the best!Written May 20, 2019
- Carolyn B0 contributionsHighlight of our trip to Barcelona!We had the most wonderful time with Beatriz on our sailing and wine trip! It was the highlight of our trip to Barcelona. We basically had a private tour! The boat ride was really nice and the boat was quite large. The winery was absolutely stunning and the tour really informative. It was a short 30min drive to the wine region. The wine was delicious and so were the tapas! I would highly recommend this excursion for anyone looking to enjoy a lovely day drinking wine and enjoying the view of Barcelona’s coastline and neighboring wine region.Written May 20, 2019
- Scott W0 contributionsUnforgettable Priorat ExperienceMarianna and Gerard planned our entire 2 day Priorat experience, and it far exceeded everything we could have hoped for. The beauty of the Priorat is stunning, and the wines are fantastic, but the history and the human warmth we experienced during our stay made this trip unforgettable. Two unexpected experiences are only a small portion of the many memories we will take home. 1 - We spent the morning leisurely drinking spectacular wines at Clos de l’Obec with Carles Pastrana, one of the “Magnificents” responsible for the modern restoration of the potential of Priorat wines. 2 - after having mentioned that we served Nit de Nin to our family at Thanksgiving dinner the week before, we were surprised during our lunch by a visit from the charming Ester Nin, the wine’s co-owner and head winemaker. All arranged by Gerard. We will return to el Priorato, and we will work with no one other than Mariana and Gerard. They were kind, professional and supremely knowledgeable about the product and place. They made this an unforgettable experience.Written November 29, 2018
- thomas f0 contributionsBarcelona!We has a FABULOUS tour with Mariana.She really knows how to put together an enjoyable and educational tour!It was our 2nd tour with this company and we will continue to use them when we are in Barcelona!Thanks again Mariana for a Great Day!Written October 27, 2018
- Katie A0 contributionsVineyard Visit with TapasAmazing day with Mariana!!! Wish we had found her earlier in our trip. Highly recommend her because of her knowledge and warm personalityWritten October 21, 2018
- Art20220 contributionsAwesome tour after a hurricane!Rough seas and high winds prevented us from taking a boat transportation to the winery in Alella. We had great communication the day prior and the day of our tour. Beatrice was knowledgeable and pleasant. Georgia at the winery was personable and interesting— the winery was awesome. We would recommend Winenium without hesitation. The partial refund we received from not being able to sail was unexpected but appreciatedWritten October 15, 2018
- CarrieRenee3450 contributionsExcellent Personalized Day TripFrom the moment we met with Mariana, every detail of our day was taken care of! We will never forget this day with her. She met with us, and we were the only two on this excursion. Some tour companies would cancel, but she did not! We started off on a beautiful schooner that had multi levels and plenty of cushy chairs on top. We took an hour tour of the harbor and had a nice chat, looked at the various ships that were in town that day, and took lots of photos. What a wonderful cruise! Mariana informed us that the winery was not quite ready for us, and she made sure we filled the extra time with a beautiful glass of Prosecco. She thinks of everything! Then, we hopped into Mariana's new van and drove to the winery. This is when we had a tour of the winery, a beautiful facility. After the tour we had a chance to taste six of their wines, three whites and three reds. This is when Mariana gave us a beautiful presentation, of 2 individual box of tapas. Each was a beautiful wrapped box of various cheeses and meats, bread, our own little individual olive oil, and home made tortillas. Yes, the one's that Spain is famous for...the ones with egg and potatoes. It was exquisite! And, of course, we could pair it with any and/or all of the wines. We enjoyed the views, because at this winery, you can see where the grapes meet the ocean from our view, so of course we took plenty of photos. If you are thinking of doing a tour in Barcelona, please do not hesitate to take any of her tours. She will absolutely treat you like family! The only thing we regret is not taking a photo with her, so now we will have to come back again...:-) Thank you Mariana for making sure we had a wonderful and memorable day. You make it extremely hard to top this tour. You have have absolutely spoiled us! Looking forward to seeing you again, and all the best for your tour company, Carrie and LesWritten September 24, 2018
- cg82180 contributionsGreat wine tour!We had such a great exeperience! As much as we had wanted to do a long tour, our timeframe didn’t allow - so the sailing and wine tour was perfect for our schedule. It felt like a private tour and Mariana was so kind and knowledgeable. The winery we went to was great and Mariana had also prepared some meat and cheeses to go along with the wine tasting, which was exclusive to our tour group. The sailing tour was just as special. Would highly recommend!!Written August 31, 2018
- leyannatorres0 contributionsAmazing Experience!!!Found this tour on Viator and thought, sailing and wine?! Ok I’ll bite. Our tour guide Beatrice was prompt and friendly. she took us to our boat and we sailed the sea with wine in hand (there was a bar on the sailboat). This was awesome viewing Barcelona by sea, the views were breathtaking and the cool breeze felt phenomenal. We docked and was taken to a beautiful winery with the most impeccable view. We were able to tour the winery and a tapas box was provided to us to pair with all of our wines. I’ve toured Napa, Sonoma, Niagara and Now Barcelona wine country and I can say this was the most riveting experience of them all. If you don’t try this tour, you will be missing out. All 5 stars here!Written August 9, 2018
- klk890 contributionsSailing and winery!What an amazing tour!!!! Mariana is an absolute delight and beyond outgoing. Hands down the best wine tour we did on our Spain/Portugal trip. All of the wines were fabulous and the sailing tour was very relaxing and gorgeous. Thank you for an amazing experience!!!Written June 17, 2018

My husband and I had a wonderful tour with Mariana. Her knowledge of wine and relationship with the wineries we visited enhanced the experience we had on a short trip in Barcelona. We hope to return one day and would definitely do another tour with her!

Dear Lauren, thanks for your having taken the time to drop us a marvellous review. The difference of our wine tasting experiences, is the fact that we visit "our wineries" or as close as owning them. We feel at home because we have a close friendship is all the wineries' owners we go to. We would love to see you again when you return to Barcelona or at another one of the new wine regions we are covering now. Best wishes!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Mariana and Winenium. We "interviewed" several wine tour guides (via email) and Mariana was the only one willing to custom design a tour for our specific requests. She hit all the marks we asked for and provided us with a first-class experience.
We wanted boutique wineries and personalized tours, which is exactly what Mariana arranged. One of our tours was led by the winemaker herself! Fabulous.
Mariana is beyond knowledgeable about wines and wineries but is not a "wine snob." Our day with Mariana and Winenium was truly the highlight of our four day holiday in Barcelona.
Our experience with Winenium was so outstanding, my company is considering hiring them to arrange a special event when we host a partners' meeting in Barca in the Fall. We cannot say enough good things about Mariana and Winenium. They are fantastic!

My wife and I had a great time and loved the vineyards we visited. Our guide was as knowledgeable as she was pleasant to spend the day with and the wines were so good that we took several bottles back with us. This is a perfect way to have a calm and luxurious tasting experience without traveling far. We will use this company again for future tours. Everything was wonderful!

Tony thanks for your kind review and description. The aim of a private tour is exactly that: wine tasting at your leisure, where you are the main guest. We stay away from large group tours, as we want each customer to experience as if they were visiting a friend’s home town, where you are shown the best spots and wineries we have great friendship with. See you when you come back to Barcelona.

My family of five booked the small winery and tapas tour. We upgraded to the luxury vehicle option which was a large, comfortable van with a private driver. The tour started with Mariana, the owner and founder, meeting us at our hotel in the lobby of the Mandarin Oriental. Mariana is a bundle of energy and a real joy to spend the day with. She took us about an hour outside of Barcelona to a small winery focused on Cava. We had a private tour followed by a tasting. It was clear that Mariana has developed a real friendship with the winery owners and staff. They were sincerely warm, informative, funny and a treat to talk to. Our second winery was a unique gem of a winery. The winery was originally a villa dating back to the third century when it was a stopping point on a road leading to Rome. This winery can best be described in US terms like a "cult" winery -- small batches, highly personalized, biodynamic, low impact to the environment. The grapes are unusual and the methods harmonize traditional wine making with modern tools. The whole production area is a site to see and one of the most interesting tours we have been on over the years. The whole process is gravity fed and built into a small mountain. From the outside you don't realize the size and scope of what they are doing under the old villa. In fact, the best way to describe the whole "hidden" facility is like something out of a James Bond movie.
We ended the tour at the villa with some wonderful tapas and a full sampling of wines. What a treat to see the harmony of a villa that was started in the third century working in harmony with nature and some modern technology.
Bottom line, this was a great day. Mariana makes it fun and easy. You can see how she has carefully curates the experiences. I would highly recommend this for anyone loving wine or just interested in a trip outside of Barcelona.

We absolutely loved the two wineries that Mariana chose for us! Each winery shared unique, premium wines that we have not tried before. We bought several bottles and wished that we could have taken home more.

This was my second wine tour with Winenium and once again they did not disappoint. I have done wine tours in Napa, Virginia, and Burgandy France etc, and I can honestly say this topped them all.
There were 17 of us and We visited 3 wineries near sitges. Each winery experience was private and there were no crowds etc, very exclusive. Mariana knows all of the local winemakers and together they truly went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect day. This was by far the highlight of our trip and we will definitely book with Mariana again and again. If you like wine, stop reading this and just book it!!
PS- last year I did the sailing and wine tour, also spectacular. The winery we visited overlooks the sea, stunning views, amazing as well.

Laura thanks for taking the time to drop us a review. We aim to take care of our customers from start to finish and think our Boutique Wineries tour (visiting two stunning wineries), is one of the best ways to experience the Penedès wine region, its delicious still wines and sparkling wines. We hope to see you again!

We struggled to find a wine tour and finally settled on this one and couldn't have been more pleased with our selection. The host was absolutely amazing - she was extremely welcoming and did a great job planning an awesome day at the vineyards. We could not have been more happy with our day and really look forward to going back to Spain and booking more tours through this company. I have been to many different wine regions and this company was by far the best. I highly recommend this and strongly suggest you consider taking one of these tours. You will not be disappointed.

Dear Thomas, thanks for your fabulous review. We know it's difficult to differentiate quality standards from all the available tours around, but we are utterly delighted you came for a taste (literally) and were more than satisfied. We really hope to see you again and perhaps visit the Priorat wine region on your next visit.

Thanks a lot to Xavi and Mariana for organzing this wonderful trip. The visit to Montserrat was really good with the right pace, all possible comforts with a very friendly atmosphere.
And then the wine tasting at the Jean Leon winery was excpeitonally good: the lady responsible at the winery was really knowledgable: wines and food just fantastic.
We would recommend it to anyone with a day to be outside Barcelona. Thank you so very much!

Since we were the only ones on the tour and our hotel was very close to the meeting place, we got a pickup at our hotel. Mariana, our guide, started our tour with a big smile. We were transported to our first winery in a clean, comfortable van. There we were given a flight of wines to taste test. An employee of the vinyard came to our table and gave us some of the history of the vinyard. The production of this vinyard is in the millions but we were given the attention as if it were a small boutique winery. Too soon we we're off to a second winery with production in the 5 figures. After a trip through the production area we were taken to the owners home and treated to another flight of wine and tapas. All along the way Mariana was there to answer any question we had, and to have our van near each time we completed a phase of our trip. We couldn't have had any better personal and informative service. The length of the tour was just right. The 5 hour tour gave us insight into two completely different Spanish wine producers. Thanks for the great day, Mariana.

Dear William, thanks for your kind review. We carefully plan our our tours duration and this one in particular, has been designed to be short (5 hours) but always keeping the essence as you visit two of our favourite wineries. We hope you had a great cruise and it would be great to see you back. Thanks again.

Are the second visit’s tastings for white, or for red wines? We are interested in reds.
Written June 2, 2019
They were both white and red, but Mariana may be able to tailor the tasting to suit you. I would email your request to Winenium.
