The love of land, wine and Mediterranean gastronomy and culture…

Three centuries ago, the family Torres settled in the Penedès, a region since phonecian times. Since then the Torres surname has been linked to wine, and represents the Family's hard work, dedication and passion for the wine. It is one of the most important winemaking enterprises in the country.

In 1992 Torres opened the doors of their Visitor’s Center at Pacs del Penedès to show the everyday work they do and explain the culture of wine. Wine, family, history, , ecology, culture, gastronomy…These experiences are designed for their visitors to experience new emotions and sensations and to enhance their knowledge about the world of wine.
