BEST FOR CAVA COUNTRY Mas Tinell DO Penedès; Vilafranca del Penedès, Barcelona 13 rooms B&B from €127.26 for an Individual Business Room to €381.78 for the Suite Deluxe hotelmastinell.com An unlikely concept for a building, this hotel has been designed to look like two rows of Cava bottles stacked one on top of the other. Remarkably, it works. The flat bottom of the bottle makes a decorative window to each room. The hotel sits amid the vines, with a swimming pool tucked into one side. Visitors can engage with the wine world as they wish, or just sit back and relax. Wine tourism is second nature to this family business, which offers horse riding, biking, hot air ballooning and Segway tours. Spa offerings include the chance to bathe in Cava. At harvest, there’s foot-treading of grapes; with year-round visits to the family’s own winery.
