Alella’s wine experiences give a visit a clear schedule: Diumenges de Vins takes place monthly, while the Festa de la Verema is celebrated in September. There are also workshops for children, cultural venues and part of the Parc de la Serralada Litoral. Whether you’re planning your visit around an event or want to explore the town independently, Alella offers different ways to discover wine, local history and landscape.

Wine experiences: regular schedules, different formats

Diumenges de Vins takes place on the last Sunday of every month, except in July and August, in the courtyard of the Alella Tourist Office. Each session pairs two DO Alella wines with small dishes prepared by restaurants in Alella. Check the exact date before your trip.

Diumenges de Most is aimed at children: at wine tourism workshops, they learn about wine culture through play and taste grape must. The focus here is on learning through play; Diumenges de Vins, by contrast, features two wines and small dishes. Check the specific dates before you arrive.

The Festa de la Verema is celebrated in Alella every September as part of its vibrant winemaking heritage. Visitors can taste wines from wineries and winemakers in the DO Alella area. Dates and participating producers vary by edition, so check the details when planning your trip.

Local history and self-guided exploration

Can Manyé is a former farmhouse that was converted into a textile factory in the early 20th century and now serves as a municipal cultural centre. The building’s successive uses—as a farmhouse, factory and cultural centre—make its transformation tangible and provide a specific point of reference if you’re interested in Alella’s local history.

Alella Vinícola operated as a cooperative from 1906 to 1998. While Can Manyé is defined by its changing uses, the cooperative can be placed within a clearly dated period. The two examples highlight different aspects of local history: one through a building, the other through the work of a cooperative.

A self-guided route leads through the town centre to Alella’s major sights. It’s a way to explore the centre independently, rather than focusing your visit on a single cultural venue.

Landscape and orientation

The Parc de la Serralada Litoral also extends across Alella; its special plan designates 4,042 hectares as protected land. If you’re planning a route, check the protected area’s boundaries and the stated area. The Parc de la Serralada Litoral office is located at Can Magarola, Avinguda Sant Mateu 2, 08328 Alella. If you plan to visit the office, check its location before you travel.

Another named option is the Alella–Turó d’en Galzeran–Camí de la Cornisa–Sant Mateu–Mirador de la Cornisa route, which is one of Alella’s off-road sports routes. If you’re considering cycling this route, check the surface and conditions beforehand. This lets you consider the self-guided town-centre route and the marked sports route as different ways to explore.
