Catedral del vino

The Cathedral of Wine in Pinell de Brai is a well-known landmark, popular for its wine tours and for the competitive DO Terra Alta wines, produced using artisanal techniques that the winery has carefully preserved.The façade is a notable modernist work by architect Cèsar Martinell, a disciple of Antoni Gaudí.

There is plenty of free street parking outside the Cathedral of Wine in Pinell de Brai, but no designated accessible parking bays. The street is not heavily transited, so you can safely arrange a drop-off right in front of the building. The main building and the “cathedral” itself have not been fully renovated for step-free access. At the main entrance, do not expect a completely flat surface—there is a step. However, viewed from outside, the shop area on the left appears adapted with a handmade mini-ramp that allows mobility devices to enter; the interior is spacious for moving around. Access to this space may still be limited for some visitors, depending on their ability to manage the step at the threshold. A second small ramp leads to the museum in the first warehouse, where the wine-making process begins. This entrance also has a small step, so it may not be suitable for everyone. Once inside, the museum area is flat and spacious if you can manage that step. With a bit of assistance, you might get over the step into the first part of the museum and use the small ramps to enter the shop for a quick look at the oil-making exhibits. However, the next stages of the tour beyond this point are not accessible—visitors must go up stairs to see the barrels and aging casks on the upper floor. The rest of the areas present many steps and remain fully inaccessible.
