ABOUT YOUR WINE GUIDE....
 Good
wine is nothing without good company and that, naturally, involves good food
too. Irishman Paddy Mannion has spent twenty years learning about all three, in
the course of a career as restaurant manager and sommelier in Ireland, Holland,
Germany and Spain. Happily settled in the Catalan countryside, he is today an
acknowledged authority on the people and wines of Penedes and Priorat, and a
guide to enjoying all that is best about Southern Catalunya. His conviction that
the best can only to be found off the beaten track led him to offer guided wine
tours enjoying the best wines, restaurants, routes, transport and stories. It’s
the stories that will stay with you. Explore a region that is rich in the good
things in life, in the best of good company.

I wanted to write and tell you how much my mom and her sister's enjoyed
their trip to Spain. The driver was OUTSTANDING. They were so impressed
with him that they went on and on about how great he was. The Paradores
were lovely for them and they really enjoyed every day of the trip...
