Casa Vermouth Padró

This is where vermouth starts: in a herb room.

Daniel Padró and Rosa Valldosera started with a single press and a small distillery. They made wine, mistela and spirits and sold them in bulk around the county, in casks loaded onto carts.

Today the vermouth is made in a manor house from 1776, in the centre of the village. They make it with white wine from their own Macabeo and Xarel·lo, botanicals from five continents, ageing in wooden casks and a rest out in the sun and the night air.

On the visit you walk through the gardens, the herb room, the maceration and ageing rooms, and finish by tasting seven of their vermouths. Their restaurant, Gastro Botànic & Co., is 300 metres away.
