Wine tourism on the Costa Brava: The best proposals of the Vívid Festival 2026

The Vívid Festival, dedicated to wine tourism on the Costa Brava, celebrates its 13th edition this April with seventy activities and events that connect wine, nature, active wine tourism, and wellness. Walks through vineyards, guided tours, yoga, and sensory experiences coexist with unique tastings and gastronomic activities in a dynamic and experiential program. The program can be found at [website address missing]. https://vivid.costabrava.org/ . Among the many proposals, we highlight the following:

Among the activities that combine movement, nature, and wine to promote a healthy lifestyle, you can choose options such as the Martín Faixó winery's circular walking route along ancient dry stone paths within the Cap de Creus Natural Park, or an outing to trail running, which will explore some of the most beautiful spots in this area, and will be complemented with refreshments and a wine tasting. In the Baix Empordà region, you can take a guided hiking route through the Bell-lloc valley in Palamós to discover the valley's natural and historical heritage with a guided tasting of Brugarol wines, and a guided bike tour between the blue of the sea and the green of the vineyards offered by the Mas Oller winery, which includes [missing information - likely a wine tasting].

The festival includes various experiences that pair wine, tranquility, and body awareness to invite participants to pause and enjoy life's simple pleasures. For example, a yoga class among vineyards listening to birdsong at the Vinyes d'Olivardots winery, which is complemented by a brunch of local products and wine tasting. In Llançà, participants will be able to enjoy a session of bar among vineyards – a discipline that combines ballet movements, pilates and functional exercise – which will conclude with a tasting of wines and products from the La Vinyeta winery.

Vívid offers the possibility of enjoying tastings of unique wines, which only take place during the festival, such as the one that will be held at Vins y Licors Grau de Palafrugell by the communicator Llucià Ferrer, with wines from Empordà.

Three wineries in Garriguella (Masetplana, the Garriguella Cooperative and Mas Llunes) team up to offer an activity that combines wine, a humorous monologue, and walks among vineyards.

The so-called Tramuntana Procession is a tradition with over 400 years of history, celebrated at the summit of Requesens. The Regulatory Council is reviving this tradition, which will include a wine tasting.

Vívid is also about fun, which is why it offers recreational activities like a circular treasure hunt through vineyards and the Les Gavarres forest. This activity combines nature, gastronomy, and entertainment to stimulate the senses.

A full morning combining sport, wine, and scenery. The day begins with a golf lesson for all levels at the Costa Brava Golf Club in Santa Cristina d'Aro. The activity continues in Palamós with a guided tour of the Brugarol winery, designed by the award-winning PCR Arquitectes, followed by a wine tasting.

One of the new features of this edition of Vívid is the proposal of accommodation in the campsites with the Land of Wines seal, which combine the stay with wine tastings or activities of the Vívid program.

Photography enthusiasts can opt for the activity dedicated to taking photographs Instagrammable In nature. It's a tour through vineyards where you'll learn how to get the most out of your mobile phone. This activity will end with a photo contest where participants enjoy a tasting... brunch married on the terrace of Mas Geli, in Pals.

The wineries of the Empordà DO Wine Route and restaurateurs from the Cocina del Viento and Cocina del Empordanet regions will join forces to offer a unique food and wine experience: breakfast among the vineyards, prepared primarily with locally sourced products and paired with Empordà wines. A dozen lavish breakfasts will be served in stunningly beautiful settings.
