Wine Museum

The Wine Museum contains a wide-ranging exhibit of 750 objects associated with the wine culture, dating from the 14th century onward and with precedents that go back to ancient times.

 

This museum is located in one of the old cellars of the Carmelite friars, where wines were first produced in the 14th century. The first individualized wine documented with precision was the “vi de pair”, a digestive wine, which was presented to the occupying French General on September 29, 1809. The wine museum takes up four rooms that were installed in the mid 1960s by Manolo Muntañola, one of Barcelona’s top interior designers of the 20th century.

The Peralada Castle Museum and, especially, its glass collection joins the celebration of the "International Year of Glass" during the last 2022.

Although the glass collection can be enjoyed, to a large extent, within the visit to the Museum, this year an unprecedented area of the collection located on the main floor of the Castle will be opened to the public. In these rooms, the collector Miguel Mateu Pla located his first glass purchases, so we will immerse ourselves in the museography proposed at the beginning of the 20th century inside a 14th century castle.

This visit will take place on Saturdays, at 12 noon with prior reservation contacting by email: infomuseo@grupperalada.com. The maximum capacity is 10 people. Price: €10.00.

Entrance: Plaza del Carmen (same door of the Museum). Punctuality is essential since the door will open and close at 12:00.
