Festival weekend planner
Fira del Vi del Priorat — a 3-day weekend in Priorat
5–11 May 2026. Falset, Spain. 40 min from the airport.
The weekend, day by day
- Day 1
Arrive in Falset
Land at Reus Airport (REU), settle in and walk the old town in the afternoon. Light dinner near your accommodation — save your appetite for the festival day.
- Day 2
Fira del Vi del Priorat
Festival day — arrive early to avoid the lunchtime crowd. Insider tip: Request a tasting agenda that prioritizes old-vine Garnacha producers (Clos Mogador, Alvaro Palacios disciples) and avoid the Cariñena-heavy stations—Priorat's reputation rests on its ancient Garnacha. Stay in Falset proper and ask your accommodation to connect you with producers offering pre-festival barrel tastings; these are where you find the pre-release gems.
- Day 3
Wine country day in Priorat
Use the third day for a single winery visit (booked ahead) and a long lunch at one of the regional addresses below before heading home.
