Paddy Mannion, Penedes
Good wine is nothing without good company and that, naturally, involves good food too. Irishman Paddy Mannion has spent thirty years learning about all three, in the course of a career as restaurant manager and sommelier in Ireland, Holland, Germany, the USA and Spain. Happily settled in the D.O. Penedès just south of Barcelona, he is today an acknowledged authority on the people and wines from Penedes to Priorat, and a guide to enjoying all that is best about Southern Catalunya.
Stefan Lismond, Priorat
Stefan Lismond lives in D.O.Q. Priorat, probably the most historic "new" red wine region in Spain. When he is not working on wine exports for small local producers or giving visitors a incredible wine tour he is preparing another wonderful food and wine experience. Stefan is a veteran of hospitality having run his own rural hotel and restaurant in Penedès, Can Festís. The Festís lives on in his Cava (Winner of the 2006 Rotary Club award) and anytime he takes a group of our guests.
El Molí Tours is committed to discovering new wines and wine-makers, small wineries and wonderful gastronomic and historic corners of Southern Catalunya. We expose small producers to new clients and bring our grain of sand to the sustainable and long term development of enotourism in our region. Our tours, like good wines, offer a balance between the traditional and modern, innovative and consolidated, aroma and taste, food and wine, people and country.
Cheers and all the best
