Regular local trains from Sants Estacio or Placa de Catalunya run west from Barcelona into L'Alt Penedes , a region roughly halfway between the city and Tarragona, devoted to wine production. It's the largest Catalan producer of still and sparkling wines, and boasts the most vineyards, too - this becomes increasingly clear the further the train delves into the region. There are two main towns to visit, both of which can be seen in a single day with suitable stops at the wine cellars for hand-steadiers on the way: Sant Sadurni , the closer to Barcelona, is the self-styled Capital del Cava, home to around fifty producers of sparkling wine; Vilafranca del Penedes , twenty minutes down the line, is the region's administrative capital and produces mostly still wine.
