Five wine heritage facilities in Penedès have created the 'Viquet. The origins of wine and cava', a combined route to discover the richness of the Penedès wine culture and heritage.
The Viquet is a tourist ticket that gives you access to visit the Malvasia Interpretation Center of of Sitges, the Cava Centre of Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, the Interpretation Center D.O. Vinífera of Avinyonet del Penedès, the Museum of Archaeology of Catalonia-Olèrdola, and the VINSEUM Museum of Wine Cultures of Catalonia, and all at a one-time price of 15€ per person.
The Viquet visiting system is simple. At the time of purchase, you will receive a passport brochure that includes information about the five exhibition spaces, as well as a map with their location. From the first visit, you will have one year to visit all the facilities. When visiting the different spaces, the passport will be sealed until the route is completed. The order of visits is indifferent. If the route is completed within the established deadline, each visitor will receive a very special gift: a bottle of wine, cava or malvasia of the region, and tickets and discounts to activities scheduled by the organizing spaces.
The Viquet can be purchased at the ticket office of the participating establishments.
