The Castellers de Vilafranca is a Catalan cultural and sports institution whose main objective is to build human towers. They are a non-profit organization and are considered a public interest entity.
Piera Castle dates back to at least the 10th century. Perched at the top of a small hill, it overlooks the valley of the Anoia river where it flows into the Penedès region.
It has an outdoor space, open to the public and willing to receive visitors to enjoy the architectural and heritage environment; and an interior space, where the whole set of interpretation resources has been installed. As if it were the vine itself, the visitor will be able to go through the 400m2 of contents, distributed in a conceptual way: from the light, the open air, to the darkness and stillness of the winery.
The permanent exhibition at the VINSEUM is dedicated to the vineyard and wine, and the close connection these have with the Penedès region and Catalonia. Your journey starts on the third floor of the Royal Palace and ends with a cava or wine tasting in the tavern of the museum.
