History
The tradition of wine in Peralada dates back to the 14 th century, when the Carmelite friars of the Convent del Carme made their own wine. These days, Vinos y Cavas Castillo Perelada has consolidated its position as one of the finest and most traditional wineries in Spain. It has also contributed towards a spectacular revival in the Ampurdán region, which has the longest history of wine-making in Spain.

Outstanding among the wines produced by the company are the Gran Claustro and Don Miguel Mateu, both meeting the conditions for an “excellent” quality wine. Also outstanding is the Gran Claustro special reserve cava, produced with all the nobility imposed by such an ancient tradition, aged in the centuries-old cellars of the Convent del Carme. The Champagne method is rigorously and professionally adhered to, with just the addition of the charisma that characterises the Castillo Perelada.

Peralada, a town in the Ampurdán region in Northern Catalonia, is undoubtedly unique in the richness of its culture, history and natural resources. Dating back one thousand years, it was one of the main capitals of Ampurdán throughout the Middle Ages and the birthplace of the chronicler, Ramon Muntaner in 1265. Several monuments and buildings still remain from this age of splendour.

It is worth taking a walk around the old town to visit the museum complex of the Centre de Turisme Cultural Sant Domènec and the Convent del Carme, which contains the library and the Castillo de Peralada museums.

The Castillo de Peralada is mediaeval in origin and has a remarkable Renaissance façade and neo-gothic elements. Its distinctive feature are the twin towers which have long signified its enduring position in the artistic and cultural landscape in Peralada. It was built by the Viscounts of Rocabertí, who were elevated to the status of Counts in 1599. There is mention of the family name of the Counts of Rocabertí in El Quijote as being one of the oldest and greatest lineages in Catalonia.

In one wing of the castle, there is a prestigious casino with tables for French roulette, American roulette, poker, black-jack, boule and punto-banco, as well as slot machines. In summer, the Castillo de Peralada hosts the Castell de Peralada International Music Festival. During the Christmas period, the castle gardens also present the nativity scene, the Pessebre Vivent de Peralada, one of the longest traditions and best-attended events in the town.

This is an opportunity to visit the most representative historical centres in the Ampurdán region, such as the Museo Dalí at Figueres, the Greco-Roman ruins at Ampurias, the Monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes and the Romanesque Monastery of Vilabertran. Take a trip to the nature reserves of Cap de Creus, Aiguamolls de l’Empordà, the beauty spot at L’Albera or the marine reserve on the Medes Islands.


Golf

The Perelada Golf Club is an ideal course both for staging competitions and large tournaments and for enjoying a pleasant, relaxing day out. There is a magnificent par-71 round of 18 holes over 5,990 m2 and four tee-offs for each hole. It is fairly flat with areas of lakes, water-banks and trees, suitable for all types of player.

The course was opened in 1993 and has been designated the best course on the Costa Brava several times. It received an IAGTO (International Association of Golf Tour Operators) award together with the other golf courses in the Costa Brava-Girona Golf Course Association, as the best up-and-coming destination for golf 2000 in the world. Competitions and high-level tournaments are organised here, such as the Catalonia Open 95, the trials for the PGA Pre-Qualifying School and the Seniors Qualifying School.

Blending in perfectly with the landscape, the conservation of the environment and care for nature is prevalent over the whole course. As you go round, you can see water birds, birds of prey and a great variety of plants, indigenous animals and other interesting species that have adapted to the environment. The Peralada Golf Club is the first golf course in Europe to be handed an environmental management certificate from the EMAS scheme of the EU for eco-management and auditing.
