WINE & CHOCOLATE WEEKEND
Tarragona - Priorat
 

Live a new experience A special weekend in a special hotel with unique activities designed for your relaxation.

The place: A hotel that is a monument with spa and a restaurant run by Joaquín Koerper  (2 Michelin starred). A modernist building designed by the famous architect Domenech i Montaner, that has been restored into a splendid five star luxury hotel.

The experience: A massage treatment with warm chocolate combined with fantastic cuisine, a unique surrounding and a wine route of the Priorat.

The Chocolate therapy: Massage with warm chocolate and milk bath. An exotic persuasion that seduces to our skin and our senses. Smooth temptation that attracts us by its aroma and divine flavor. The components of chocolate feed, nourish and fill the skin of proteins, vitamins and minerals. It has antirust virtues (avoids the premature ageing of the skin), and it is not fattening.
The Wine route: The Priorat wines are probably the ones receiving most skilled attention in the entire country, especially the dark reds which have a velvety flavor and complex aroma. They are fairly heavy and have high alcohol content.
The first thing that strikes you when you visit the region is the beauty and singularity of its landscape, its hidden towns and their famous llicorella (slate-based) soils. The vineyards are in almost impossible slopes, where you can barely stand up straight in, and the minuscule yields of most of the vineyards, due to the old grapevines used. All these and the application of a wide wine knowledge makes their wines shine with own light.

The “Mas Passamaner” was built in 1922 with the support of the entrepreneur from Reus Joan Boqué i Reverter who engaged the prestigious architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner, desiring, like so many of the industrial bourgeoisie of the time, to use the new building to display the social projection of his success in business. Boqué had inherited the site from his grandfather, Ramón Boquer who had been a maker of passementerie (fine trimmings). Hence the name of the house. The engravings, stained glass windows, sculptures, ceramics and wrought-iron endow the house with a Modernist air of that striking beauty gradually impaired by the passing years and negligence but recently recovered in all its splendour by restoration work, undergone by the architect Ángel García Puertas. The building is the ideal setting for a luxury hotel complex based on the theme of Modernism, a fundamental movement in Catalan history which does not fail, after a hundred years, to captivate with its power and beauty.
