Vilafranca del Penedès, Wine capital municipality in Alt Penedès, Spain

Located 54 kilometers from Barcelona, Vilafranca del Penedès spreads across 19.65 square kilometers of flat terrain with small hills reaching 223 meters elevation.

The town emerged in the 12th century after Olèrdola's decline, later becoming a significant administrative center when King James I held court sessions in 1218.

The December Fira del Gall fair presents regional products and traditions, while the annual ViJazz festival combines local wine tasting with musical performances.

The municipality connects to major cities through the AP-7 highway, regional roads C-243 and C-15, plus regular train service on Rodalies Barcelona line 4.

The Gothic church of Santa Maria, Palau Reial, and Vinseum museum form a historical complex dedicated to preserving the region's wine production heritage.
