Every calçotada deserves good wine! In this case we go into the city of origin of the Calçots and explore its wine shops for the wines and drinks to make your calçotada a success!

Right in the centre of Valls, in the well-known Plaça de l'Oli, there is a wine and vermouth shop with a great range for a calçotada, including some of the best calçot sauces, wines and vermouths from the entire peninsula.

Wine for a calçotada is usually a blend of strong wines. At “Cal Bellod – Magatzem del Vermut” they use a quarter of sweet Grenache wine and three quarters of a bulk Priorat wine.

They also have a fruity white wine that makes the calçotada a blast. But all without forgetting buy vermouth to liven up the moment when the calçots are cooked!

Cheers!
