On September 12, 2026 , the Celler Cooperatiu de Cornudella de Montsant will become the epicenter of a unique experience in Priorat. The MONTSANT WINE RUN is here, an innovative proposal that merges trail running, wine tourism, gastronomy, landscape and Montsant wines in a day designed to enjoy the territory with all five senses.

Much more than a race, the Montsant Wine Run was born with the desire to become the great wine festival of the Celler Cooperatiu de Cornudella , a celebration open to both regular runners and all those looking for a different experience in the heart of Priorat. Here it is not just about running. It is about discovering an exceptional landscape, sharing unique moments and toasting with some of the best wines produced at the foot of the Serra de Montsant.

Running among the vineyards of Priorat

The race runs along paths and tracks that cross some of the most spectacular wine-growing landscapes in Catalonia. Participants will be able to choose between two distances: the 10K Cariñena and the 14K Garnatxa , two routes that allow you to discover vineyards, historic paths and privileged panoramic views of the Serra de Montsant Natural Park.

During the tour, participants will enter a territory shaped for centuries by the vineyard, where each slope, each dry stone bank and each plot tells a part of the winemaking history of Priorat. It is an exceptional opportunity to get to know up close the landscapes that give rise to the wines produced by the region’s winegrowers.

An experience that combines sport and wine tourism

The MONTSANT WINE RUN is one of the few events that naturally combines the world of trail running with that of wine tourism . Throughout the day, participants will be able to enjoy special refreshments, a festive atmosphere and the possibility of discovering the wines of the territory in a completely different context.

The aim is for each participant to have a memorable experience, regardless of their sporting level. For this reason, the circuits are designed for both runners and people who prefer to complete them on foot, enjoying the landscape and wine heritage without rushing.

The Wine Cathedral as a meeting point

The main attraction of the day will be the Cornudella de Montsant Wine Cathedral , the century-old modernist winery that will host the start, finish and many of the complementary activities. This emblematic building, designed by Cèsar Martinell, represents the history, tradition and cooperative spirit that have defined local viticulture for over a century.

Crossing the finish line in front of this architectural gem will be just the beginning of the celebration.

Gastronomy, wines and party

After the effort comes the reward. The day will continue with a great popular festival that will include barbecue, music, a festive atmosphere and a wine bar managed by The Wine Truck , where attendees will be able to taste different references from the Celler Cooperatiu de Cornudella and other wines from the territory.

The Montsant Wine Run is a perfect opportunity to discover Priorat with family, friends or as a couple, also taking the opportunity to visit wineries, enjoy local gastronomy and explore some of the most spectacular corners of the region.

We are waiting for you!

Sign up, get your sneakers ready and come discover why running through vineyards in Priorat is much more than just a race. It’s a way of experiencing the territory.

Vi Novell 2025 is the first new wine that we produce in the winery. A wine that was born with the desire to celebrate the end of the harvest, and share the first wine of the year.

It is a sincere expression of the term of Cornudella de Montsant , made with native varieties , mainly Grenache , with a small contribution of Syrah . The result is a fresh, lively, fruity and very aromatic wine, which perfectly reflects the characteristics of the grapes grown in our area: freshness, good acidity and great liveliness .

The vineyards from which this Vi Novell comes are located in a unique environment, between valleys, rivers, ravines and mountain slopes , with a combination of heights and a great diversity of soils. This landscape mosaic, framed between the Serra del Montsant and the Muntanyes de Prades , is key to understanding the profile of the wine: a light but intense red, direct and full of energy, faithful to the character of our territory.

Visually, Vi Novell 2025 presents an intense, bright and attractive reddish-purple color , which already indicates its youth and vitality. On the nose it is particularly expressive, with aromas of fresh, recently harvested red fruit , where strawberry and raspberry stand out clearly, accompanied by subtle lactic notes that add complexity and make the whole even more pleasant.

In the mouth it is soft, fresh and very easy to drink , with a well-marked acidity , characteristic of the wines of our area. The palate is agile and clean, with an intense taste that faithfully reproduces the aromas of the nose, evoking the sensation of biting into a freshly picked red fruit . It is a wine designed to be enjoyed young, without artifice, letting the grapes and the landscape speak.

Regarding the production, we have opted for a respectful process that preserves the aromas and freshness as much as possible. The grapes are destemmed but not crushed , and maceration with the skins takes place for 6 days at a controlled temperature between 18 and 21 ºC . The wine is made exclusively with vat bleeding , a key decision to obtain a finer and cleaner profile, avoiding bitterness, greenness or unnecessary astringency.

With an alcoholic strength of 13% vol. , Vi Novell 2025 is ideal for sharing, celebrating and understanding wine as a living expression of the moment. It is a wine that connects with tradition, but at the same time opens a new stage in our winery, reinforcing the will to continue making wines with identity, honesty and roots in the territory.

Vi Novell 2025 is not just a new wine: it is a declaration of intentions. A way of saying that the Celler Cooperatiu de Cornudella de Montsant continues to look forward, without losing sight of where we come from.

A visual tribute to the harvest

The grape harvest is one of the most intense and identity-defining moments in Priorat. Next to the Serra de Montsant, where the landscape is as demanding as it is inspiring, the grape harvest is the culmination of a whole year of work in the fields: a ritual full of effort, tradition and community. Every September, the vineyards become a moving landscape, where expert hands cut, select and transport the fruit that will define the wine of the year.

The exhibition VEREMA A PEUS DE MONTSANT – COLLITA 2025 captures this essence through sixteen photographs captured during a photographic day held on September 27, 2024. That day, in the midst of the grape harvest, eight photographers — Jordi Brú, Mercè Pons, Toni Lluch, Jordi Joan Rojals, Joan Ramon Coll, Jordi Franquès, Maria Pi and Xavi Flores — closely followed the entire process, from the vineyard to the cellar. From all the images they obtained, a careful selection has been made that offers a graphic taste of the 2025 grape harvest.

The strength of the landscape

The vineyards at the foot of Montsant are synonymous with steep slopes, narrow terraces and a viticulture that is still largely manual. The territory marks the character of the harvest and, in these photographs, we see this deep bond: hands moving among the vines, dirt roads and light filtered through the vines. It is a landscape that demands effort, but at the same time offers incomparable beauty.

A ritual of gestures and precision

The harvest is a choreography that combines speed, skill and attention. Cutting the grapes, loading the boxes or trailers, lowering them down dry stone banks and transporting the fruit to the winery is a demanding task, which the photographers have been able to capture with authenticity. In the images we find concentrated faces, spontaneous smiles, hands stained with must and constant movements: a collective work that speaks of coexistence and craft.

The transformation in the cellar

Once the grapes arrive at the winery, a second, equally intense phase begins: selection, destemming and the first winemaking processes. The photographs show this change of scenery, where the rusticity of the countryside gives way to the precision of the winery, but where the essence remains the same: human dedication.

A tribute to the hands that make wine

This exhibition aims to be, above all, a tribute. A recognition of all the people who, with effort and passion, keep the wine-growing landscape of Priorat alive. Behind every bottle of wine there is a story, and these sixteen images are a sincere and emotional visual taste of it.
