Centre d'Interpretacio De La Malvasia

About

Talking about malvasia wine in Sitges means talking about Saint John the Baptist's Hospital and its cellar, the Malvasia Interpretation Center, which has been a key addition in order to preserve this unique product, Sitges' own wine. In fact, the phylloxera plague and champagne's popularity during the latter 19th century marked the unfortunate decline of malvasia wine. Conscious about the fact that malvasia wine would end up disappearing, just before passing, the diplomat Manuel Llopis i de Casades (1885-1935) decided to avoid that by giving Saint John the Baptist's Hospital its very own vineyard, one in Aiguadolç's port, and the family business, which revolved in the elaboration of malvasia wine.
