Discover Roses: Gastronomy and Wine Tourism

Roses smells of the sea from the dock to the table. The day begins at the llotja (fish market) with the auction of the famous Roses prawns and ends with a steaming "suquet de peix"—the seafood stew that is the soul of the local cuisine. In between, the restaurants along the promenade and the terraces on the cliffs pamper the locals: try a dark fideuà with cuttlefish ink or lobster rice overlooking the bay. If you're looking for haute cuisine, there are several Michelin-starred restaurants. If you're interested in the world of wine, the DO Empordà Wine Route awaits you less than 30 minutes away, with more than 40 wineries that combine vineyards and the north winds. These wineries invite you to taste Garnatxa and Carinyena among centuries-old olive trees or to pedal through the fields before the tasting. Other unique experiences include wine kayaking in the bay, yoga among the vineyards, and participatory grape harvests, ideal for families and foodies. The combination of sea and mountains defines the menu: aromatic white wines to pair with salt-baked fish, fresh reds to accompany artisan cured meats, and the classic Garnatxa de l'Empordà as a sweet finish. Plan your route with our interactive map, book winery visits with a single click, and activate grape harvest alerts or dinners under the stars.
