Last July, a group of members, accompanied by relatives, enjoyed an astronomical outing combined with a wine tasting where, with the help of a laser pointer, they recognized the types of stars and the constellations present in the night sky, along with the mythology, tales and legends that these carry associated.
Attendees looked for the different connections that exist between the vineyard and the cosmos; talk about the different stars that influence the vineyard, get to know the vintage star and stories of popular astronomy with reference to wine and the vineyard; talk about the colors of the stars and the colors of the wines and Dionysus god of wine and vegetation. All this while they were tasting the different wines that the winery proposed to them. The observation was carried out in the vineyards of the Jordi Llorens winery which are located between L'Espluga de Francolí and Blancafort, with a telescope that can observe different deep space objects such as nebulae, star and globular clusters, other galaxies, as well as the different planets in the solar system and some of its major satellites. You can also observe in detail the surface of the moon with the different seas and craters.
