The Priorat Qualified Regulatory Board has launched its own application for mobile devices and tablets (http://doqpriorat.org/app/). This new App. from the DOQ Priorat allows users to access extensive information related to wines, villages, wineries and places of wine interest as well as their geolocations. It also provides users with all relative information about this winegrowing region and the wines produced.
After having launched the new website www.doqpriorat.org during the first months of 2014, this December, the Regulatory Board has taken their online profile a step further. The result has been the design and implementation of an App which is accessible from both Android and iPhone devices. This App. can be downloaded for free from all related “online stores”.
The DOQ Priorat application is an indispensable tool for anyone who is interested in the area and its wines as well as anyone who needs information about the wine tourism opportunities in the area. One of the main advantages of the App. is the geolocation system it uses which allows users to search for and locate any of the near to a hundred wineries which exist in the designation of origin or wine appellation today. This is done by using GPS technology and also includes the geolocation of cultural and wine tourism points of interest.
The different sections which the DOQ Priorat App. offers are: “villages”, “wineries”, “map”, “wines” and “favourites” and the information is available in the following languages of Catalan, Spanish, English and French. These languages are activated by default according to which language the mobile device uses.
The DOQ Priorat offers an interesting array of wine tourism options as well as superb scenery and heritage sites, amongst which are the villages which make up the designation of origin: Bellmunt del Priorat, Gratallops, el Lloar, Masos de Falset la Morera de Montsant, Poboleda, Porrera, Scala Dei, Solanes del Molar, Torroja del Priorat, la Vilella Alta i la Vilella Baixa. In terms of heritage sites, there are, amongst others, the Carthusian monastery of Scala Dei, the Montsant Mountain Range Nature Park and the Bellmunt Mining Museum which are open to the public all the year round.
