About this experience

Travel from Barcelona to Montserrat for a day trip. You will enjoy panoramic views of the mountain while riding in an air-conditioned bus. Guided tours will provide insights into the history of the monastery, followed by free time for independent exploration. Next, visit a boutique winery located in a 10th-century castle, which has been owned by the same family for 36 generations. Here, you can choose between a light tapas brunch or a multi-course traditional lunch, depending on your selected option. The experience includes a 3-wine tasting session and an overview of the wine-making process before returning to Barcelona. For an additional fee, you can opt for a VIP Winery Experience, which grants exclusive access to the winery's barrel cellar. This upgrade includes a guided tasting of 3 premium wines in a private setting, featuring samples drawn directly from barrels and foudres.
