Spend the day exploring the history and winemaking of the region near Barcelona on this 10-hour, small-group excursion. Not only will you have a chance to enjoy the area's spectacular scenery, you'll also gain a newfound appreciation for its religious significance at Montserrat and its many years of winemaking traditions at a local winery.

Leave Barcelona at 8:30am for a visit to Montserrat, a monastery that sits amongst the craggy mountains just outside of town. See the complex's famous Royal Basilica, which contains the 12th-century statue of the Black Virgin, a venerated icon. If you visit during the week, you'll also get to hear the angelic singing of La Escolania de Montserrat, one of the oldest children's choirs in Europe. During your visit you can also stop by the Museum of Monserrat to explore the site's history, or take a ride to the rack railway or cable car for sublime mountain views.

During the second half of your day you'll head to Catalonia's Penedes region to learn about the area's vast wine industry. Stop by a winery, where you'll have a chance to view the vast wine cellars and taste some of the wineries' top-notch products.

Great day trip. A good mix with the history portion in the morning followed by a relaxing glass of wine

The guide Arnauo (Arnold) was exceptional. The guide was able to tell us about the history of Monstserrat in great detail. The Monastery has a wonderful story, when I viewed the Madonna I experienced a moment of peace that I have never felt. These few minutes were one of the many highlights. We took the train to the top and hiked down, that was a good choice, much easier than hiking back up and taking the train down, therefore buy a one way ticket unless you want a challenging hike for the day. The second leg, the wine tour was also very quaint. Barcelona is just now getting back to having tourists and we felt very welcome. Our guide was very happy to be back to work and this was very encouraging, we were worried about traveling and intruding, but people were very kind.

We enjoyed the history the guide provided of the Barcelona region as well as the monastery. The views of Monserrat and the basilica were amazing. Also the tour of how cava is made was Fantastic!! Steven was a great guide who was willing to let the group explorer their own adventure as well provide interesting information throughout the tour. The wine was good. Don’t feel pressured to buy but if you like it, take advantage because of the price you get direct from the vineyard.

Montserrat Choir and Cava- Fun day

, Mar 2020
Cam was a fun and informative tour guide. We went with 2 families. The tour included the Montserrat tour as well as a Cava Tasting tour. We went to a Cava vineyard call Olive Batllori. Honestly the only negative is the food offering in the Montserrat Cafe. I think the nicer dining option was closed for remodeling so maybe the are better options there. However this is not a reflection on the tour as they have no control of that. Cam constantly gave us history and was very engaging. THe Cava portion was super interesting for the older kids as we went thru the Cellar and learned many facts about the process of making Cava. Of course, tasting the Cava was a fave. We went on a smaller bus that had capacity for about 15 people.

Our tour guide, Cam, was awesome! He had so much knowledge about Montserrat and the history of the area which helped make the bus ride pass quickly. When we got to Montserrat, he gave a detailed 45 minute ish tour of the site before letting us explore on our own for a few hours. The vineyard was awesome and after touring the facility and learning in detail the entire process of making wine, we sampled 4 bottles. I highly recommend this tour! Thanks for a great day!

I had such a great time. It was an intimate tour and I learned so much. Marta was really friendly and knowledgeable! We had enough time to explore the mountain and see the black Madonna. The winery was REALLY great too. But the best part was driving and listening to Marta! She even told us a bit about Catalunya politics! I recommend this tour

Beautiful views

PLEASE NOTE: the town of Montserrat is a religious site, It is mostly chapels and monk monasteries. That is the only thing to do there. The views were spectacular, worth the trip- however the town itself was a bit underwhelming, especially if you are not religious. We also visited a winery named Pares Balta and had a fantastic time there. Our winery guide was so informative and knowledgeable.
