Escape to the natural landscape of the Montserrat mountains on a half-day sightseeing and wine tasting tour from Barcelona by bus. Enjoy breathtaking views of the mountain range, taste Catalan wines at a local winery located within a 10th-century castle, and walk through historic pathways, learning about the region from your local guide.

The strange shaped mountains of Montserrat is the location of a Benedictine monastery that has been a site of pilgrimage for centuries, thanks to its story of the miracles performed by the Virgin Mary and the fabled 12th-century image of Our Lady.

After a short visit to this historic site, head to a boutique winery, just a few minutes away, and tour one of the most important wineries in the region. Experience a visit to a historic winery set within a 10th-century castle, continuously owned by the same family for 36 generations. The winery has revived ancient local grape varieties, providing a unique glimpse into the region’s heritage.

Tours are kept to a maximum of 20 people for a more intimate experience, and include a tour of the vineyards and winery, where the local wines become older and wiser.

Thanks to your guide, you will sense the history, soil, sun, and rain that influence the 3 wines you will taste. Learn about the upkeep of the vines, the grape harvest, how the French oak barrels impact on the flavor, and more. To keep you on your feet, the tasting table will be laden with Spanish tapas.

Tour in English with VIP Winery Experience (Add-On): Private access to the barrel room with an intimate tasting of extra 3 premium wines. Upgrade your day with exclusive access to the winery’s private barrel cellar, normally closed to the public. Guided by an expert, you’ll taste 3 premium wines in an intimate setting, including samples drawn directly from oak barrels and large foudres with a traditional pipette. A rare and luxurious experience designed for true wine lovers.
