Montserrat & Wine Tour

Montserrat is Barcelona’s number one day trip and the majesty of the crenellated mountains, upon which the sacred abbey was built, is deservedly world famous.

Whilst you can get to Montserrat by train it is surprisingly costly, which is just one reason why Barcelona Life recommends this full-bodied excursion, which not only provides comfortable transport to the “jagged mountain”, but also takes you to a local restaurant for a Catalan lunch, followed by a tour of a boutique winery and tasting of three premium wines.

The excursion leaves Barcelona city centre at 10am every day, arriving at Montserrat around 11:30am, thus giving you plenty of time to explore the mountain’s natural park, along with the abbey, which is home to the sacred Black Madonna statuette. With a little luck, you’ll be able to sneak in to hear the magical L’Escolania Boys’ Choir sing at 1pm.

After exploring Montserrat, there’s time for a leisurely three-course meal, before your are treated to a guided tour of the family-run Oller de Mas winery, and rolling vineyards. After getting a good insight into wine production, it’s time to enjoy a wine tasting session with an expert oenologist, where you’ll get to see just how good wines from this part of Spain are.

We loved this tour when we did it ourselves, and we’re confident this particular trip will be one of the top highlights of your holiday.
