Looking for a full-day escape from the city? You've found the perfect tour! Start with a dive into Barcelona’s history before heading to the stunning Montserrat Mountain. Explore the Abbey and Basilica with one of our expert, local guides, sharing the rich history passed down by the monks.
We keep our groups small for a more personal experience. Enjoy guided walks and free time to explore at your own pace, from a hike to St. Michael’s Cross to a Boy's Choir performance. (Check Montserrat’s website for activity availability.)
Next, we’ll visit a family-owned Catalan castle-winery, dating back to 964AD! Here, you’ll tour the estate, enjoy a multi-course regional meal, and taste three local wines, all produced sustainably.
Not sure which option to choose? Just decide whether you prefer 2.5 hours of free time in Montserrat (8:30 am departure) or a bit of extra sleep with a scenic ride on the Cogwheel Train (9:45 am departure). Both options are perfect!

This may have been one of the best tours I have ever taken in our many trips over the years. The tour was well-organized, left plenty of time to explore each stop, the scenery was spectacular, and the food and wine were delicious. I can’t say enough about our tour guide, Yerai. I think I learned more about the country from him in 30 minutes than days worth of visits to museums. His commentary was funny and interesting on top of it. It was an amazing day that I will not soon forget.

You’ll hear a lot of the history about the monestary and the wine family. The guide is very knowledgeable and attentive to his group! Xavi was the best! Bring a water bottle and a hand held fan.

This was an amazing experience and our tour guide, Montse, was amazing and gave me a deeper understanding and appreciation of Montserrat and the Catalan culture. I highly recommend this experience.

Super lovely experience. Even though it was a long day, there wasn’t a dull moment. The bus ride to and from Montserrat was smooth and surprisingly entertaining. Our guide, Elena, was incredibly outgoing and knowledgeable—she shared so much interesting information and really made an effort to connect with everyone on the tour. She did a fantastic job keeping things engaging throughout the day. Monserrat was definitely worth seeing and would do it again with a bit more time to see the choir. At the winery, the food was totally fine, and the selection of wines we got to try was delicious. Honestly, I only have positive things to say about the whole experience. Elena had a wealth of knowledge and a clear passion for history, culture, and wine, which made the day even more enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to do a relaxed day trip out of the city. Nina, Jay, & Annette
