Montserrat Tour from Barcelona Including Lunch and Wine Tasting

Description

On this 8 hours Montserrat wine tour we will discover the magnificent beauty and rock formations of the UNESCO world heritage site Montserrat mountains, which are a stunning and movie like setting for a Basilica church and chapel perched on the mountainside at an altitude of 720m and with over 1000 years of dramatic history.

Montserrat is the spiritual heart of Catalunya, home to the mythical 12th century Black Virgin La Moreneta statue,  an order of Benedictine monks and the oldest boys’ choir in Europe called “Escolania de Montserrat.

Our morning Montserrat visit includes a scenic drive all the way up to the monastery. Then we guide you through the Basilica and see the Virgin of Montserrat.

1 hour lunch break at Montserrat. Meals are not included and guests can choose from various lunch options.

After Montserrat, you will visit Oller del Mas winery, located in a castle which dates back from the 10th century. It will be time for a meal at the winery restaurant, where you will be served a multi-course, regional menu. Following your meal, you will be introduced to the vineyards which are located just by the house and you will earn about the production process and other winemaking secrets of this historic winery. Before heading back to Barcelona, you will enjoy a tasting session with three organic wines marinated with local cheeses. You will be returned at the end of the day to your original departure point.
