Montserrat Full Day Tour with Castle-Winery Lunch & Wine Tasting
Montserrat full day with a castle-winery lunch and tasting, nine hours. The long version of the small-group half day, for people who want the mountain and a proper lunch.
Spend a full day blending spirituality, mountain landscapes and the very best of Catalan gastronomy. Depart from Barcelona to Montserrat, one of Catalonia's most emblematic mountains, a National Park and place of pilgrimage for over a thousand years. Board the iconic cogwheel train (cremallera) up to the monastery, with breathtaking views of the holy mountain. At the top, your guide leads a 45-minute tour of the Benedictine monastery, founded in the 11th century and home to the venerated Black Virgin (La Moreneta), patroness of Catalonia. The visit closes with an exclusive tasting of traditional liquors handcrafted by the monks: ratafía and the famous Aromes de Montserrat. A historic Catalan castle-winery with stunning vineyard views awaits, where you'll enjoy a traditional Catalan tapas lunch with dessert. Your guide leads a walk through the vineyards and historic estate, paired with a tasting of three signature DO Pla de Bages wines, all committed to sustainable production.

What travellers say
★ Booked 4 months ahead, cancelled on the day before because of THEIR mistake Don’t bother. We booked this back in May for a September tour date, and LESS THAN A DAY BEFORE THE TOUR—20 hours before, to be exact—they cancelled because THEY overbooked the tour. They offered us a make-up tour 2 days later, but we had a flight out to our next location that day. Overbooking is absolutely something this tour operator would’ve been aware of in advance.

★★★★★ Great Day Trip Kyra was an amazing tour guide and so knowledgeable and authentic. It was the perfect mix of history (for my husband) and wine (for me). The small farmers market at Montserrat was so enjoyable and everyone was so friendly.
