Montserrat with Black Madonna & Medieval Winery with Tapas/Lunch
Overview
Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime day trip to Montserrat from Barcelona.
Take in the panoramic views of the mountain as you ride our air-conditioned bus and discover the history of its monastery by the hand of our passionate guides. Enjoy free time to explore on your own.
You'll continue towards a boutique winery (only Tapas and Lunch options). The cellar is in a 10th century castle owned by the same family for 36 generations, with magnificent views of the mountain you just visited.
Savour traditional flavors with a light tapas brunch or a multi-course traditional lunch at the winery (depending on the option selected). Learn about the wine-making process, and enjoy a 3-wine-tasting session before traveling back to Barcelona.
Add-On: VIP Winery Experience - Upgrade your day with exclusive access to the winery's barrel cellar, usually closed to the public. Guided by an expert, taste 3 premium wines in an intimate setting, including samples drawn directly from barrels and foudres.
