Montserrat, Food & Wine | Private tourPrivate tour
Barcelona is much more than a vibrant city. It lies in the core of a very rich region, filled with culture, medieval history and stunning landscapes. All of it spiced up by the healthy, flavorful and recognised Mediterranean gastronomy and its cherry on top: wine. Escape the city for one whole day to explore the heart of the region that surrounds it: Catalonia, one of Spain’s top wine-producing regions. During this full-day tour, be stunned by the views from Montserrat, one of the cradles of the region’s spirituality. Then dig deep into the soil by learning about the different terroirs in the surrounding country and tasting the range of flavours it can produce in the shape of wine (and olive oil!). In short, enjoy here a private and exclusive version of our top-selling tour that will carry you away!
Get ready for a fantastic field trip and jump into our private means of transportation to be greeted by your local English-speaking guide, who will accompany you all day. If not arranged in a different way our first stop will be the Montserrat Monastery, which is one hour away from Barcelona and will meet you hanging spectacularly from the cliffs of this idiosyncratic Catalan massif. Learn everything there is to know about this fantastic location by hand of your expert guide about the one-thousand-years-long history of this important site. If you don’t wish it differently you will enjoy a one hour long guided visit, followed by more than two hours of free time to explore the different landmarks this Natural Park has to offer. Amongst other things to employ your free time in, check out the amazing collection the Art Museum has to offer (from Caravaggio to Dalí), hike up the hills to be mesmerized by the views, taste local made cheeses and other products at the farmers’ market, or visit the famous Moreneta face to face, a dark-skinned 12th century wooden carving of the Virgin Mary that made this monastery world famous.
After this spectacular immersion in the local history and culture, get comfortable to enjoy the countryside that surrounds Barcelona through the window again as your guide takes you to a local restaurant. There, you will enjoy a full menu prepared with seasonal ingredients. You will be now ready to face the second part of this rural day trip, it's time to dive into the wine country! Your guide will take you to one of the beautiful low production focused, boutique wineries that we regularly collaborate with. We always pick cellars owned by local families with the richest historical background so we can keep on telling you about our traditions and culture through them. At the winery, normally placed in a beautiful and old typically Catalan country house, you will taste 4 top-end wines produced in the state while your guide tells you about the exciting art of wine tasting and you visit the facilities and their vineyards.
Take your last pictures of the scenery as the day comes to an end and the moment to go back to Barcelona approaches. Your way back to the city will take one hour approx, and might delight you with some last views of Montserrat as you drive by it!
