Montserrat, Food & Wine |
Description
Do you want to enjoy a full experience and still be in Barcelona for an afternoon of exploring? We got you covered! We would like to present you our top-selling combo, the Montserrat, Tapas & Wine option! Your day will start with our guides making the most out of your bus time, narrating the history of Barcelona in the most fun and engaging way! And yes, we will have mercy and allow some "siesta" time. Read more...
By the end of your time-travel journey, you will already be in Catalonia's mystical mountain, Montserrat! Once there, one of our passionate guides will share the secrets of this very special place, just as the monks themselves shared them with us while designing this tour. You will explore the Monastery and the Basilica together, and then we'll give you some free time for you to choose between the many options available! If you choose the 9:45 departure, you'll have a chance to access the throne of the Virgin Mary and listen to the Boy's Choir (tickets and availability for both activities must be checked on Montserrat's website).
Next stop is Oller del Mas; you are in for a treat! We are talking about a family-owned traditional Catalan castle-winery that belongs to the same family since the day it was built back in 964 AD! This 10th-century gem happens to be older than the monastery you just visited, and they only open their doors to us with the promise of keeping our tours sustainable towards the region! Their wine production is completely eco-friendly, and you will get the chance to experience the estate's beautiful vineyards, enjoy a selection of delicious local tapas, and taste three distinct D.P. Pla de Bages wines. A day to remember!
