Meet your tour guide again to get on board for the second part of the tour. Oller del Mas cellar awaits!
- Oller del Mas - Oller del Mas is not a common winery – its superb ecological wines have earned plenty of awards in the recent years. In fact, one of its wines won the “Best Wine in Catalonia” award in 2018. But the cellar is not only special for its wines. You will take a stroll by the vineyards, learn how the wine is made, and discover all of its secrets. *We work daily with different low-production, family-owned boutique wineries.

Excellent day outside of the city! - All of the tour guides were so kind, helpful, informative and funny! In the bus ride to Montserrat they educated us on local Catalan culture, language and history. From start to finish the day was very well organized. At no point was I confused on where to go or what we would be doing. The wine tasting experience is a t a private vineyard in the region and was stunning! I thoroughly enjoyed this tour as a solo traveler and am looking forward to coming back to Barcelona again so my husband and I can book another tour with this company!

A wonderful day trip out of Barcelona to Montserrat. - The day was very pleasant indeed. Laura gave us interesting historical information. She was knowledgeable & had a great sense of humour. Loved being in Montserrat as it was a unique experience. Saw performances by local Catalan dancers which were memorable. The trip to the winery Oller del Mas was great. We enjoyed a tasty 3 course lunch with red & white wine & then went into a separate room for a structured tasting facilitated by Laura. The activities were varied & balanced.

Absolutely amazing tour! - This tour was absolutely amazing. First of all, Montserrat is indescribably beautiful and you cannot miss it if you are coming to barcelona. Also, the Ollers del Mas winery was absolutely beautiful as well and the farm to table dinner and wine tasted amazing. But I think what made this tour such an incredibly enjoyable way to spend a day is that Vince was probably the best tour guide I've ever had on any tour ever. He was extremely knowledgeable, very friendly and outgoing, and hilariously funny. I learned so much from him about the catalonian culture, the Montserrat history, and of course the wine.

Unforgettable Montserrat Tour with guide Luca - I recently visited Montserrat with our amazing tour guide, Luca, and it was an unforgettable experience. Luca was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate, making the history and culture of Montserrat come alive.
The scenic cable car ride, breathtaking mountain views, and serene Benedictine Monastery were highlights.

Awesome views, more wine - Awesome tour, definitely worth a trip to Montserrat and the winery when in Barcelona. Alfonso and the other guides were very knowledgeable and we had a great time! Could use a little more wine during the winery portion though, or maybe the option to buy a bottle at the start of lunch.
