This is a "Must Do" experience, HIGHLY recommended! - Wow, what a way to spend the day outside of Barcelona! We thoroughly enjoyed this guided tour of the iconic Montserrat Monastery and family-run cava winery in the Penedes region. The Monastery is a quintessential Barcelona day trip destination in itself and then to head to a locally owned cava winery and meet the owner just elevates the entire experience! This is a unique combination of 2 fabulous experiences wrapped in one. The guide Valentina was absolutely wonderful, transportation was top-notch and length of the experience was spot-on. I highly recommend this quaint personalized tour to anyone looking for a unique day trip while visiting Barcelona.

Wonderful , Awesome, Educational. Tour with Delicious Food and Great Wineb - Feliciano was a great tour guide.
He was able to describe the history and the area and food and wines in such a fun and entertaining way . It was so awesome to see such wonderful natural beauty as well as the splendor of the Cathedral and stain glass. The Joan Vinery experience was so unique .
Also, very intimate , family feeling .
Natalie was so enthusiastic with her explaining of the history and process of making cava wine . The welcome of cheese , crackers, chips with wine was just the beginning of tasting of some wines . The meal was made the owner's wife . Feliciano had us make the tomato bread , rubbing the garlic clove. Tomato and drizzling the olive oil. The meal was simple and so tasty. Sausage and white beans, coca Bread and piece of chocolate with sweet wine perfect way to end the meal. Feliciano answered all our questions.and gave us recommendations for restaurants , bars. .I asked about paella and churros.
His recommendations were excellent.
I would highly recommend going on this tour

A personal visit to Montserrat and Cava Vineyard - Highly recommend! Our Devour Tour guide, Valentina, was delightful, knowledgeable, so personable and so funny! Our small group was the first to arrive on Montserrat for a relaxing and serene tour of the Abbey, plus plenty of time on our own to wander. It’s breathtaking inside and out. From there we went on to Vineyard country, with an intimate tour of Joan Segura Pujadas. We learned about how cava is made (fascinating), saw the caves, and even labeled a bottle. Then into a jeep and out into the vineyard on farm roads. We got to try drinking from a Porron (trickier than it looks), and were served an incredible family lunch in a stone “field house”, with more Cava. Throughout, we were treated as friends and family. This was a highlight of our visit!
