- Montserrat - Montserrat is a monastery perched atop a unique rock mountain, marking the highest point of the Catalan lowlands. It is home to “la Moreneta,” also known as the Black Madonna. According to legend, Benedictine monks discovered the statue and, unable to move it, decided to build their monastery around it. Montserrat was declared a National Park in 1987 and is now a global pilgrimage destination. Visitors can enjoy a 45-minute guided tour in small groups, followed by 2 hours of independent exploration. Activities include visiting the Museum, sampling the monastery’s homemade liquor, taking a leisurely walk to Saint Miguel’s cross for stunning views, riding the Sant Joan Funicular, capturing beautiful photos, and purchasing local products at the farmer’s market.
- Abadia de Montserrat - The monastery’s origins are unclear, but it is believed that the Virgin of Montserrat (La Moreneta) was discovered around 880. Tours at 8.30 am and 1.30 pm include tickets to see La Moreneta. Legend has it that the monks constructed the monastery around the statue. Today, the monastery is still active with over 70 monks. The basilica of Montserrat, which began construction in the 16th century, now houses an art museum and is the venue for performances by la Escolania, one of Europe’s oldest Boys’ Choirs, during religious ceremonies (available on the 9.30 am tour).

Great experience with the best possible price-performance 👍🏻 Successful all round - This tour was just great all round – you couldn’t have planned it better! From Barcelona to Montserrat, then on to Cellar Abadal: a real experience for all the senses.
Montserrat was impressive, the atmosphere was special – and at the latest during the wine tasting at Abadal it was clear: This is very special. The wines were perfectly matched, high quality and made with a lot of love. The 3-course menu was just outstanding – great food, great presentation and a direct hit in terms of taste.
A huge thank you goes to our tour guide Miro: super personable, attentive, relaxed and with just the right mix of knowledge, humor and good mood. You immediately notice that he loves his job – and that makes all the difference. With him you don't feel like you're on a standard tour, but like you're traveling with a good friend.
A special highlight was Abadal itself: a beautiful winery with incredibly warm people. The Abadal family puts so much passion, history and warmth into everything they do – you can feel that in every glass and every course of the menu.
Conclusion: An unforgettable day, perfect food, fantastic wines, a great guide and a lot of Catalan joie de vivre. Absolute recommendation – we would do it again immediately! 🇩🇪❤️🍷

Great trip! And even better tour guide! - The trip had limited physical activity but a lot to see and do on the trip. Our tour guide, Vince, was AMAZING!! We learned so many fun facts that were different from all other tours we’ve taken - highly recommend any tours with him - he will not steer you wrong! Very knowledgeable on wine and the region. And so fun/upbeat and inclusive! All ages in our family (young and old!) found him to be fun and engaging!

History with great Wine & Food - The tour was excellent. Monserrat tour did not include the up-close Black Madonna, but the tour was better than one we did years back when an up-close was included. Val was a great tour guide with many pop culture references. The cheese from the farmers market that has been going on for 200 years is excellent and unless you are flying via UK, will pack nicely in luggage. The wine pairing and food was excellent. Plenty of great wine with excellent food. You are able to purchase wine, honey, and olive oil at the end. We highly recommend this small group tour.

Incredible tour - This was the best tour we have had in Barcelona. Miro was incredible, fun, smart, and informative. Montserrat is beautiful and the wine tour was so so worth it. The scenery can not beat and listening to the history alongside it was the best way to experience such a wonderful and important part of Barcelonas history. The amazing wines and lunch were icing on the cake for an absolutely marvelous day.
