Awesome experience - It was really amazing and so fun! The church we visited was so beautiful and the views were amazing! The lunch was so fresh and tasty and our tour guide was very friendly and nice! I don’t drink but I had so much fun at the vineyard. I got to try the grapes and go down into the cellar which was my favourite part. It was 100% worth it!

Great Tour! - We had a truly wonderful day on our tour of Montserrat, followed by lunch and a wine tasting. The entire experience was the perfect balance of nature, culture, and relaxation—exactly what we needed after the bustle of busy days in Barcelona. Our guide Nuria was absolutely lovely—warm, knowledgeable, and made the entire day feel seamless. Montserrat was breathtaking, with its dramatic mountain views and rich history. After exploring, we enjoyed a delicious lunch at a charming restaurant in Penedès, which felt authentically local and peaceful. The visit to Parés Baltà winery was a highlight. We loved learning about their biodynamic practices, and of course, the wines were incredible. It was a beautiful, unhurried experience in the countryside that we’d highly recommend to anyone looking for a more grounded and enriching day trip from Barcelona. Thanks Nuria!

Book it! - This day was one of the most memorable experiences from our trip to Barcelona. The tour guides (we got 2 on this trip) were laid back, friendly and knowledgeable. The process for booking and where to meet was easy and clear. This is so reasonably priced for an entire day of fun, sightseeing and delicious food. This is a must see / do activity.

Great experience! - Nu was a wonderful guide. Montserrat is something that must be seen to be believed. And the Winery tour was excellent. Nu is very passionate about this region, and she knows so much about the history.
