From Barcelona: Montserrat & Cava Winery Day Tour (Hotel Pickup)

Leave from your Barcelona accommodation
and see Montserrat and a cava winery in one day

After morning pickup at your accommodation in Barcelona, you will travel by air-conditioned minivan toward the Catalan coastal mountain range. The tour is limited to 8 participants, and a live guide speaking English or Spanish accompanies you all day. The tour lasts about 10 hours and ends back at your accommodation in Barcelona.

Learn the history of the Black Madonna at Montserrat Monastery

Set on a uniquely shaped rocky mountain 725 m above sea level, Montserrat Monastery is a Benedictine monastery famous as the sanctuary of the Virgin of Montserrat, also known as the Black Madonna. Your guide will show you around the monastery and explain its beautiful architecture and the history of this sacred site, which has drawn pilgrims for centuries.

The mountain is also home to the Santa Cova (Holy Cave), a pilgrimage site where, according to legend, the Virgin appeared to young shepherds.

Admire the rock formations of Montserrat Natural Park

Montserrat Natural Park, which surrounds the monastery, is a protected area known for its dramatic rock formations, unique plants and wildlife. Walk along the way to the monastery and through the park while taking in the majestic mountain views.

Taste cava at a family winery in Penedès

After Montserrat, you will head to the Penedès region, the heart of Catalonia's cava production, where sparkling wine has been made for almost five centuries. At Vins El Cep, a winery run by the same family since 1872, you will learn how cava is made with traditional methods passed down through generations using locally grown Penedès grapes, and go down into the underground cellars where cava ages for years.

After the guided wine tour, you will taste 3 cavas, each paired with traditional snacks. You will spend about 2 hours at the winery, enjoying the Catalan countryside and distant views of Montserrat mountain.

※ The cava cellar visit and tasting fee (approx. €24.50) is not included and must be paid separately.
