1.Montserrat & Cogwheel Train, Gourmet Wine Tasting & Tapas/Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6,290 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $81Our pick

Travel from Barcelona to Montserrat by air-conditioned bus and cogwheel train, tour the monastery and Basilica, then choose wine tasting with tapas or a full lunch at a castle winery. Guides such as Thais, Toni, Mariana, and Lesly are praised for clear history, humor, and thoughtful help.

“From the beginning to the end the trip was amazing. Vince, our tour guide was knowledgeable, personable and just an amazing human. Monserrat was unlike any place we have ever been. The beauty, history and spiritual feeling will be with us forever. The winery was beautiful. True Spain. If you do nothing else while in Barcelona do this. Side note, although beautiful the ride down the mountain was terrifying if you are afraid of heights but truly magnificent. Thank you Vince for a perfect day! 🥰Virgina”

Montserrat with Black Madonna & Medieval Winery with Tapas/Lunch

2.Montserrat with Black Madonna & Medieval Winery with Tapas/Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5,209 reviews · 9 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $65

Spend about 9.5 hours traveling from Barcelona to Montserrat and a family-run winery. Your English-speaking guide, such as Laia, Azul, Elena, or Luca, leads the monastery visit, then you choose free-time activities before a Catalan meal, cellar tour, and wine tasting.

“The travel was disjointed - several different tour groups sharing the same bus for different segments of the trip made it difficult to bond with the guide or the group. Felt like I was traveling solo. Monserrat. Was so crowded that I didn’t have enough time to visit all the sites. Our “skip the line” session to see the Black Madonna didn’t see us skip any lines because there were so many groups. Luca was the only saving grace for the trip. He was personable and knowledgeable”

In the first, we enjoyed the typical vineyard surroundings, while the second immersed us in a sea of oak barrels. The wine tasting at both places was truly remarkable. I highly recommend this if you are looking for a professional and interesting wine tour!!”
