The day begins with a guided visit of Montserrat, a mountain sanctuary that has welcomed pilgrims for over a thousand years. You will explore the Monastery and the Basilica with your local guide and, thanks to our pre-booked access, visit the throne of La Moreneta (the Black Madonna), patroness of Catalonia, without waiting in queue. The guide covers the history, the traditions and the artistic heritage of the monastery along the way.
The tour then heads into the Catalan wine country to Bages 964, a gourmet restaurant surrounded by the vineyards of the D.O. Pla de Bages, with a 10th-century medieval castle and its historic winery within the same area. The lunch is a three-course menu — starter, main course and dessert with options to choose from — with 2 glasses of Catalan wine (red or white) per person included.
Each course is prepared with seasonal, local produce. The Montserrat massif is visible throughout the meal — the panorama is the reason the restaurant was chosen for this tour.
Return to Barcelona in the mid-afternoon. A premium option in our Montserrat catalogue, designed for couples, gourmets, anniversary travellers and special occasions.
