Itinerary
Once in Barcelona Nord Bus Station, check-in at our Castlexperience office. Arrive 20 minutes before the tour starts to check in before proceeding to the buses on the ground floor.
Enjoy a guided tour in Montserrat and visit all the highlights of the monastery by the hand of your local tour guide. You will then enjoy some free time to a palate some traditional foods made by Montserrat monks or farmers, as well as soaking in this special place where nature, culture and spirituality meet.
If option selected. Oller del Mas is not a common winery – its superb ecological wines have earned plenty of awards in the recent years. In fact, one of its wines won the “Best Wine in Catalonia” award in 2018. But the cellar is not only special for its wines. You will take a stroll by the vineyards, learn how the wine is made, and discover all of its secrets. *We work daily with different low-production, family-owned boutique wineries. Due to logistic reasons, you might visit another cellar instead of Oller del Mas.

Traveler reviews
Very knowledgeable, warm,...
Very knowledgeable, warm, professional tour guides. Luca and his partners were awesome. Learned about the history of the places and beyond just local information.
Wine O’Clock
My mom and I had such a great experience. Carla was very knowledgeable about the history of Montserrat and we were given more than enough free time to roam the area for ourselves. Carla also knew her wine! The wine tasting was amazing and my mom and I bought so much based on her recommendations. 10/10 would go again!
Great day with Laia
Laia was wonderful. Her English was impeccable, and her knowledge of wine was perfect. Very enjoyable tour.
Exceptional Guided Tour of Montserrat and A Long Standing, Outstanding Spanish vineyard
Alejandro, or Ale, as he introduced himself. Took us on a detailed yet not overwhelming tour of Montserrat and an amazing vineyard thats been on the business of wine for longer than most countries. He was personable, spoke excellent English (going even so far as to even be able to give us a sense of both Spanish and Catalyn words/phrases in comparison to their English counterpart), had a wealth of knowledge, and even took our photos. Montserrat held an unbelievable nature and human beauty which he walked us through in detail; yet he allowed us our own time to explore as we wished. We had a lovely experience in the wine cellar and the tapas/wines were excellent. He even accommodated for my non-pork preference. I would highly recommend this experience.
Family Trip
Laia was an excellent guide. Thank you so much for having us.
