On this private experience, you’ll explore the Montserrat Monastery with your English-speaking guide, who will share the stories and legends that shape this sanctuary.
You’ll ascend the mountain on the scenic cogwheel train, taking in panoramic views of its iconic peaks. Montserrat is embraced by two of Catalonia’s historic wine regions: DO Pla de Bages to the north and DO Penedès to the south, both home to vineyards dating back over 2,000 years.
Depending on availability and preference, you’ll visit a family-owned organic winery in one of these regions, where you’ll learn how local climate and soil influence the character of the wines. Your visit concludes with a Catalan charcuterie and cheese brunch, featuring cured meats, artisan cheeses, and local specialties, paired with a tasting of four high-end organic wines, both sparkling and still.
Designed at a relaxed pace, this day offers a thoughtful blend of cultural heritage and winemaking tradition.

1Abadia de Montserrat
After a scenic ascent on the cogwheel train, you’ll arrive at the Monastery of Santa Maria de Montserrat, a living sanctuary founded almost a thousand years ago and still home to a working Benedictine community. As you walk through the basilica and monastery grounds, you’ll learn how generations of monks have preserved not only the faith and traditions of this sacred site, but also its music, art, and education. The combination of ancient devotion, dramatic mountain landscapes, and quiet spiritual atmosphere makes Montserrat not only a site of religious significance, but also a place for reflection, awe, and connection.

2Oller del Mas
After your visit to the monastery, the day continues at Oller del Mas, a family-owned organic winery in DO Pla de Bages, set at the foot of Montserrat. Depending on availability, your visit may alternatively take place at Finca Ca n’Estella in DO Penedès. Both estates offer an authentic, family-driven approach to winemaking. If you are particularly interested in Cava, mention it in the comments when booking and we will do our best to arrange your visit to Penedès. If you prefer red wines, Oller del Mas is known for its organic, character-driven wines shaped by the local soils and microclimate. If no preference is indicated, Oller del Mas will be our primary winery, with Ca n’Estella offered as an alternative depending on availability and operational considerations.
