Stop At: Oller del Mas, Carretera Igualada Km 91, 08241 Manresa Spain

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. Firstly, you will enjoy a full traditional lunch prepared in their restaurant with seasonal ingredients. A full restoring meal to keep going with this full day experience! After lunch, you will take a stroll by the vineyards and enjoy an introduction to wine tasting thanks to your tour guide, who will provide with three local wines to taste and many explanations!
*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.

Guille was an amazing guide. Informative, entertaining, and so helpful throughout our day. We had just enough time at Montserrat for us... If you are a history buff and want to spend a lot of time seeing everything there, you'll need more time, but for us 2 hours was enough. The winery was gorgeous, lunch delicious, and the wine was excellent. Was fun to learn more about Catalonian wine.

Outstanding Montserrat and Winery tour with our guide Bel! The tour was a good mix of a guided group tour, and free time to explore Montserrat on our own. Great opportunity to learn about the history of Catalonia, and meet new friends. Bel proved to be a great sommelier in addition to tour guide! We had a great time and we most highly recommend the tour to anyone looking for a day outside the city!

Montserrat is a Spain Must see! The views are simply breathtaking, the elements to visit are amazing and you can eat great spanish cheese if you want to as well! I'm glad that I took the longer trip to Montserrat, I could even stayed there an hour or 2 more, there's a lot of elements to see there. The vineyard was pretty nice, the wine there are pretty unique and the castle was beautiful. Our guide, Laura, was very knowledgeable and was super sweet! We love our experience and I'm glad that she was there to guide us to get the best experience that we could get during our trip! Highly recommend this to anyone visiting this area!

TL;DR version...Montserrat was rushed and had a heavy sales pitch with too much time at the winery. The tour departed on time from the Barcelona bus station, but better signage for where to meet the bus would have been helpful—some fascinating local history from one of the guides before arriving in Montserrat. Unfortunately, once we arrived at Montserrat, we had limited free time to explore, even though our guide had mentioned several hikes that would take well over an hour. We managed to squeeze in a quick trip on the funicular to enjoy the expansive vistas, but we had to rush back to see a few things in the village before a cursory walkthrough of the cathedral, which we could have easily skipped. Another bus ride to the winery for a very forgettable meal. We opted not to have tapas since we have been enjoying that across Spain and hoped to find something more representative of the Catalan region. Instead, we were served some uninspiring roasted chicken. The wine was OK, but not great. Following the meal, we spent too much time walking around the winery, followed by a tasting. Overall, this tour seemed to be a paid experience on behalf of the winery. Should we have done more research before booking? Yes, but the description needs to be more accurate, especially since you will spend 3+ hours on the bus, including the trip from Montserrat to the winery. On the plus side, our guide, Lesly, was very good and what you would expect—personable and knowledgeable. So, this review and rating do not reflect her versus the tour schedule and activities. If we have an opportunity to return to Barcelona we hope to revisit Montserrat via train and have more time to explore.

Spectacular day visiting Montserrat with stunning views and learning the history from our knowledgeable tour guide, followed by delicious lunch and wine tasting at scenic winery. Definitely take the finicular when in Montserrat and wear good sneakers to go down. Highly recommend this full day tour when going to Barcelona.
