Enjoy a guided tour in Montserrat and visit all the highlights of the monastery by the hand of your local tour guide.

Meet your tour guide again to get on board for the second part of the tour. Oller del Mas cellar awaits!

Duration: 2 hours

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. 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.

I had a fantastic day visiting the historic Montserrat. The views were stunning. Our guide, Mariana, was excellent, providing great background info for the trip. The wine & tapas after were a nice way to wrap up the day. The transportation by bus was also smooth and comfortable!

We booked this tour for our family of 4 and were treated with a great history lesson and incredible views (& wine). The tour started off with Catalonian history which was essential for understanding the culture and lifestyle. Our multitalented tour guide MJ was extremely knowledgeable and even more charming — one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. The tour began at Montserrat where we covered history and had free time to roam afterwards. Next, we went to a winery for lunch and wine tasting that was over 1000 years old and has been in the same family for 37 generations. MJ made us feel like a family and was great at getting our tour group to talk to & get to know one another. The food and wine were excellent. Both Montserrat and this winery were so magical. A great tour whether you come with family, friends or loved ones.

For a trip to Barcelona this was a absolute must. The decision to book with Castle Experience in NO WAY disappointed. It was a incredible experience at a great value. There’s no way I could have asked for more Tour guides : Each of the guides we had clearly were very knowledgeable about Montserrat, the vineyard Oller del Más and of Barcelona in general. They spoke with enthusiasm and pride . Tias began our tour speaking about the Catalonia culture and the influences that made Barcelona the beautiful city it is today. Very informative. MJ ( Maria Jose ) did a complete song and dance for the group ( literally). Her positive energy and flair was truly contagious. MJ was truly impressive as a tour guide. She was well educated in all facets of the tours and made sure to keep the group engaged and entertained without being overwhelming. She was always in control and ready to provide her undivided attention any time a question was asked. MJ was never seen without a smile. I cannot imagine a better guide. Montserrat Tour : The Montserrat tour was pretty much all inclusive. We were rushed to the beginning of the line. Our guide was well versed not only in the different quarters of the location but even the history. Even if you don’t care for the idea of visiting the monastery I recommend using Castle experience just for the views and architecture. Wine Tour : The tour of the Oller del Más facility was the icing on the cake. I’ve been to many vineyard but this was HANDSDOWN the best I’ve been to yet. The views of the mountains and overall landscape were truly breathtaking. The food and seating area was top notch. I felt as if I was at a five star restaurant. I wish I could have caught the waitress name so reference in my review. Overall the tour was incredible ! I’m not even half way through my trip and I can easily say todays experience will forever be in my memory. Thank you Castle experience tour company and MJ for being amazing.
