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.

Duration: 2 hours

Wonderful tour of the basilica at Monserrat. Lots of interesting facts and plenty of time to discover things on your own before going to the Oller del Mas winery. Good wine tasting and lunch. Dani made a great guide.

I loved the art museum and monastery. The bus ride was good. They gave us a history lesson that was very informative. The winery was ok. Lunch had mixed reviews. The chicken was very good. Bread was cold and hard, no butter. I didn't liked the dessert. The wine at lunch seemed water down, not much body. Our guide MJ was late getting to the bus. During lunch, we saw the other guides helping get their people served. MJ was no where to be found. When she was with us, she was pleasant and seemed knowledgeable.

We loved the tour of Montserrat. We visited on a Sunday and witnessed the end of services in the Basilica. The drive to the winery Oller Del Mar was beautiful. The winery itself was gorgeous and the wines were excellent. Our guide Toni was amazing and made each part of the trip more enjoyable. Highly recommend.
