Guests pair Montserrat’s mountain scenery with Catalan food and wine on this guided experience. A panoramic cogwheel train ride offers views along the way before a local guide leads a visit to the Monastery and Basilica. Approximately 45-60 minutes of free time allows travelers to admire the surrounding scenery or browse the farmers market at their own pace.

The journey continues to Oller del Mas, a family-owned castle-winery dating to 964. Guests explore the estate on a guided tour, discovering the historic setting before settling in for traditional Catalan tapas and dessert.

A tasting of three wines from the Pla de Bages region complements the meal and introduces guests to local wine. The experience brings together mountain views, religious landmarks, and regional flavors, with time for both guided discovery and independent exploration.
