Small Group Tour: Montserrat with Food & Wine & Cogwheel train with VIP Experience
Discover Montserrat’s mountain scenery and Catalan wine country on a journey that pairs cultural exploration with an exclusive winery experience. Guests ascend by panoramic cogwheel train before joining a guided visit to the Monastery and Basilica. Free time on the mountain offers a chance to enjoy the surroundings at their own pace.
The experience continues at Oller del Mas, where a guided estate visit introduces travelers to the winery. A tasting of three Pla de Bages wines showcases the region’s flavors, followed by a multicourse Catalan lunch at a local restaurant.
For a distinctive finish, guests enjoy a private visit to the aging room and taste three additional premium wines. Some come directly from their aging vessels, offering a closer connection to the winemaking process. This final tasting adds depth to a day of mountain discovery, regional cuisine, and wine.
