Small Group Tour: Montserrat with Food & Wine Full Pack (with Black Madonna & Cogwheel train)
Mountain panoramas, sacred tradition, and elevated gastronomy come together in this comprehensive VIP journey to Montserrat and the surrounding wine region. The day begins with a scenic ascent on the Cogwheel Train, offering sweeping views as the rugged peaks rise above the Catalan countryside. Upon arrival, a guided visit introduces the monastery’s history and spiritual significance, including time to visit the revered Black Madonna inside the Basilica. Free time follows, allowing independent exploration of viewpoints and quieter corners of the mountain. After descending, the experience continues with a full traditional meal at a carefully selected local restaurant, showcasing classic Catalan cuisine. The itinerary then moves to a historic castle-winery, where a guided tasting of three wines highlights regional winemaking traditions. VIP access elevates the visit with an intimate private cellar experience, featuring three additional premium wines, including the rare opportunity to draw samples directly from aging vessels. Seamlessly paced, the tour offers Montserrat in its most complete and indulgent form.
