Guests discover Montserrat’s mountain scenery, religious landmarks, and Catalan flavors on this full-day experience. A panoramic cogwheel train ride sets the scene before a local guide leads a tour of the Monastery and Basilica. Pre-booked access to the Black Madonna shrine adds a distinctive highlight to the visit.

Extended free time gives travelers a chance to enjoy Montserrat at their own pace before the journey continues into the Pla de Bages wine region. At Oller del Mas, guests explore the estate with a guide and taste three regional wines.

A multi-course traditional Catalan lunch at a local restaurant completes the experience. The meal brings the region’s cuisine into focus after a day that pairs mountain views and cultural discovery with an introduction to local wine.
