You will then enjoy some free time to a palate some traditional foods made by Montserrat monks or farmers, as well as soaking in this special place where nature, culture and spirituality meet. Meet your tour guide again to get on board for the second part of the tour. Oller del Mas cellar awaits!
- Oller del Mas - 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.

Average - My guide, Luka, was excellent!!!! He is 5 stars! He is knowledgeable and friendly. I would give a lower rating if not for the guide (ie. he brought it up to a 4). But the tour structure is average, not enough wine (3 samples with additional wine available for purchase) and the tapas were very limited (1 slice of bread, 2 pieces of cheese, 3 thin slices of meat, 1 small chunk of tortilla, and 1 croquette). Plenty of free time available. But I would choose a different wine tour in the future.

Disappointed in Barcelona - Upon our scheduled arrival, we found no one to welcome us at the designated meeting point, which happened to be a chaotic bus station, not the ideal location for a meetup. Despite our efforts to locate the tour company representative, we were unsuccessful and only received a notification revealing their departure at 8:56, a disheartening experience to say the least. Our anticipation of visiting Montserrat was unfortunately left unfulfilled.
