Spain, Catalonia, From Barcelona - Montserrat, Wine and Brunch

Get ready to create memories filled with history, flavors, and fun in the heart of Pla del Bages. We can’t wait to welcome you!

This half day tour experience is designed to showcase the beauty of Barcelona’s countryside and the ancient wine region of Pla del Bages in a warm, welcoming, and personal format. In line with our commitment to sustainable tourism and the revival of ancient grape varieties, such as the long-forgotten Red Picapoll, which had been neglected for decades, you’ll enjoy an eco-friendly wine tasting experience featuring organic wines that honor the region’s rich heritage paired with local tapas.

Your journey begins at Barcelona Nord Bus Station, where you’ll meet your enthusiastic local guide. Together with your group, you’ll set off to explore the Montserrat Monastery, a site of spiritual significance and natural beauty. This magical mountain has also played a vital role in shaping the landscape and climate of the surrounding Pla del Bages wine region (one of the oldest in Catalonia). Next, step into history as you visit a traditional family-owned estate. Nestled in the heart of Pla del Bages, with Montserrat as its stunning backdrop, this ancient estate reflects centuries of winemaking traditions passed down through 36 generations. Learn about the rich history of the Oller family as you taste three organic wines made from the region's flagship grape variety: the Red Picapoll. Their excellence is recognized with awards like the 2023 Vinari for Best Wine Tourism Accommodation. Please note that tour departure starts at 8:45 h and a return time of 15:30/15:45 h.
