This was absolutely my favorite thing we did the whole trip! Cesar was great - so nice, funny, personable, super knowledgable about everything. Monserrat was beautiful. The lunch we had was some of the best food we had in Barcelona and the wine was plentiful. The winery was also beautiful and the wines were so good. Just so cool to get a tour from the actual wine maker. I wished we had booked more tours with them!

This was a great full-day trip going to Montserrat, then a traditional Catalan lunch in a nearby village, then to a winery for wine and cava tasting. There were only three of us, plus our wonderful driver, Angel, so it was a really nice size to be able to ask questions and feel like you were getting personalized attention. Montserrat is really beautiful. Even as a completely non-religious person, I enjoyed the visit and thought it was interesting. We were above the cloud-line the entire time, so it felt otherworldly. Lunch was great, as was the very informative visit tot he winery. All in all, a great day that I would recommend if you are looking to see something outside the city.
What an amazing time!! Our tour guide Fernando was so great and made the day so memorable. Worth the trip outside of the city!! Beautiful views, hiking, amazing lunch and wine tour!
Cesar was so nice and knowledgable, we feel we made a new friend!
