Description

The day will begin with a morning pick-up from your Barcelona hotel and a drive in an air-conditioned minivan from the city center to where the sedimentary rock formations of Montserrat rise above the landscape. You’ll learn about the many myths and spiritual significance of the mountain. Anticipate the purest wine and the lively countryside. Then, it will be time to hike, taste wine and trek your way back to happiness. Choose from several hiking routes, each with varying lengths and difficulty. There are difficulty levels for families and novice hikers, featuring an easy 2-hour walk with spectacular views from the top of St. Joan funicular railway (tram fare not included), or more difficult ones like a 5-hour round trip hike to the mountain summit along the scenic St. Jeroni Trail, with a rewarding visit to the famous Benedictine monastery. After a short transfer, you will enjoy tapas time with amazing wine and sparkling cava at the traditional Catalan country house of Ca n’Estella, a family winery in the Penedés región where you will taste Clot del Oms and Cava Rabetllat i Vidal, both internationally awarded wines. You’ll experience a unique and unforgettable place, including a blind wine tasting. Discover the secret and history of this charming place. After your day in nature among the history and majesty of Montserrat, and the wine tasting in Penedés, relax on your return ride to Barcelona.
