About this activity

Combine Catalonia's most iconic attractions in one curated day: explore the otherworldly granite peaks and spiritual heart of Montserrat Abbey, then descend into the Art Nouveau cellars of Codorníu to taste award-winning cava with expert guidance. This private eight-hour journey balances cultural immersion, natural beauty, and gastronomic discovery.

Enjoy a private day trip from Barcelona to Montserrat and Codorníu Cava Cellars, combining mountain heritage with Catalonia’s iconic sparkling wine tradition. Be picked up from your hotel and travel comfortably by car with your private local guide to the historic Codorníu cellars. Explore this Art Nouveau landmark on a guided underground train ride through vast galleries, finishing with a tasting of two different cavas led by a wine expert. Continue to Montserrat, home to dramatic mountain landscapes and the renowned Montserrat Abbey. Visit the Basilica, see La Moreneta with skip-the-line tickets, and enjoy panoramic viewpoints on a gentle walk toward the Cross of Sant Miquel. This well-organized private tour balances culture, scenery, and tasting at a relaxed pace.
