Is a Montserrat & Wine Tour from Barcelona worth it? In this Barcelona travel vlog, we take a full-day Montserrat and winery tour after disembarking Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady — and it turned out to be one of the best excursions of our entire Mediterranean trip. If you're looking for: • The best day trip from Barcelona • Montserrat Monastery tour tips • A Barcelona wine tasting experience • A small group Montserrat & vineyard excursion • Or ideas for extending your cruise stay — this vlog will help you decide if it’s worth the time and money. ⛰️ Montserrat Monastery We visited the Basilica of Santa Maria de Montserrat with skip-the-line entry included, explored the monastery, walked to panoramic viewpoints, and browsed the local food markets. Montserrat is around 1 hour 15 minutes from Barcelona, and those dramatic mountain peaks are absolutely unforgettable. 🍷 Oller del Mas Winery – Wine & Lunch Next stop: Oller del Mas winery in Manresa — a 10th-century castle vineyard owned by the same family for 36 generations. This experience included: • 3-course traditional Catalan lunch • 6 wine tastings • Vineyard & cellar tour • Time overlooking the vines For €78–€90 per person, this Montserrat and wine tour offers incredible value. 🚢 Cruise Context This vlog forms part of our Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady – Irresistible Med & Rome itinerary, but this episode focuses on exploring beyond the cruise and making the most of Barcelona after disembarkation.
