Perfect way to round out our stay in Catalonia & Spain
We booked this tour on our last day in Barcelona, and our last day of vacation, for 3 practical reasons:
1. At the start of this trip, we loved their sister company – Walks: Best of Seville Walking Tour: Exclusive Early Alcazar Access, Cathedral & Jewish Quarter
2. Devour kindly agreed to let us keep a couple of small pieces of luggage on the tour van, so when we were done – we could relocate to a hotel closer to the airport.
3. This tour was a really nice way to wind down the end of the trip – I didn’t have to think, my feet didn’t hurt, and it was nice to get away from the crowds and into the countryside.
4. We love wine tourism!
The landscapes, the wine, and the people made this a fabulous experience! Feliciano was a charismatic, knowledgeable, and personable guide. We learned about his family, Barcelona, and the history of the region while we drove out to Montserrat. The vistas going and coming from Montserrat were breathtaking, and the monastery was surreal in the mist?! He led us through the cathedral – and we had a few minutes on our own. We then had a snack and then onto the art museum that Feliciano recommended – it did NOT disappoint! Super stars around every corner?! I only wish we would have had more time in the cathedral and museum. From there, we took a beautiful drive around the rocks and into the valley to the Joan Segura Pujadas Bodega, where we learned about their process of wine making and history. I even got a chance to help disgorge a bottle of cava! We then got to ride jeeps into the vineyard to sample some of the wine among the grapes, and I finally realized that Joan, the owner, was our driver?! He was unpretentious, down to earth, and friendly, as was our tour guide and his translator. It started raining so I think they may have had to change plans and take us back to the Bodega for our lunch and wine pairing – which was delicious! We bought wine, and ordered some to be shipped, so we can dream about our vacation now 6 months later. This was a perfect, easy, worry-free way to end our vacation.
