Follow our tour and sample Tenerife’s finest wines

Tenerife’s winemaking tradition dates right back to 1497, when the Portuguese Fernando de Castro planted the first vineyard. It was just one year after the end of the Conquest of the Canary Islands. The island’s new residents found the volcanic soil particularly attractive, and cultivation soon commenced. In fact, these Tenerife wines became so famous that even Shakespeare and Sir Walter Scott named them in their works.

Tenerife is the proud home of five designations of origin: Abona, Tacoronte-Acentejo, Valle de Güímar, Valle de la Orotava and Ycoden-Daute-Isora. The island has become a leading wine tourism destination! Here are Princess Hotels and Resorts’ five top winery recommendations, located across the island from north to south. Treat yourself to a day among the vines, and get ready to be bowled over by the striking wine flavours.

Bodegas Monje

One of the island’s most renowned wineries, Bodegas Monje, is in the municipality of El Sauzal to the north. Thanks to its long winemaking tradition, this Tenerife winery has become an industry leader. They grow several varieties of grapes: Listán Negro, Listán Blanco, Negramoll, Marmajuelo, Tintilla and Vijariego Negra, all used to create delicious red wines. The winery is also recognised as an excellent producer of white and rosé wines, all meticulously macerated in oak barrels.

The winery offers various wine experiences, every day of the week. Examples include brunches as well as produce and wine tastings. And you can expect the unexpected; they offer tastings of wines aged in the deepest depths, as well as ‘helicopter tastings’ and sessions beneath the stars. They also offer other unique activities like picnics, and even runs through their vineyards – if you’re feeling active.

Or, you could just take a guided tour. In short, an essential stop-off on your tour of the island.
