5 wineries to visit in Tenerife

Tenerife has so much to offer. And that’s what the thousands of tourists who visit us every year know. Beyond the sun and the beach, the island has a rich oenological heritage that is the ideal attraction for lovers of good wine. With its five designations of origin (Abona, Tacoronte-Acentejo, Valle de Güímar, Valle de la Orotava and Ycoden-Daute-Isora), the island has become a reference point for oenological tourism. To make it easier for you to organise your oenological route, we want to present you with 5 wineries that will be a must-visit on your holiday.
