Tenerife is known not only for its volcanic landscapes and paradisiacal beaches but also for its vibrant wine scene. The island's winemaking tradition dates back to the 15th century and continues to be a major attraction for wine lovers. From its earliest plantations to the present day, viticulture in Tenerife has evolved, offering a variety of wineries that are worth exploring. Here are the must-visit wineries that will allow you to enjoy the island's rich wine culture.
1. Bodegas Monje
Located in El Sauzal, in northern Tenerife, Bodegas Monje is one of the oldest and most renowned wineries on the island. Founded in 1750, this winery has preserved a rich winemaking tradition now combined with modern innovations. Their vineyards are cultivated on volcanic soils and specialize in grape varieties such as Listán Negro, Listán Blanco, Negramoll, and Marmajuelo.
At Bodegas Monje, you can not only taste a wide range of red, white, and rosé wines but also participate in unique wine tourism experiences. From tastings of "underwater wines" that have been matured in the depths of the ocean to helicopter or stargazing tours, this winery offers activities that go beyond the typical tasting. Additionally, their guided tours include the opportunity to learn about the winery's history and enjoy cultural and theatrical events in the vineyard setting.
