Wine tasting of some of the winery's most exquisite wines
The sounds and smells of the winery have been part of my life ever since I was a child. The grape harvest, the juice-infused air, racking, the barrels, the wines, the ploughed ground and vine pruning are part of that atmosphere of wine that has always dominated the everyday language spoken at home.

I visited the Bodega on a Saturday after walking up the hill from the House of Wine. I booked onto the wine tour and mojo workshop and loved every minute. The tour was really informative and the guide, Lola made me feel really at home. I was greeted by the Owner, Felipe upon arrival which was a lovely touch. The mojo workshop was excellent and I had an amazing time learning the recipes. All the staff were very friendly and the whole trip was incredible. I would definitely return.

We booked the Mojo Workshop & Wine Tasting as a surprise gift for our friends' birthday and it was a great activity! If you love good wine and good food, this is something for you! It was very quiet during our tour so we got lots of opportunities to make photos and ask questions. The workshop was inside, we had great laughs with the chefs and learned how to make traditional food. The best part however was eating our lunch, combined with 3 different wines (one for starter, one for the main and one for dessert!) Afterwards we took our drinks outside to chat with the owner and enjoy the sun and the beautiful scenery! Highly recommended!!

We were shown around the vineyard by a really passionate guide with a lot of knowledge about the wine production. We also took up a mojo workshop which was really interesting. We always liked the Canarian potatoes and mojos with it, the experience of making it ourselves and knowing the cultural history behind it was really one of a kind. I would totally suggest this place for anyone that's looking to spend quality time in Tenerife.
