But if you’re into wine, scenic landscapes, and a taste of local Canarian flavors, this tour could be a delightful addition to your Tenerife trip.

Why Choose This Vineyards Tour?

We love discovering local food and drink when traveling, and this tour hits all those marks in Tenerife. Set on a high-altitude vineyard, the setting itself feels special. Surrounded by volcanic terrain and towering pine trees, you’ll be in a landscape unlike any other. The fact that it’s organic also adds to its appeal for eco-conscious travelers or those keen to support sustainable agriculture.

What makes this experience stand out is the blend of scenic beauty, educational insight, and delicious tasting. You get to learn how these heroic mountain vineyards are cultivated, which is particularly interesting since mountain viticulture involves unique challenges and techniques compared to flat-land vineyards. The guides are praised for being friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience engaging and accessible whether you’re a wine connoisseur or a casual enthusiast.

What to Expect During the Tour

The tour begins near the “FERRERA” sign, where you meet your guide and start your journey into the vineyard. From there, you’ll stroll through the organic vines, making stops where you’ll learn how the old vines are grown and how wine is made in this volcanic landscape.

One of the highlights is tasting two wines with Denomination of Origin right on site. These are homegrown, organic wines, and reviews show visitors really appreciated both the quality and the opportunity to taste wines that are produced locally. The guide explains the nuances of the cultivation process, and you’ll get a real sense of how special mountain viticulture can be.

The final tasting involves another two wines, paired with Canarian cheeses and croquettes. The combination of flavorful foods and wines is designed to give you a real taste of local traditions. A reviewer noted, “A small group, a nice guide, tasty wine, and generous tapas,” which captures the warm, convivial atmosphere.

The Landscape and Views

One of the best parts of this tour is the scenery. You’ll be enjoying views of the Güímar Valley, with the volcanic landscape spreading out below. The vineyard’s location, perched high in the mountains, offers a spectacular backdrop for tasting wines and taking photos. Several reviews mention the views as a highlight, making it clear that this experience isn’t just about the wine but the sense of place.

The Guided Experience

Guides are praised for their friendliness and knowledge. They take the time to explain the vineyard’s history, the organic cultivation methods, and the specific characteristics of the wines produced here. We read reviews describing guides as “very friendly,” “showing us the vineyard,” and “telling us about the history and processes,” which adds a personal touch to the experience.

Since the tour is limited to a small group of 8, it feels more personal, allowing questions and interaction. This setup makes for a relaxed environment where participants can truly enjoy the surroundings and learn without feeling rushed.
