Travellers can immerse in authentic wine encounters whilst unwinding on island retreats cocooned in balmy aquamarine waters. As the timeless proverb professes, “Over a bottle of wine, many a friend is found.” Indeed, in the realm of fine wines, connections are forged, conversations flow, and lasting memories are created.

In November 2023, travellers can look forward to an extraordinary series of wine experiences graced by Bodegas Viñátigo winery’s owner, Mr. Juan Mendez, and his son, Jorge Mendez who return for their second visit to the two resorts.

Bodegas Viñátigo has spent 5 generations reviving Tenerife’s native grape varieties from the brink of extinction. Translating the volcanic soils and 100-year-old native grapes varieties of the Canary Islands into their cuvees. The wines from the Canary Islands are so significant and historical that even the great bard Shakespeare couldn’t resist their charm!
