Canary Islands (Santa Cruz de Tenerife), Spain

Tenerife Wine Tasting & Tapas

Sample Local Vintages Among Scenic Vineyards Explore the rich wine-making region of Tenerife while visiting a museum and two wineries on this viticultural tour. Winemaking on the island dates back to the Spanish conquest of the late 15th century. It quickly became an important component of the economy in the regions of El Sauzal and Tacoronte and achieved worldwide fame, with Tenerife’s malvasía wine even garnering mention in Shakespeare’s Richard III . Visit the Casa del Vino La Baranda, a rustic hacienda and museum, where you can learn about the area’s history while sampling three different kinds of wine—a red, a white and a rosé. Head to a local winery for an extensive tour of its vineyards before continuing on to another one to enjoy a wine tasting and a selection of Spanish tapas. Afterward, visit the historic quarter of San Cristóbal de La Laguna en route to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
