Bodegas Monje – Visit and Winetasting
Do this because
- Taste local wines and cheeses
- Inside tour of a winery
- Beautiful location with spectacular views
What to expect
There's a reason why Bodega Monje's wines are so special – every vine is cultivated and cared for completely by hand. Enjoy a tour and tasting session at this unique vineyard and try three of their finest wines each accompanied by a perfect cheese pairing.
Sitting 600m above sea level upon some of Tenerife's steepest and stoniest terrain, growing grapes here is a labour of love. Impossible to use machines, each vine is hand harvested – and you can taste the difference.
Guided by an expert sommelier, you'll soak up some spectacular sea views as you learn all there is to know about winemaking in this harsh, volcanic landscape. Then when the tour is over, you'll be rewarded with a sample of the bodega's finest white and red varieties and a tasting of local cheese – delicious.

Full Day Tenerife Tour with La Laguna and Lunch

You'll visit the UNESCO-listed old town of La Laguna, drop into a bodega for lunch and explore an aloe vera plantation. Arianne, one of our local expert guides, says, ‘Canarian bananas are smaller but thicker, and their peel has dark speckles. The pulp is yellower, and it should be eaten riper, which makes it sweeter.'First up is a visit to an aloe vera plantation. Here, you'll learn about the healing qualities – especially skincare – of this crop. Then it's on to La Laguna, arguably the prettiest town on the island. Throw in its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it makes for a real gem of a stop.
