Tenerife is not only a land of volcanoes, clear skies, and landscapes that are etched in the memory. It's also a land where wine has history , personality, and an identity deeply tied to the land. Wine tasting in Tenerife is much more than a wine tourism activity: it's opening a door to the origins, the taste of authenticity, and the peaceful pulse of the countryside.
The uniqueness of Canarian wines
Canarian wines are the result of centuries of tradition , isolation , and adaptation . The vine arrived on the islands with the first European settlers, and thanks to the natural protection of the environment, many native varieties have survived to this day without being affected by pests like phylloxera.
In Tenerife, the combination of volcanic soils, diverse microclimates, and high altitudes gives rise to wines with a unique expression. The minerality of the terrain, the influence of the trade winds, and the thermal contrast between day and night impart character and freshness to both whites and reds.
The value of a tasting: experiencing wine from within
Wine tastings in Tenerife allow visitors to understand what lies behind each label: the land, the effort, the tradition, the patience. These experiences take place in natural settings, in direct contact with the vineyards, and are guided by professionals who convey the value of each stage of the process.
During a wine tasting, the senses are awakened. You observe the nuances of color, appreciate the primary and secondary aromas, and discover how each wine reflects the place it comes from. But above all, it creates a space for leisurely conversation, shared learning, and a connection with the local environment.
Bodega Ferrera: height, authenticity and balance
In the municipality of Arafo, at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters above sea level, lies Bodega Ferrera, a family project where respect for the environment and a commitment to quality have guided every step.
The vineyards are grown using organic farming practices, without herbicides or chemicals, allowing the vine to express itself in a sincere and environmentally friendly way.
During the winery's wine tastings, you can sample a carefully selected selection of wines:
-
Blanco Ferrera , a young, dry wine with an aromatic profile and light texture.
-
Traditional Red Wine , made with Listán Negro, fresh, fruity and with a pleasant mid-palate.
These tastings take place in a natural setting that invites calm, serene enjoyment, and an understanding of wine as part of the landscape.
Tenerife as a wine destination
The island has five designations of origin—Abona, Valle de La Orotava, Tacoronte-Acentejo, Ycoden-Daute-Isora, and Valle de Güímar—that reflect the richness and diversity of its geography. Each region contributes different nuances, from the more mineral whites of the south to the more Atlantic-inspired reds of the north.
In recent years, Tenerife has established itself as a benchmark for wine tourism in the Canary Islands, attracting visitors interested in discovering authentic projects committed to sustainability and with a contemporary approach that remains grounded.
An experience that transcends wine
Beyond the tasting, the memory that remains is that of the place, the treatment, the clean air, the view of the mountains or Mount Teide in the distance. The wine becomes a liquid testament to a land that lives between fire and sky, between tradition and future.
Visiting a winery in Tenerife is, ultimately, a way to experience the island from the inside. And that moment is captured in every bottle.
