Tenerife wines

There is no charge for entry to Casa del Vino de Tenerife, but we would recommend that you check out our Tenerife Wine Tasting Sessions on our website, in case you want to book one of those. For visits by organised groups, please see the next question.

To visit Casa del Vino de Tenerife as an organised group, please check availability and terms and conditions at casadelvino@teneriferural.org

The Casa del Vino complex is large, and there is a great deal to see and learn. You could spend an hour having a cursory look around the facilities or stopping at the points that are of particular interest to you, or you could spend half a day on a more detailed tour of our rooms and museums, our gardens of native plants, the architecture of the Casa, and our vineyards. You could also taste the best Tenerife wines in our tasting room, and/or enjoy the cuisine in our restaurant, Xarko.

No, our staff, and the workers in Restaurant Xarko, speak English, French and German.

Yes, Casa del Vino welcomes pets, as long as they are kept on a lead. The restaurant allows pets on the terrace.

Wines from Tenerife are exceptionally good due to the unique combination of geographical and climatic factors that affect their production. Tenerife vineyards benefit from their privileged location on the island’s volcanic slopes and from the influence of the subtropical climate. This unique combination of volcanic soils, variable altitudes, and exposure to the sun and to the trade winds creates perfect conditions for growing a wide variety of grapes, producing wines with a distinctive character and unrivalled flavour. The diversity of grape species on the island, including native varieties such as Listán Negro, Negramoll and Malvasía, contributes to the uniqueness and richness of Tenerife wines.

On our website you will find all the information about Guided tours, Tasting sessions and the various Workshops and Tastings that we organise at Casa del Vino throughout the year. We also offer the option of Audioguided Visits.

A Tenerife wine is identified by its Denominación de Origen [Appellation of Origin], which can be found on the back of every bottle, with the label which specifies the wine harvest and the Appellation of Origin. In the case of the island of Tenerife, this will be one of the following: D.O.P. Tacoronte-Acentejo, D.O.P. Valle de La Orotava, D.O.P. Ycoden-Daute-Isora, D.O.P. Abona, D.O.P. Valle de Güímar, or D.O.P. Islas Canarias-Tenerife.

In our Vinoteca [wine shop], we offer over 300 recognised Tenerife wines, made with grapes grown at altitudes ranging from sea level up to 1,600 metres. An area of around 3,000 hectares is managed by grape growers and wine producers specialising in small quantities. In many cases, we are talking about bodegas that bottle no more than 300, 600 or 1,000 bottles of grape varieties such as albillo criollo, marmajuelo, gual, listán blanco, negramoll, tintilla, baboso negro listán negro, and others. We are also talking about the production of sparkling wines, orange wines, fortified wines, sweet wines, and aged wines.
