Wine and travel

Vinitourism is undergoing a veritable boom and Andalusia offers myriad options for enjoying this unique experience.

Are you passionate about travel, and appreciate fine wine? A wine tour could be the perfect getaway. Vinitourism, or wine tourism, is one of the biggest new trends in travel, with rave reviews from participants. Ever more people are looking to spend some time learning about wine culture. In Andalusia, it’s a perfect way to connect with the region’s culinary culture, as the region’s wines and sherries have brought many benefits to this land, as well as the odd plague – such as phylloxera – which are key to understanding the economic history of the region.

We invite you on a tour that will start in a vineyard and its cellar, where an expert winemaker will explain how each of the different wines are produced. Then you’ll be taken to the wine barrels, where we’ll finish off the experience with a wine-tasting session, accompanied by aperitifs or lunch, depending on the option reserved

Wine-growing was the most important sector in the province of Málaga in the nineteenth century. The province offers the perfect combination of small wineries rooted in the rich ancestry of traditional wines (those certified with ‘Designation of Origin in Málaga’ status) and new, creative wines (with ‘Designation of Origin in Sierras de Málaga status), which have already gained various international awards, in spite of their youth.

The range of sensations and emotions created by the wines of Málaga province and Sierras de Málaga [its mountainous areas] surpasses that of other regions, thanks to the great variety of wines available, meaning that you can find a wine to pair with any dish, at any time of day.

There are many ways to try the vinitourism experience: an introductory wine-tasting course; holding an event; a guided tour with lunch, aperitifs or a buffet; a visit to a winery and its local surroundings, as well as the opportunity to take part in wine tourism by moonlight.
