What types of wine are produced in the Canary Islands?

The Canary Islands produce unique wines thanks to volcanic soil and traditional grape varieties. Lanzarote's La Geria region is famous for Malvasía wines grown in volcanic ash. Tenerife produces Listán Blanco and Negro wines. Red and white varieties from Tacoronte-Acentejo are also well-regarded.

What does a wine tasting experience include?

Wine tasting experiences typically include a guided tour of the vineyard and bodega, an explanation of the winemaking process, and a tasting of 3–6 wines paired with local cheeses and tapas. Many tastings are held in atmospheric volcanic bodegas.

About this experience

Wine Tasting in Souvala is a guided tasting session at a local Aegina winery, located in the coastal town of Souvala. Participants sample a selection of regional wines, including those made from the native Savatiano grape, paired with local pistachios and olive products. The activity offers a direct introduction to the island's winemaking traditions within a working vineyard setting.

What to expect

A 90-minute seated tasting of five wines, including a dry white, a rosé, and a red, each poured by the winemaker or a trained sommelier.
Includes a paired plate of Aegina pistachios, bread with local olive oil, and a small cheese selection to accompany the pours.
Visitors walk through the vineyard rows to see the trellising system and the 40-year-old Savatiano vines before the tasting begins.
The session concludes with a guided comparison of two vintages of the same wine to illustrate how ageing alters flavour and aroma.
Suitable for adults aged 18 and over, with a non-alcoholic grape juice option available for designated drivers or non-drinkers.
