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 Pájara is a guided tasting session held in the rural municipality of Pájara, Fuerteventura. The activity introduces visitors to wines produced from volcanic soils and local grape varieties, including Malvasía and Listán Blanco. Each tasting is led by a local oenologist who explains the island's winemaking history and the characteristics of each pour.

What to expect

Session lasts 90 minutes and includes five different wines, each paired with a small tapas plate of local cheese and gofio bread.
You will taste wines from three Fuerteventura wineries, including a dry white, a rosé, and a red aged in Canary Island pine barrels.
The venue is a restored stone farmhouse with a working vineyard, where you can walk among the vines before the tasting begins.
The guide demonstrates the proper swirling and sniffing technique, and you receive a printed tasting card with notes on aroma and acidity for each wine.
Suitable for adults aged 18 and over; the session is held indoors with seating for up to 12 people, so booking in advance is required.
