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 Captain Cook is a guided tasting session at a working winery on the Big Island of Hawaii, located in the upland coffee and grape-growing region of Captain Cook. The activity focuses on wines made from locally grown grapes and tropical fruits, with a short tour of the fermentation and bottling areas. Tastings are conducted at a wooden bar overlooking the vineyard and the Kona coastline.

What to expect

The tasting includes five pours of estate-grown wines, such as a pineapple wine and a dry red made from the island's Syrah grapes.
A 15-minute guided walk through the vineyard rows explains how volcanic soil and elevation affect the grapes' sugar and acidity.
Each pour is paired with a small sample of local macadamia nuts or dark chocolate to contrast with the wine's flavours.
The session lasts approximately 45 minutes, with seating for up to 12 guests at the covered outdoor bar.
The winery is open for tastings from 10:00 to 16:00, with the last seating at 15:30, and no reservation is required for groups under six.
The activity suits adults over 21 who enjoy agricultural tours, and the paved path from the parking lot to the bar is wheelchair accessible.
