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.
