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 Naoussa is a guided tasting session held at a local winery or cellar in the harbour town of Naoussa, Paros. Participants sample a selection of Parian wines, including the island's signature dry white from the Aidani and Monemvasia grapes. The activity pairs each pour with regional meze such as local cheese and olives.

What to expect

The tasting lasts 60 to 90 minutes and includes five different wines, from crisp whites to a red or rosé.
A local sommelier or winemaker explains the grape varieties, the volcanic soil of Paros, and the traditional barrel ageing process.
Each wine is served with a small plate of Cycladic meze, including xinomyzithra cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and caper leaves.
The session takes place in a stone-built cellar or shaded courtyard within walking distance of Naoussa's old port.
Suitable for adults aged 18 and over, including solo travellers and small groups of up to eight people.
You receive a tasting card listing the wines and their vintage, which you can keep as a souvenir.
