About this experience

Prized across the Mediterranean in antiquity, Mallorcan wine had fallen into near obscurity by the 20th century...but today, a remarkable revival is underway. Join us for a tour through the recultivation and rediscovery of the island’s distinctive indigenous grape varieties, where a unique climate that blends sundrenched vineyards, cool sea breezes and a singular limestone composition to produce elegant, fresh and vibrant wines made for summer drinking.
