This private excursion takes us deep into the scenic north of Tenerife where we will visit the Malmsey wine museum, if it is open, to sample an excellent choice of wines in the town of Icod de los Vinos. Shakespeare often mentioned Canary wines in his plays, and early European merchants came to purchase Tenerife's wines in the 16th and 17th centuries. As an alternative, depending if you are staying in a hotel on the north or south side of the island, is to visit a vineyard instead. We also visit a banana plantation on the tongue of a volcanic lava flow which nestles by the sea under steep cliffs. We will have a chance to learn about banana growing and enjoy scenery which is simply beautiful. The original mansion on the estate is a delight. It is one of the hidden aristocratic treasures of old Tenerife and, if it is open, we can enjoy strolling through its vast, palmed patio and garden. If we have time you might like a tapas lunch nearby.
9am - Meet at the cruise ship port or at your hotel. Drive towards the scenic northwest of the island. 10am - Visit a banana plantation and wine merchant's mansion, if open for visits. (Sometimes closed in July and August). 12am - Arrive at Icod de los Vinos to visit the famous dragon tree and to sample wines at the Malmsey Wine museum. If it is closed, we shall head to a vineyard in the northern valleys. You might also like to enjoy some delicious Canary cuisine before returning you to the port or hotel. 3pm - Return to your hotel or to the cruise ship port.

Our mode of transport is a modern, comfortable 5-seater, air conditioned vehicle. Please bear in mind that if you require a vehicle with more space, or if there are more passengers, I usually hire a larger vehicle. NOTE: It is best to ask me before booking a tour if there is availability for a larger vehicle. This may also mean an increased fee because the island is having record numbers of visitors, and rental cars are difficult to come by at a reasonable price just now .
