"A perfume for our blood", these were the words used by William Shakespeare to describe Canarian wines in his book Henry the IV. Shakespeare himself was a Canary Sack lover and was often paid with this aromatic drink. Afterwards, these wines disappeared due to the conflicts between Spain and England, but now they are back. Discover wines that remain unknown to the mainstream but that are receiving both national and international awards. Uncover their secrets, touch the volcanic soil, take a walk through the vineyards, talk to the local winemaker and taste unique local grape varieties such as Malvasia Volcánica or Listán Negro which are cultivated on steep slopes on the volcanic soil. We will privately visit an artisanal vineyard with its cellar and the winemaker himself will receive us (exclusively), to make you discover the secrets of a still traditional way of producing excellent wines. TOUR UNDER REQUEST! PLEASE WRITE ME BEFORE BOOKING TO CHECK WINERY AVAILABILITY. Thanks.
