“Wonderful experience! You get to know the whole process of vine production from the vineyard to the bottle while learning about the history of vine production on the Canary Islands, with a special treat at the end: The best goat cheeses I’ve ever tasted, masterfully matched to the volcanic vines of their own vineyard, simply amazing!”

2.Tenerife Gastronomy Tour with Two Winery Visits and 4-Course Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 131 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $98

From southern Tenerife, ride north to historic La Laguna, taste three wines with cheese at Casa del Vino, then enjoy a generous Canarian meal and winery visit at Bodegas Monje. Guides have included Christopher, Iskra, Olga, and Mia. Expect beautiful views, a social group, and a long day on the road.

“The tour was titled 4 course lunch. The guide said we’d get three courses and that was what we got. The description also said we would get cheese and wine tastings at two wineries followed by lunch with wine. We tasted 3 wines at the Casa del Vino but at the second winery we only got the meal with a couple of glasses of wine followed by a tour of the cellar focussed primarily on all the wines they had available for sale. In summary, this is one of the worst tours I’ve been on when compared with the description provided.”

3.Tenerife Bodegas Monje Winery Tour with Wine and Cheese Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 121 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $42

Spend about 90 minutes at family-run Bodegas Monje in El Sauzal. An English-speaking guide leads you through the cellar and production areas, then pairs four local wines with four Canarian cheeses. Expect a small group, Atlantic views, and a tasting that may come before the tour.

“A short but really fun experience for couples. Our English guide was informative and funny. The 4 wines we tasted were delicious but that’s subjective. I enjoyed them even though most were dry, however my wife preferred the sweet ones. The cheeses that complemented the wines were delicious as well. A cheap but beautiful activity with great views along the country. Just far enough from the highway.”

4.Bodegas Monje Winery Ticket w/Wine Tasting & Mojo Sauce Workshop

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 60 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $55Top rated

At Bodegas Monje in El Sauzal, you tour the winery, taste Dragoblanco, Hollera, and MonjeTradicional, then make coriander, parsley, and red mojo with a chef. Guides may include Caleb, Moises, or Gaspard. The small-group session ends with local food and your sauces.

“The Chef who showed us to make the Mojo was just great. He loves food and good ingredients and wants to share his knowledge. He was kind enough to seriously try and judge our first attempts to make our own Mojo. We will definitely keep doing those at home! We also appreciate that the more expensive wines were also open for trial-per-glass, not only the more common ones.”
