Bodegas Monje is an excellent example of how traditional winemaking methods can go hand in hand with a modern approach to oenotourism.

Each of these wineries offers a unique experience to explore different aspects of winemaking in Tenerife. From small, family-run ventures to larger, more recognizable brands, they all contribute to the rich mosaic of Tenerife wines. It's worth noting the variety of activities offered: from simple tastings to elaborate educational and culinary programs.

Continuing our oenotourism journey in Tenerife, we visit Bodegas Viñátigo, a winery with an exceptional reputation located in the La Guancha region. With an impressive rating of 4.7, Bodegas Viñátigo is renowned for its innovative approach to winemaking and focus on local grape varieties. Visitors are delighted not only with the quality of the wines, but also with the professionalism and passion of the staff. As one visitor describes: 'An unforgettable wine tasting thanks to the wonderful Mariana (hospitality manager), who led us on a wine journey through the ancient history of the Canary Islands from the 16th century to the present day.' The winery offers a unique experience combining education and tasting, allowing guests to explore the history of winemaking in the Canary Islands.

With an impressive 5.0 rating, this family-owned winery offers an unforgettable experience for wine lovers. Visitors are delighted not only with the quality of the wines, but especially with the hospitality and passion of the owners. As one visitor describes: 'An amazing experience from start to finish. Claudio and his family were extremely hospitable, and the wines are truly natural (no sulfur or additives at any stage of the process, just grapes and nothing else!), But they are very well made!' Bodega El Lomo is famous for producing natural wines, which is increasingly appreciated by connoisseurs around the world.

A visit to Bodega El Lomo is not only a wine tasting, but also an opportunity to learn about the entire production process, from grape growing to bottling. The owners speak passionately about their winemaking philosophy, which focuses on minimal interference with natural processes. This is an excellent opportunity to understand how the terroir of Tenerife influences the character of the wines produced here.

Comparing the two wineries, we can see the different approaches to winemaking and oenotourism. Bodegas Viñátigo focuses on local grape varieties and combines tradition with modern production techniques. Bodega El Lomo, on the other hand, focuses on producing natural wines with minimal intervention in the fermentation process. Both wineries offer a quality educational experience, but Bodega El Lomo stands out for its more intimate, family atmosphere. Prices for tastings and wines are comparable at both places, but Bodega El Lomo may be slightly more expensive due to the exclusivity of its natural wines. In terms of accessibility, Bodegas Viñátigo, being a larger winery, may offer more flexible tour hours, while advance reservations are recommended for Bodega El Lomo.

Our oenotourism journey in Tenerife is coming to an end, but the impressions and flavors we experienced will stay with us for a long time. Visiting five exceptional wineries - Bodega Lagar de Chasna, Casa del Vino, Bodegas Monje, Bodegas Viñátigo and Bodega El Lomo - we had the opportunity to experience the diversity and richness of winemaking on this volcanic island.

Each of the wineries we visited offers a unique experience, but all share a passion for wine and a deep respect for local winemaking traditions. From the traditional production methods at Bodega Lagar de Chasna, to the educational aspects of Casa del Vino, the innovative approach of Bodegas Monje, the focus on local varieties at Bodegas Viñátigo, and the natural wines of Bodega El Lomo, each place brings something unique to the Tenerife winemaking picture.

It's worth noting the differences between each winery. Bodega Lagar de Chasna and Bodega El Lomo offer a more intimate, family-oriented experience, ideal for those who value personal touch and authenticity. On the other hand, Casa del Vino and Bodegas Monje, as larger venues, boast more extensive facilities and a wider range of additional activities, such as restaurants and culinary workshops. Bodegas Viñátigo stands out for its focus on local grape varieties and its modern approach to traditional production methods.

In terms of pricing and accessibility, larger wineries like Casa del Vino or Bodegas Monje tend to offer more flexible opening hours and can accommodate larger groups without advance reservations. Smaller, family-owned wineries like Bodega El Lomo or Bodega Lagar de Chasna often require an appointment in advance, but in return offer a more personalized experience. Prices for tastings and wines vary, but generally range from moderate to higher, reflecting the quality and exclusivity of the products.

In summary, oenotourism in Tenerife is not only an opportunity to taste exceptional wines, but also a chance to experience the island's rich culture and history. The volcanic soil, unique grape varieties and centuries-old winemaking traditions create wines of unique character. Each of the wineries visited makes its own unique contribution to this mosaic of flavors and experiences.

For wine lovers, Tenerife offers a fascinating journey through a variety of terroirs, production styles and grape varieties. From fresh and mineral white wines to fruity and aromatic rosés to reds full of character, there is something for everyone. In addition, the opportunity to get to know the passionate people behind the wines, their history and production philosophy adds depth to the whole experience.

Enotourism in Tenerife is not just an adult attraction. Many wineries, such as Casa del Vino and Bodegas Monje, offer educational programs and activities for entire families, combining learning about wine with learning about local culture and traditions. This is a great opportunity to introduce the younger generation to the world of responsible consumption and appreciation of local products.

It is worth remembering that the best time for oenotourism in Tenerife is from late spring to early autumn, when the vineyards are in full swing and the weather is favorable for sightseeing. However, thanks to the island's mild climate, wineries are open to visitors year-round, offering a variety of experiences depending on the season.

Discovering the wine face of Tenerife is a journey full of surprises, flavors and breathtaking views. It is an experience that will linger in the memory for a long time, encouraging you to return to this unique island and further explore the secrets of its wine tradition.
