Qué esperar

Exclusively crafted for National Geographic, this tour offers a deep dive into Canarian wine and its historical significance as a cornerstone of European society from the 15th to the 18th century. Begin by exploring Garachico, one of Tenerife's most impeccably preserved historic towns. As you wander its cobbled streets, your National Geographic-trained guide will unveil the tale of its port—a vital hub for exporting wine to Europe and America, tragically altered by a volcanic eruption. Next, venture to Viñátigo Winery, a family-run estate celebrated for rescuing Tenerife's native grape varieties from near extinction. Meet the bodega wine specialist amid sprawling vineyards, where you'll learn about diverse grape species and their eco-friendly and organic agricultural methods. Experience their meticulous wine-making process before sampling a selection of their finest wines. Wrap up your day with a delightful spread of authentic Canarian tapas surrounded by the stunning vineyard scenery, immersing yourself in the eye-catching vistas of the landscape and the Atlantic Ocean serving as your backdrop.

Very expensive, expected more. The guide was OK but a lot of the same information was repeated. He said the walk around town would be half an hour, it was much longer. While the winery tour was interesting it was longer then it needed to be. The wines were rather disappointing, the tapas was OK but needed some bread as well as meat and cheese.

Een ware aanrader. Zowel het bezoek en de degustatie in het wijnhuis als de wandeling door het stadje zijn aan te bevelen.

The whale watching boat trip was better than expected as we saw pilot whales up close. The hotel was a bit of a disappointment. Every day the fish was overcooked and the greens were school meal quality. Hotel staff were very good.

The wine tour and tasting was excellent and it was very informative and fun. What seriously let it down was the lunch. We expected a proper tapas lunch, but got a few snacks on a plate to share with the whole group of 9 people. I don't feel it appropriate that a group of strangers are putting their fingers and forks into shared food. Also the snacks were late after the wine tasting. People were very hungry and this did not satisfy them. So overall poor value. Please sort out lunch then 5*.

Es war sehr interessant etwas über die Historie von Garachico zu erfahren und auch über die wechselvolle Geschichte des kanarischen Weinanbaus. Die Herstellung des Weines wurde sehr anschaulich beschrieben und man konnte alles genau sehen. Die Verkostung war super. Nur schade, dass im Flugzeug das Gepäck beschränkt ist??
