Going out
Local gastronomy
Red and white wines of five denominations of origin
Tenerife wines are unique in the world, original flavour and the sacrifice needed to make them in steep hand-cultivated vineyards often in narrow, remote areas. These elements, coupled to a nutrient-rich volcanic soil, give characteristics that, from the sixteenth century onwards, were recognized in Europe.
A good tip is to have lunch or dinner at local restaurants on the island and ask for wines from Tenerife. As well as being the perfect accompaniment to traditional dishes, local wines will make your experience even more delightful.
