Enjoyable tour - interesting, casual, warm, welcoming and delicious. - Lovely winery. Our tour guide, Maria, was warm and welcoming. She was very knowledgeable and was able to address the many questions that were thrown at her. The history of the vineyard and winemaking was interesting. We enjoyed the tour a lot. I would attend it again because I found it so interesting, and really lovely. There is something magical about the place. I highly recommend it.The cheese was delicious and both the white and red wines were good. The red wine was even better when we drank it that night. I highly recommend the visit for anyone who enjoys wine or the beauty found in wine making and/or a family's history.

A lovely place and an informative visit. - It was a last minute decision to visit this winery on a free day on our holiday and we are so glad we did. The winery is set in lovely gardens and has a lot of history. Our guide, Maria, was very professional and knowledgeable about the winery and its history. We had a very informative tour and delicious wine with cheese afterwards. We did not have a car on Gran Canaria, but got a taxi at a reasonable price from Las Palmas. Highly recommended.

Wonderful small vineyard tour - Wonderful, relaxing, informative tour, detailing the family history to current day cultivation of this historic vineyard and wine museum in the lush foothills with tasting nibbles of local cheese. You can also buy the wine which is only produced in small organic batches and not exported or sold to supermarkets. Maria, our guide told us some little gems of information and was very welcoming. Suggest visiting the nearby volcanic crater too as it’s 10 minutes drive.

Taste of real wine - Great to learn about the history of Gran Canarian wine and taste an authentic organic wine. The tour was interesting, and the location is easy to get to. I'd recommend this to anyone, great value and a worthwhile trip to the north of the island. Book direct on the website for the best price.

Anbefales! - When we were going to this location the trip started a bit poorly because the taxi driver did not find the place and we were late. Then it took some time for us to find the guide. But this experience completely changed when we met our guide, Maria. my boyfriend and I got a private tour of the vineyard and the old buildings. Maria explained all about how the wine production has changed over the generations and how they produced the wine. She had good knowledge and was very inclusive. She did not just have monologues, she mad sure that we understood everything and made it easy for us to ask questions and feel comfortable. Then we got to taste two wines, one red and one white. The red was harvested from the vineyard we were on, and the white was from another family another place on the island but was produced here. The wines wa great! We bought two bottles of the white wine, best I have tasted in a long time. Very fruity but not too sweet. And I can't say this enough. Maria is the best guide EVER. After we were done with the tour, she took us to the Volcano and told us a lot of history about Gran Canaria. She also recommended restaurants, attractions to see and places to visit on the island. Her english was very good! And last but not least she drove us home to our AirBnB. She is absolutely amazing. I would recommend everyone to have a tour with her. She made this one of the best guided tours I have ever had. Thank you!
