Wine tourism in Canarias.

Canarias makes some of Spain's most singular wines on volcanic soils and at impossible altitudes. Its two provinces, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas, bring together 155 wineries and up to eleven appellations of origin that draw on an Atlantic climate and a vineyard that never suffered phylloxera, preserving unique pre-phylloxera varieties.

Listán negro, volcanic malvasía, negramoll and baboso yield fresh, mineral wines with a marked island character. From the D.O. Tacoronte-Acentejo —the first in the islands— to the high-altitude vineyards of Abona, by way of the lunar landscape of La Geria in Lanzarote, each island offers an unrepeatable wine tourism experience.

Visiting wineries in Canarias means gazing over World Heritage landscapes, tasting wines that grow among lava flows and pairing wine with island cuisine: papas arrugadas with mojo, cheeses and fresh fish facing the Atlantic.
