The journey begins with a pickup in Palma, ensuring a comfortable start to your day. After a one-hour drive in a luxury vehicle, you arrive at the first highlight: a prestigious local winery. Here, you’ll spend about 105 minutes exploring the production facilities, walking through vineyards, and sampling five carefully selected wines. The guide’s detailed explanations about Mallorca’s winemaking traditions and the production process add depth, making the tasting both educational and delicious.
According to reviews, the wine tasting is a highlight, with many guests remarking on the high quality of the wines and the comprehensive explanations provided. One guest noted, “The guide’s knowledge made the tasting even more enjoyable,” which speaks to the value of having an expert accompany you.
Next, your palate is satisfied with a gourmet Mallorcan lunch at a well-chosen local restaurant. This two-hour stop features a menu crafted from fresh, seasonal ingredients highlighting regional flavors. The focus on traditional dishes means you can expect a hearty, authentic meal that complements the wine tasting experience. Alongside your meal, premium water is included, ensuring you stay refreshed.
After lunch, the tour continues with a scenic walk through a traditional village, giving you a taste of local life and perhaps some shopping opportunities. The one-hour free time here allows you to stroll, take photos, or buy souvenirs—an excellent chance to slow down and savor the moment.

The Wines and Food: What Sets It Apart
The exclusive visit to a renowned winery ensures that you’re sampling top-quality wines, not just tourist-grade plonk. The five wines you taste are selected to showcase the diversity of Mallorca’s vineyards, from whites to reds, each with unique characteristics. Guests often remark on the excellent wine selection—some describe it as “a perfect introduction to Mallorca’s wine scene,” which is high praise.
The gourmet lunch is another highlight. Made from fresh, local ingredients, the dishes offer a regional tasting experience that complements the wines. Guests frequently mention the delicious, traditional flavors, and appreciate that the menu is regional, seasonal, and authentically Mallorcan.
Transportation and Group Size
Traveling in a luxury vehicle means comfort and style—no cramped buses or noisy groups. The small-group atmosphere enhances the experience, allowing for more personalized attention and interaction with the guide. The private nature of the tour also means you can customize or ask questions freely, adding to the educational value.

This experience is best suited for adults over 18 who appreciate wine and good food, but it’s also for those interested in Mallorca’s local traditions. It’s not ideal for individuals with mobility issues or children, given the walking involved. Pregnant women, or those prone to seasickness, should consider this before booking.
