Vino y Olivas Tours

Vino y Olivas runs intimate wine tours through Mallorca's Binissalem region, visiting two family-owned wineries where you'll taste indigenous grapes like the peppery Manto Negro and crisp Prensal Blanc. You'll get proper cellar tours with the winemakers themselves, not just a tasting room experience, and learn why these local varieties thrive in Mallorca's limestone soils. The tour caps at eight people, so you actually get to ask questions and try wines that never leave the island.

The day starts with pickup from Palma in a comfortable minivan, then winds through terraced vineyards backed by the Tramuntana mountains. At each winery, you'll walk through working cellars where oak barrels line stone walls, then sit for proper tastings paired with local cheese and charcuterie. The guides know their stuff about Mallorcan wine history and aren't pushing sales, just genuine enthusiasm for these small producers.

Most wine tours here are tourist traps serving mediocre Tempranillo, but this one focuses on authentic Mallorcan varietals you can't find elsewhere. The 85 EUR price includes transport, all tastings, and food pairings, which is fair for the quality. Book the Thursday tour if possible since you'll hit Binissalem's market and can buy bottles directly from producers at better prices than in Palma shops.
