Vineyards in Mallorca
Mallorca is quietly building a reputation for fine wines. Since the 1990s, local winemakers have turned the industry around and are now producing award-winning stunning wines. Native grapes include Callet, Manto Negro and Moll, and these are generally blended with imported grape varieties to produce full bodied reds, fresh rosés and thirst quenching whites. Plenty of vineyards are open for tours and tastings. Even if you don't have time to visit, we'd recommend you try a bottle at one of the local restaurants as not many Mallorcan wines make it off the island.
