Beautiful place - Second time visiting this place and this time we brought friends. We got a taxi from the cruise terminal in Santa Cruz. About 20 mins and €40 each way. Very easy to arrange. Did the tour which is well presented and very informative. Then had a wine tasting of 5 wines. We got some nibbles and cheese to go with this and paid extra but you can also book tastings with food included. You can also taste more wines if you like! We also ate lunch in the restaurant there and it was amazing. Great food with fabulous views, although it was a bit foggy by the time we finished but that's North Tenerife for you! The on site shop is great. Good selection of wines and other produce and to suit all budgets. No hard sell whatsoever. They also have some nice souvenirs to buy. Only thing I would say is that when we booked from the UK we were quoted €360 for transport from and to the port in Santa Cruz. As I said the taxi was only €40 each way and was easily arranged so don't be afraid to make your own way. Definitely worth a trip if you like good wine or even just to see the lovely location and eat the food. And now this bodegas exports to the UK so happy days!

Interesting and delicious - Beautiful view, tour is given in 2 languages, which is an added value. Passionate explanation. Cheeses are adapted to the wine.

The view was spectacular - Our guide Claudia was lovely. Was nice being away from the ship and see a different side of Tenerife. I enjoyed the vineyard tour and the wine and cheese pairing. Many thanks. More vineyards visit to come

Wonderful tour but need some improvements with the tasting - The area and location is beautiful. Walking in, the staff wasn’t the most welcoming to be honest. The itself though was very good and the guide we had (a young woman) was great. Only thing I would recommend with the tour is don’t show the sex and wine event video. It can make some people feel uncomfortable which is the case for a few in our group. We then had the four wine and cheese tasting. That was not so good. The guide (a man) was not very friendly, didn’t pay attention to when we were done and was just not great. Also the room we did it in was not perfect. It was loud and not comfortable due to it being inside the shop and customers in there talking and shopping. The wine and cheese was great and the price was also good just would make those adjustments I mentioned.

Not to Our Taste - Not to our taste- wine (cheap tasting),service during tasting or self- promotion of the winery including the Wine and Sex video.

Dry - Beautiful location but it felt unorganised rushed but with long breaks in between wines, we were all separated so felt being a group would be better and allowing and also go us questions would be a better idea, nice wines and cheese but experience lacked any personality
