The vine is the main crop of Tenerife

Tenerife wines: unique flavor of a volcanic land

Tenerife is famous for its landscapes and culture, but also for something less known: its wines. The grapevine arrived on the island in the 15th century with the first Europeans. Since then, it has become one of the most important crops in the region.

What makes the wines of Tenerife unique?

These wines have a special flavor. This is due to the type of volcanic soil and the Atlantic climate of the island. In addition, they combine modern techniques with traditional methods. For example, grape harvesting is still done manually, ensuring higher quality.

The wines of Tenerife are crafted with great care. Every step of the process respects both the environment and local history. That is why they have an unmistakable aroma and flavor.

D.O. Tacoronte-Acentejo: quality origin

The Denomination of Origin Tacoronte-Acentejo was the first to officially recognize the quality of the wines of the island. This certification helps promote local products and position them in the national and international markets.

To support this sector, the Cabildo of Tenerife promotes advertising campaigns. The goal is to encourage the consumption of these wines within the island, highlighting their cultural and gastronomic value.

As the saying goes, "a wine drunk in company is always better." And if that wine is from Tenerife, even better. It is ideal to accompany typical Canarian dishes or simply enjoy it in good company.
