Bodegas Monje: A Wine Lover’s Must-Visit in Tenerife 🍷
Tenerife isn’t just about stunning beaches and volcanic landscapes—it’s also home to some incredible wineries! On our second winery stop, we visited the breathtaking Bodegas Monje, where we enjoyed an unforgettable lunch paired with their exceptional wines.
🔗 Here’s the exact winery tour we did!
About Bodegas Monje
Nestled 600 meters above sea level, Bodegas Monje is a fifth-generation family winery that combines tradition with innovation. The estate boasts panoramic ocean views, a terrace restaurant, and even a wood-fired pizza oven—a perfect excuse to return! 🍕
The winery specializes in native Canary Island grape varieties like Listán Negro, Listán Blanco, and Negramoll, producing small-batch, high-quality wines with a unique volcanic touch.
The Wine Tasting Experience
We savored three incredible wines during our visit:
- Drago Blanco – A crisp, refreshing white wine with bright acidity.
- Bibiana Rosado – A semi-sweet, fruit-forward rosé (my personal favorite!). 🌸
- Tradicional Tinto – A bold red, crafted from Listán Negro, showcasing the island’s rich terroir.
Each sip highlighted the distinct flavors that volcanic soil imparts, making these wines truly one of a kind.
Exploring the Cellar
After lunch, we took a tour of the winery’s cellar, where tradition runs deep. The winery’s oak barrels date back to the 1950s, and they have an impressive capacity of 160,000 liters—all managed by a dedicated team of just 10 people! 🍇
Plan Your Visit
If you’re planning a trip to Tenerife, Bodegas Monje is a must-visit for wine lovers. Between the stunning scenery, rich history, and unforgettable wines, this gem is well worth the stop. ❤️ We did a tour through Viator and I highly recommend that approach as the winery is not in the South where most hotels are.
