Visit two wineries in the Binissalem and Felanitx DO regions, touring vineyards and tasting local varieties including Moll (Prensal Blanc) and Callet
The Mallorcan Wine Country Tour offers a five-hour journey through two of Mallorca's most important wine-producing zones, visiting active wineries in the Binissalem and Felanitx Denominació d'Origen (DO) areas of the Balearic Islands, Spain. Transport from Palma is included, making the experience accessible without a hire car. Binissalem, located in the central plains of Mallorca, is home to some of the island's oldest established wineries and produces wines primarily from Moll (also known as Prensal Blanc) and Manto Negro — indigenous varieties cultivated on the island for centuries. The first winery visit includes a guided tour of the vineyards and cellars, with explanation of the particular characteristics of Mallorcan terroir: the rocky red soil, the influence of the tramuntana winds from the north, and the island's hot summers moderated by cooler nights at elevation. The tour then moves east to the Felanitx DO zone, where Callet — a deeply pigmented red grape variety unique to the Balearics — produces structured, aromatic wines with growing international recognition. The second cellar visit rounds out the picture of Mallorcan viticulture, with the guide drawing comparisons between the two DO styles and the distinct winemaking approaches of each estate. Across both wineries, participants sample six wines in total, covering whites, rosés, and reds representative of each producer. A Mallorcan cheese pairing accompanies the tastings, with traditional aged cheeses and semi-cured varieties from island producers complementing the wine profiles. The guide provides context on how local food traditions and viticulture developed in parallel on Mallorca. The €75 price covers transport, cellar entry at both estates, the six tastings, and the cheese accompaniment. Full meals are not included. Groups are typically between 8 and 14 participants and tours operate in English and Spanish. Time is allocated at each estate for questions and for browsing the on-site shops.

Tips for visiting
- Eat a substantial meal before the tour — six wine tastings with only cheese accompaniment can affect those with an empty stomach.
- Bring cash or a card for purchasing bottles at the wineries; tour participants sometimes receive a small discount on estate purchases.
- Wear flat, closed-toe shoes; vineyard paths at both estates can involve uneven ground.
- Inform the guide of any strong preferences or aversions among wine styles in advance so the experience can be contextualised.
- Morning departures are cooler and allow a more relaxed pace at each estate before the afternoon heat peaks during summer months.
