Wine and food Tours in Mallorca

If something makes Mallorca a unique place, it is its gastronomic culture. Nowadays food and travel go hand in hand as more and more people are looking to discover new culinary cultures as they travel around the world. Gastronomic tourism is rising in Spain, and Mallorca, with so much offer, is no exception. 

Mallorca’s gastronomic culture is another one of the many aspects that make the island so attractive. You can’t say you have experienced Mallorca until you have tasted some of the many dishes that it is known for and treated yourself to its local beers and wines. That's why we are creating new and exciting foodie tours in the area, as well as wine tasting activies in small groups, with the emphasis on local grape varieties and small, family-run wineries.

Even though Alcudia is a small town, its gastronomic culture is extremely rich. It has a strong fishing tradition, but it is also a great place to savour some delicious tapas and is home to lots of bakeries too.
In the old town of Alcudia, wine from all over the island can be enjoyed in a great amount of charming patios. There’s also a passion for beer in Alcudia and you shouldn’t miss out on the opportunity of visiting the local brewery.

Wine and Cheese Tasting in Alcudia

We have created a gastronomic experience which combines tasting wine with tasting cheese. This is an informal activity that takes place in Alcudia in a pretty and intimate setting. The focus is on local gastronomy and all the products featured are produced locally. Some of the wines used in the activity are made using single grape varieties so that participants can experience and learn about the local grapes from Mallorca and their use in wines. Some of the grape varities are not used outside of Mallorca, so this is a unique opportunity to taste these wines. The cheeses have all been selected because of their uniqueness or individuality too, one being produced at a farm in the Sierra de Tramuntana, another produced at the other side of the island, and some made with goats milk, cows milk or sheeps milk.
