Mallorca: Sunset Wine Tasting Minibus Tour – ENGLISH GUIDE

Imagine winding through Mallorca’s Tramuntana mountains, surrounded by vines bathed in the golden glow of sunset, with a knowledgeable guide sharing stories about the island’s wine history. For about five hours and at a cost of $135 per person, this Sunset Wine Tasting Minibus Tour offers a delightful mix of scenic drives, regional wines, and tasty tapas. The tour starts with hotel pickups from various northern and eastern locations, making it accessible whether you’re based in Peguera, Alcúdia, or Cala d’Or.

What makes this experience stand out is the chance to visit a local bodega during the magical “blue hour,” an often-unavailable time for evening visits, and to enjoy a guided tour that offers insights into Mallorca’s wine production. We particularly loved the stunning vineyard views and the quality of the wines and food — both are thoughtfully curated to give you a real taste of Mallorca’s terroir.

A slight consideration: the tour is limited to small groups of just 8 people, which means a more intimate experience, but it also requires booking in advance. This is best suited for travelers who appreciate authentic, relaxed experiences with scenic beauty and good company. If you’re someone who loves discovering local flavors and picturesque landscapes, this tour offers a perfect blend.

The Experience in Detail: What You Can Expect

Starting the Journey: Pickups and Scenic Drives

Your adventure begins with hotel pickups from various convenient locations on Mallorca’s north and east coasts. Expect a comfortable, air-conditioned minibus for a 45-minute drive to Binissalem, the heart of Mallorca’s wine country. This scenic drive helps set the tone, with lush landscapes and rolling vineyards whizzing past your window.

The guide, often a local expert (a person like Gazz or Nora, who shared glowing reviews), will share tidbits about the region’s winemaking tradition and what to look forward to during the evening. The small group size means you’ll likely have a chance to ask questions and really connect with your guide, making the experience more engaging than a large bus tour.

Visiting the Bodega: Wine, Views, and Stories

Once in Binissalem, you’ll visit a real local bodega — a family-run winery that probably doesn’t see many visitors after hours. This exclusive access during sunset makes the visit special and authentic. Expect the guided tour to include insights into how Mallorca’s wines are made, from grape to glass.

The highlight here is of course the wine tasting. The wines sampled are typically local varieties, showcasing Mallorca’s unique terroir. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or a casual sipper, the wines are chosen to delight. Many reviews rave about the quality and flavor of the wines, with one guest describing the experience as “suitable for anyone who appreciates good wines.”

An Abundance of Flavors: Tapas and Food

Complementing the wines are some delicious Majorcan food specialties and tapas. This isn’t just a quick snack but a carefully curated selection that pairs well with the wines. Expect regional cheeses, local snacks, and perhaps some regional food tastings that bring the true flavors of Mallorca to your palate.

The atmosphere during this time is intimate and peaceful, perfect for relaxing and savoring both the scenery and the wines.

Wrapping Up: Scenic Drive Back and Drop-offs

After about 2.5 hours at the bodega, the tour continues with a scenic drive back, again through the mountain landscape, giving you a chance to reflect on the experience. Drop-offs are available at your starting points, ensuring a smooth and convenient end to your Mallorca evening.

One Consideration

Because the tour is limited to small groups and involves a fair amount of scenic driving, it’s not ideal for travelers with mobility issues or those seeking a more active or extensive winery visit. Also, the cost might be on the higher side for some, but many feel the experience’s intimacy and exclusivity justify the price.

Who Should Consider This Tour?

If you’re a wine enthusiast or a curious traveler eager to see Mallorca beyond the beaches, this is a fantastic choice. It’s well-suited for couples, small groups of friends, or solo travelers who enjoy authentic, scenic, and flavorful experiences. It’s especially appealing if you want a relaxed, intimate evening with an emphasis on regional wine and cuisine.
