Discover local wineries, the island’s winemaking heritage, and how to support sustainable wine tourism.
The Magic of Menorca Through Its Wines
Menorca, the jewel of the Mediterranean, is far more than coves and sunsets. Its Camí del Vi (Wine Trail) invites you to explore family-run wineries crafting unique bottles under the Vi de la Terra – Illa de Menorca designation.
A Brief Glimpse into Winemaking History
Winemaking on Menorca dates back to Roman times. Today’s producers blend modern technology with sustainable practices to create wines that capture the island’s character: vines rooted in limestone soils and nurtured by a Mediterranean climate.
Varieties That Delight
- White Wines: Chardonnay and Malvasía, fresh and fruity. Perfect with seafood or the traditional caldereta de langosta.
- Red Wines: Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, robust and structured. Excellent with sobrasada or local meat dishes.
- Rosé Wines: Light and refreshing, ideal for Menorca’s summer days.
