What to expect

With coastal roads, towering cliffs and valley-nestled villages, Tenerife's west is a joy to explore. On this tour in comfortable minivans, you'll go through a roll call of all the must-dos – local product tastings, exploring Teno Rural Park and visiting picture-postcard villages. Arianne, one of our expert guides, says, ‘You'll unearth the geology of Tenerife's past, discovering impressive landscapes along with the island's history and culture.'

It all begins in Icod de Los Vinos. A guided tour of the town takes in its centuries-old dragon tree – located in a park that's more like a botanic garden – traditional colonial-style architecture and a sampling of some local products. Then, it's on to the hard-to-reach ‘lost village' of Masca. Precariously perched on a ridge overlooking a rugged gorge, it's one of Tenerife's most jaw-dropping sights.

Next, you'll head down to Garachico on the coast, and discover why it's known as the ‘prettiest and unluckiest' town on the island. Stroll by its famous lava pools and see the historic castle before a lunch made from locally sourced ingredients in a family-run restaurant. It's an ideal setting for savouring Canarian cuisine. The afternoon sees you exploring the jagged peaks in craggy Teno Rural Park. It's famed for its laurel and pine forests as well as its exotic flora. Finally, there's a well-earned local wine-tasting experience to complete your day.

    Very enjoyable and informative, the frequent stops were welcome, we had been promised an all English trip, we were placed in a mixed English / German trip - it appeared to us the balance was towards German. It is important to deliver on your commitments, however we made the most of our trip…

    This tour exceeded our expectations and was excellent! We were picked up from our hotel on time, and our main tour guide (We can’t remember the gentleman’s name but he was fluent in German and English and was extremely informative, friendly and made the whole experience enjoyable) was amazing! Very informative and friendly. We visited so many places around the north and middle of the island, stopped for lunch, wine and food tasting. Lots of free time and photo ops. Excellent value for money!

    Guide Raffelle was great very cheerful very knowledgeable first village we was quaint but the second stop Masca was a total waste of time too many tourists at 1 time and a couple tacky souvenir shops ! The meal was a watery tomato soup make better myself and chicken (pink in the middle ) and mashed potatoes we thought it was going to be a traditional affair and the wine tasting was a shop we thought we were going to an actual vineyard ! Overall great guide but not worth the €164 for the 2 of us

Your guide will share the story of how savvy 16th-century Spanish growers planted European vines in the fertile, volcanic soil – catapulting Tenerife onto the global wine scene.Then, it's onto Bodegas El Lomo. See the garden, where rare grapes – almost extinct in Europe – continue to thrive, and sip wine, paired with a signature tapa from visionary chef, Jorge Bosch. The in-house wine specialist will take you through the key scents and stages to reveal a wine's origin in an aroma workshop with another signature tapa. Then, it's out to the patio for harvest snacks with textures of toasted gofio grains and a creamy local goat cheese, served with a fruity carbonic macerated wine. Your grand finale awakens your hearing. In a darkened room, try your final vintage and tapa and tune into how music affects your perception of wine.This is much more than a simple wine-tasting tour – it's a personal insight into how wine can stir the senses.
