La Laguna culture and exclusive wine experience

Let northern Tenerife show off two sides of its history and culture on this adults-only guided tour. You'll get swept up in the elegant architecture and lively cafes of San Cristóbal de La Laguna. While a short drive away, in Valle de Tegueste, you'll indulge your senses in an immersive wine-tasting tour at a local winery. The UNESCO-listed city of San Cristóbal de La Laguna is full of perfectly preserved plazas and wide streets lined with colonial mansions of every colour you can imagine. On an hour's walking tour, your guide will share stories and add some local flavour to the landmarks you'll see, like the island's only cathedral. You'll take a break at a popular café to sip on a traditional barraquito – Tenerife's iconic layered coffee drink – and nibble a homemade almond dessert.On the short drive to Valle de Tegueste, you'll see the landscape switch to rolling hills and sloped terraces, with row after row of vines. You'll be shown around a top-notch winery, where local experts will explain how the microclimate and volcanic soil here make for some pretty special wines. As you tour the winery, you'll taste four premium wines, each paired with dishes created by an award-winning local chef. It's a day that celebrates two of Tenerife's signature qualities, architecture that tells a story and a passion for first-rate food and wine.
