MALLORCA, ISLAND OF WINE
We often meet clients from all over the world who may have chosen Mallorca for its beautiful beaches and crystal-clear waters.
But Mallorca is not just sea and sun — it’s full of history, nature, art, and a rich and diverse gastronomic culture.
Wine tourism is on the rise and, over the years, it has become a real trend. Think of Tuscany and the Chianti region, visited every year by millions of tourists, or Burgundy, home to some of France’s most prestigious wines. Yet, Mallorca is still rarely associated with wine production.
Combining fine cuisine, the sea, and breathtaking landscapes is a powerful driver for tourism — an invitation to discover and taste local products. Wine production in Mallorca dates back to Roman times, when vines were cultivated low to the ground and on pergolas. This tradition continues today, and the island boasts two Denominations of Origin — Binissalem and Pla i Llevant — as well as a geographical indication for “Vino de la Tierra de Mallorca.”
Denominations of Origin & Vino de la Tierra:
- DO Binissalem: Includes the municipalities of Santa María del Camí, Sencelles, Binissalem, Consell, and Santa Eugenia.
- DO Pla i Llevant: Covers municipalities in the eastern part of Mallorca.
- IG Vino de la Tierra de Mallorca: Encompasses over 70 wineries across the island.
Mallorca’s wineries produce a wide range of wines: reds, whites, rosés, and sparkling wines. Native varieties such as Manto Negro and Callet have been revalued, while others like Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay have been introduced to broaden the selection.
There are more than 70 wineries and over 500 wine brands on the island. Of course, we can’t mention them all here, so we’ll highlight just a few that are particularly committed to circular production, local sourcing, and feature on our wine list.
Among the most notable is Macià Batle, producing both red and white wines in Santa María. In 2024, the town of Sóller awarded this historic winery the “Km0 Ambassador” title, recognizing their dedication to sustainable local production in line with Mallorca’s winemaking tradition.
Another must-visit is Can Axartell, located in the northeast near Pollença. One of the island’s most modern wineries with a centuries-old story, it’s a place filled with the scent of olive trees, bark, and grapes. We highly recommend booking a visit to experience their gravity-flow winemaking process, explore ancestral native varieties, stroll through vineyards and thousand-year-old olive groves, and end with a tasting of their wines, house-made olive oils, and Mallorcan gastronomy.
Our wine list is extensive, and we encourage you to explore it. Our sommeliers are always happy to guide you toward the best products from the Balearic Islands. We apologize to the many wonderful wineries we can’t mention here, all of which fill the island with the aroma of must and wine, making Mallorca one of the Mediterranean’s true gems.
