Mallorca is a popular destination in the Mediterranean for wine lovers, offering plenty of interesting wineries and vineyards to explore. Two of the island’s regions have been awarded Spanish D.O.

The Best Wineries in Mallorca
Bodega Ribas
If you’re looking for a unique wine-tasting experience in Mallorca with a long history, Bodega Ribas is the perfect spot. Founded in the 17th century, this winery has been producing some of the finest wines in Spain from its 49 hectares of vines.
Their dedication to researching and improving native varieties of grapes, as well as their commitment to environmental and social sustainability, is a testament to the quality of their wines.

Wine-tasting experiences offer 3 to 4 different wines, and generally last 1.5 hours for 25€. They also include a variety of Local specialties and are usually private tours or very small groups. Make sure to reserve online ahead of time.
Bodega Macia Batle
For wine connoisseurs visiting Mallorca, a visit to Bodegas Macia Batle is a must. This award-winning winery has been producing some of the finest wines in Spain since 1856 and boasts over 300 prizes and awards for wine quality. Their traditional methods involve carbonic maceration with the Mallorcan Manto Negro grape, which produces lighter-colored, less full-bodied wines.
One of the interesting things that differentiate this winery is that every year they invite acclaimed artists to participate in the creation of their new labels. This gives a very artistic touch to the way they market their wine, and you can feel the influence of an art lover in the different halls of the reception area as well.
If you are looking for something short and sweet, very informative, thoroughly enjoyable, and well-priced, this is the place for you. Visitors to the winery can partake in a 45-minute guided tour where they will sample five wines and some local cured ham and cheese.
Times do vary slightly, but tours are generally held Monday through Saturday at 11:00 am, 12:00 pm, 1:30 pm, 3:00 pm, and 4:00 pm for 15€ per person. Definitely book in advance online, but if you are in the area and would like to join a tour on the spur of the moment this is also possible.
Bodega Son Prim
Bodega Son Prim is one of the popular smaller wineries in Mallorca, especially for those looking for premium wines. It was founded in 2003 and is known for producing exclusive, high-quality wines that start at just 11.50 EUR per bottle. I love the Son Prim wines and couldn’t wait to visit since I buy them often! Their lovely modern installations didn’t disappoint.
Touring this winery was very enjoyable and was a kind of history lesson on Mallorcan techniques and the unique local wine culture of the area. The beautiful vineyards that surround it only enhanced the experience, making it all that much more picturesque.
Visitors can choose from four different types of experiences, the most basic of which starts at 15 EUR and includes a variety of 3 wines to sample. Make sure to book in advance online.
Vins Ca’n Novell
This is a really authentic experience where wine is sold by the gallon, the bottle, as boxed wine, or at the filling station. The shop consists of several humongous barrels lined up and the number of locals who come here to fill their own deposits here attests to the excellent wine you can get here at great prices.
Wine-tasting reservations here need to be made by phone but are definitely worth your trouble. It is an interesting experience that removes the pomp and circumstance of most cellars and feels very Mallorquin. I highly recommend a visit to Ca’n Novell.
They offer, 2 red, 2 white, 2 rose and 1 dessert wine served with tapas for 15€. There is however a minimum of 4 people. If you’d like to try the experience, make sure to call Andre at +34 609982959.
Most wines here go for between 2 and 7€! Excellent vermouth, as well as olive oil, is also sold in the shop at very reasonable prices. Definitely not to be missed if you want to see an unspoiled non-commercial side of Mallorca.
Bodega Binigual
Bodega Binigual is a must-visit for wine enthusiasts visiting Mallorca. Situated in the heart of the picturesque Binissalem wine-growing district, this quaint hamlet dates back to the Moorish era and encompasses 14 traditional Mallorcan houses, a historic winery, a Vinoteca, and even a farm.
Here, you can sample some of the finest Mallorcan wines, of which white and rosé are their specialty, as well as enjoy the delightful and peaceful atmosphere of the historic estate and its delightful garden.
Open 7 days a week with no reservation necessary, a tasting goes for 31€ and includes as many wines as they have available as well as homemade bread and olive oil. This is truly an unforgettable experience for those who appreciate fine wines and beautiful scenery. Not to be missed.
Bodega Tianna Nere
For those visiting Mallorca and looking for a truly unique wine-tasting experience, Bodega Tianna Nere is the perfect destination. With its modern building set against the stunning backdrop of the Tramuntana mountain range, this ecological winery is sure to impress.
Out of all the wineries I have visited in Mallorca, this is one of my favorites. The service is excellent and the wines are at the top of my list. Here you’ll find a selection of ecological and biological wines made from local and international grape varieties with sustainability in mind.
The tasting experience here is a treat, with three wines served alongside freshly-baked bread and their own olive oil for 15€ per person. Be sure to book in advance for the guided visit, which requires a minimum of six people.
Although prices are a little steeper, from 10-30 € per bottle, the smoothness of the wine here is truly worth the extra expense. Tianna Nere’s stunning views and top-notch wines are a great way to get an authentic taste of Mallorcan wine culture while learning more about the area’s unique varieties of grapes.
