Gran Canaria · WINE, RUM & BANANA TOURS
28 reviewed
Bananas, rum and volcanic-soil wine are the island’s three great exports, and you can taste all of them in an afternoon. Here are the plantation and distillery tours worth the drive: what you sample, how long you spend, and whether transport from the resorts is part of the deal.

Generös och givande provsmakning som avslutning, med möjlighet till köp av dryck och andra varor.”

“The tour was great, 5 stars for that. Our tourguide Tom was excellent. The busdriver was really good, but we had to sit in a minibus for the last part. Felt unsafe, the other driver drove so fast (>120 km/h) and it was really a bumpy ride.”

“Marta und Ruben haben sich rührend um uns gekümmert. Marta ist Kapitänin und Ruben der Guide. es gab neben dem Wein auch andere Getränke wie Bier, Wasser, Sangria, Cola etc. drei Gänge wurden serviert und genau erklärt welcher Wein dazu getrunken wird und vor allem wie er getrunken wird. erstaunlich, dass man Wein und Joghurt gut zusammen zu such nehmen kann. während der 1 Std Fahrt an der Küste entlang hat Ruben uns die Gegend genau erklärt. der Teide von Teneriffa war super zu sehen. alles in allem war es ein schöner Vormittag/Mittag.. Großes Dankeschön an Marta und Ruben”
