Description

After the pickup, we will head to the Humboldt Viewpoint, an iconic place in the Canary Islands. It is said that the scientist Alexander Humboldt knelt before the Valley of La Orotava, amazed by its beauty. From there, our guide will share the history of the Canary Islands, from the Guanches to the present day, while we enjoy the views of the sea and Mount Teide. Our next stop will take us to the fascinating Gofio Museum, located in the historic Lercaro Palace in La Orotava. This museum pays tribute to one of the most emblematic products of Canarian gastronomy: gofio. We will learn about the history and production process of this ancient food, which has been a fundamental part of the island’s diet since pre-Hispanic times. The museum also highlights the importance of gofio in local culture, from its role in daily meals to its symbolic value in festivals and traditions. We will discover how this product, made from roasted and ground cereals, has remained relevant over the centuries and continues to be an essential part of the Canarian table. The visit and wine tasting at Bodegas Tajinaste will put the finishing touch to our experience. There we will learn the ins and outs of one of the leading wineries in the Canary Islands whose wines can be found not only in some of the best restaurants in the Canary Islands and the Iberian Peninsula but also in the United States, Canada, Germany and the United Kingdom. We will be able to see first-hand a unique viticulture in the world: the braided cord vineyard. During the visit we will delve into the history of Canary Wine : the Canary wines that were highly appreciated in the world in the 7th and 8th centuries whose references we can find in Shakespeare's works. And we will end with a good taste in our mouths with a tasting of a selection of 3 wines with a small snack. Please check the pickup points before booking The pickup time will be confirmed 24 hours in advance
