We toured the north of Tenerifè which was a stark contrast to where our hotel was on the beaches in the south of Tenerife.
The landscape that we visited in the north was out of this world. Driving through the volcanic landscape, walking through the volcanic national park, and then through the thick fog of the pine mountains, to the mountainous town of Tacoronte-Acentejo (region), to the beautiful vineyards of Monje. All of it what incredible, the temperature changes, the views, all were incredible, very very happy Jamie (our guide) told us to pack warm clothes to layer.
We travel quite a bit, we’ve been to several wine tours world wide, and have even studied wine ourselves, but my goodness, this meal paired with the wine at Monje was delicious!!!
Now, all that said, this trip was made excellent by our guide, Jamie.
When we travel we always do a wine tour if we are in a wine region or a food tour with Viator.
But this one exceeded expectations.
We departed our hotel at 8:30am and returned back at 5:00pm.
There were many places we stopped to walk, enjoy scenery, take photos, have a coffee, use the restroom … all the while Jamie answered all of our questions in the most knowledgeable way. Being that he studied tourism and has a degree in all things Tenerife made this trip and his share of knowledge extra special.
Now, going back to Monje. A small Vinyard over looking the sea with wines that were reminiscent of Greek earthy characteristics but its own subtle charm, the Rosè stood out to us the most. But holy moly, the pork. I’m not a fan of meat usually, but that pork was out of this world.
We learned a lot, we ate more than enough, and we walked around quite a bit, but the time I returned home, we were at a little over 10k steps. But we did enjoy wandering into the deserted volcanic terrain and Jamie gave us space and time to do this.
We had an exceptional day and we thank Jamie for this. We highly recommend doing this tour with Jamie at Feel Tenerife!!
Bravo! Gracias! Thank you, Jamie!!
