Monje Winery

Bodegas Monje specializes in Listán Negro, Listán Blanco, and Negramoll grape varieties, which thrive in Tenerife’s volcanic landscape. The winery offers guided tours, wine tastings, and traditional Canarian meals at its on-site restaurant with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. Visitors can explore the underground wine cellar, learn about the fermentation process, and taste the famous Tenerife red and rosé wines. The winery also hosts special events, including wine and cheese pairings, cooking classes, and the famous "Wine & Sex" experience, a unique evening of food, wine, and entertainment.

Tours and tastings can be booked in advance, especially during peak seasons. The winery is family-friendly, offering non-alcoholic grape juice tastings for younger visitors. Tenerife’s wines are often stronger in flavor due to the volcanic soil, making them a unique experience for wine lovers. If you enjoy a particular wine, consider buying a bottle, as some varieties are only available locally.

Bodegas Monje is located in El Sauzal, about 25 minutes from Santa Cruz de Tenerife and 20 minutes from Puerto de la Cruz by car. The easiest way to reach the winery is by rental car or taxi, as public transport options are limited. However, some guided wine tours from Tenerife’s main resorts include transportation, making it an easy and relaxing visit.
