Their tours, led by the passionate owners, pair exquisite wines with local tapas for a truly immersive experience. Closer to the heart of Ronda, Finca Descalzos Viejos combines historic charm with modern winemaking in a restored 16th-century monastery. Finally, the iconic Antigua Casa de Guardia, established in 1820, offers a journey back in time with its traditional Málaga wines and authentic Andalusian ambiance.
Wine Routes and Vibrant Festivals
Málaga’s scenic wine routes are perfect for travellers looking to immerse themselves in the local culture while savouring exceptional wines. The shorter Serranía de Ronda Wine Route winds through charming towns like Arriate and Gaucín, while the more extensive Ronda and Málaga Wine Route explores villages like Cómpeta and Mollina, each with its own winemaking traditions.
The region also celebrates its heritage with lively grape harvest festivals. In August, Cómpeta hosts La Noche del Vino, a vibrant night of wine, music, and dancing. In September, towns like Manilva and Mollina hold events featuring grape treading, tastings, and even poetry competitions. For a unique cultural twist, Ronda’s Heritage Wine Festival blends winemaking traditions with flamenco-inspired costumes and celebrations, offering visitors an unforgettable experience.
Immersive Wine Experiences
Wine tourism in Málaga goes beyond tastings. Visitors can stroll through sun-drenched vineyards, learn about centuries-old winemaking techniques, and savour pairings of wine and local gastronomy. Many wineries offer unique experiences, such as picnics under ancient oak trees or guided tours through historic estates. For those seeking deeper knowledge, the region’s wine museums, such as the Museo del Vino de Málaga, provide fascinating insights into the history and evolution of local wines.
Málaga also offers a perfect blend of nature and culture. Combine your wine journey with activities like hiking, horseback riding, or exploring nearby historic towns. Every sip of wine is enhanced by the stunning backdrops of the Sierra de las Nieves, the Guadalhorce valley, or the Mediterranean coastline.
