Flavourful tour through the wine diversity of the Marina Baixa and Marina Alta

The Costa Blanca is an Eldorado for wine lovers who want to enjoy the region's diverse and Mediterranean range of wines. With a mixture of tradition and modern cultivation methods, the wineries on the Costa Blanca combine a fascinating range of wines and offer their guests an unrivalled experience.

A favourite among the wineries is Bodega Teulada, which specialises in muscatel, a typical grape variety of the region. Here, visitors can sample both sweet and dry varieties and learn more about the production process. The winery places particular emphasis on preserving local traditions with a connection to modernity and gives visitors an insight into the history and culture of this special grape. The olive oil produced here is also one of the specialities that guests can taste.

The diversity of the wineries
Many of the wineries, including Bodegas Enrique Mendoza in Alfaz del Pi and Bodegas Xaló in Xaló, open their doors to visitors and offer great insights into the wine culture of the region. While Enrique Mendoza places a special focus on red wine and impresses with its sustainable production, Bodegas Xaló is known for its sweet Moscatel wines.

Another highlight is the Bodega Masos Guadalest, which is located in the picturesque surroundings of Benimantell. The bodega offers tastings in a restored historic property that blends modern and traditional elements. In addition to the wines, visitors have the opportunity to taste the winery's own olive oil or enjoy a multi-course menu with tasting, making the visit an all-round successful experience (see also pages 16-18, Gastro).
