Casa del Vino is a museum of Tenerife wine set in an old estate house in El Sauzal, on the island's north coast. Its exhibition rooms trace the history of wine-making on the island, alongside smaller displays on honey and agriculture. The house also runs tastings of regional varietals and has a restaurant and a shop selling bottles, spreads and liqueurs, banana wine among them.

What makes it special
The tasting happens outdoors, in the courtyard of the old hacienda. Three or four wines come to the table, running from white through rosé to red, each set beside something from the island: goat's cheese, honey, a cheese spread, cured pork leg.
Inside, the exhibition rooms tell the story of wine on Tenerife, and smaller displays cover honey and farming. The estate grounds are large, with room to wander after the last glass. On the way out, the shop stocks island bottles next to spreads and liqueurs. Look for the banana wine.
Good to know
- A tasting means several glasses. If you are driving, pick a designated driver or come by bus: the nearest stop is about 110 m away.
- The tasting table is in the open courtyard. Bring a light jacket in winter, when the north coast turns cool.
- The exhibition rooms sit apart from the tasting. Set time aside for them before or after your glass.
- There is a restaurant on site if you want a proper meal after the tasting.
Getting there
By car, you park within about 40 m of the house. A customers' car park lies about 90 m away, and there is free parking on the surrounding streets.
By bus, two stops serve the house: La Mejías, about 110 m away, and Las Mejías, about 160 m in a straight line. If you plan to taste, the bus is the sensible way to come.
Best time to visit
Best: Wednesday to Saturday, when the house stays open into the evening.

The tasting is held in the open courtyard, and the mild north-coast climate makes it pleasant in any season.
