9 Wine Tours & Tastings in Marbella That You Shouldn't Miss

October 15, 2021 Nicolette Lion

In the chic, sun-drenched Costa del Sol town of Marbella, hints of its former Moorish occupation mingle with modern-day resort amenities. Bask on the sands of famous La Fontanilla beach or ricochet among the area's family-oriented water, wildlife and theme parks. Experience the Andalusian charm of the historic quarter, filled with whitewashed buildings, remnants of a ninth-century Arab fortress and fragrant orange trees. End a relaxing day with a dish of the cold almond soup ajoblanco and some of the region's excellent dessert wine.

My Girlfriend and I did this tour in may 2021. We were picked up by our guide Nicky in Mijas. Nicky is a great guide, very knowable about wine and very friendly, and good with small talk. We visited 3 different vineyards, each with their different characteristics. The first one being the biggest, and they made lovely wines. The second one a bit smaller, but very good wines and owned by a family. The third one very small, but so cozy and with amazing wines. We were very surprised about the wine quality in all 3 places. From all the wine tours we have done in Mallorca, Madrid, Napa Vally etc, this one was by far the best. The wines can defiantly compare with the best, and the our guide Nicky did a great job story telling about the region etc. Would recommend this any time!

Nicky was the perfect host - professional and knowledgeable as well as charming and with a great sense of humour! Everything was arranged to perfection. Ronda is a fabulous wine growing area with stunning scenery and the winemakers we were introduced to were really passionate about their wines and excited to share their stories with us. It was a very personalised tour and being hosted by the owners of the vineyards made it that little bit more special. We tasted a good range of wines, accompanied by local tapas and then a super lunch at the second vineyard, all of which were delicious. To finish the day, we had the good fortune of being serenaded by the owner with flamenco music played on his Spanish guitar as we watched the sun go down. All in all, an unforgettable experience, I can´t wait to go back again!

After travelling with Fly Blue Catamarans from Puerto Banus to Marbella we met Manuel, founder of Taste Marbella Tours, in the old town centre. For the next three hours, Manuel took us to three fantastic places for some superb tapas and wine and told us about the history of Marbella and its delicacies. We would not have found these truly authentic tapas bars, which were tucked away in little alley ways, by ourselves. What an excellent way to spend the evening!
