“I absolutely loved the Tapas and Wine Tour in Mogán! The entire experience took about 2,5 hours and was perfectly paced. It started with a wonderful mini-excursion where we explored a 200-year-old Canarian farmhouse and a beautiful cactus garden. The food was incredible—there were so many delicious tapas to try. We enjoyed a great selection of white and red wines, but the highlight was definitely the vermouth. They serve Vermut Lolito, which is the very first vermouth produced in Gran Canaria and is made right there at the Valle de Mogán restaurant. Being able to taste such a unique, local product makes this a truly exclusive experience. I highly recommend…”
