Wine tasting in Menorca: an experience with local identity<\/p>\n

The authentic taste of Menorca<\/h1>\n

A wine tasting in Menorca<\/strong> is much more than a gastronomic activity: it is a way to get to know the island through its landscapes, its history, and its culture. With centuries of winemaking tradition, Menorca has revived a sector in recent decades that is now consolidated as an essential part of experiential and sustainable tourism.<\/p>\n

History of wine on the island<\/h2>\n

Vine cultivation in Menorca dates back to Roman times, reaching its peak in the 18th century during British rule. Although the activity declined in the 19th century, it was rescued by local entrepreneurs starting in the 1980s. Today, Menorca produces wines with their own personality once again, tied to the territory.<\/p>\n

Vi de la Terra Illa de Menorca<\/h2>\n

Since 2002, Menorcan wines have been protected under the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) Vi de la Terra Illa de Menorca<\/strong><\/a>. This guarantees that the grapes come from local vineyards and that the process follows quality standards. The most widely grown varieties include Malvas\u00eda, Chardonnay, and Moscatel for whites, and Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah for reds.<\/p>\n
