What people are saying about El Sauzal

Great tour, passionate guide/driver Joel who shared his knowledge of Tenerife’s history with us. My mum and I were picked from our hotel in Adeje and thus had a great tour around the island to the North. Vineyard / Bodega Monje was interesting, a fascinating old building, the wine tasting paired with nice snacks was very good. They organise a variety of unusual events here., check their website. Lunch was at a local Guachinche restaurant Como en Casa, rustic, homely, very busy with mainly locals and excellent food including dishes with a heritage going back many hundreds of years. This was a wonderful tour, educational, cultural, combined with great wines and delicious food.

Great experience. I would highly recommend it. I loved that we got to explore the town and culture of LA Laguna. It is an hour ride from Playa De Americas. The bus picked us up at our designated stop. We went to w different wineries that had great views and the second Winery we had dinner with 3 different wines. This is a great tour. The food was excellent. Definitely do this tour. We met nice people from tge United States.

We enjoyed everything: learning about winemaking in Tenerife, viewing the gardens, tasting the wines, tasting the food, viewing the house, the wines, the grape garden--everything!

Vi fikk se og oppleve mye på vår reise. Dyktig reiseleder, og behagelig sjåfør. En fin og smakfull opplevelse på vingården.

Great experience, the guide was really knowledgable and the wines were really good
