Discover the beautiful white washed villages of the Axarquia, just 20 minutes in land from Malaga and then learn about the wine history in the hands of a local wine expert. You will be picked up at your accommodation on the Costa del Sol and driven in a 4WD, luxury minivan to one of 4 villages; Competa, Moclinejo, Sedella and Sayalonga. Your WSET level 4 wine guide will then take you to two local wineries. First, you will visit a a traditional family run winery passed through 3 generations. You will learn and experience the heroic farming techniques, recently recognised by the UNESCO as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System (GIAHS), where mules are still used to plough and farm the vineyards. You will get to taste the range of traditional sweet Malaga wines and the modern still wines from Sierras de Malaga.

You will then be taken to visita a modern vineyard, that still used traditional techniques to dry their grapes on mats to concentrate the sugars for sweet wines, as well as stainless steel tanks and french oak barrels for their full bodeied reds. After the vineyard visit, sit and enjoy the spectacular view from the winery restaurant and savour a delicious gourmet 3 course meal made from local grown, seasonal produce, paired with a range of red, white, rosé and a sweet wine from Malaga.
