Top 6 Wine Tasting Experiences on the Costa del Sol

There are lots of wineries in Andalusia, but only a small number of those allow the public to look around them and take tours of the winery. Touring the wineries is a great day out and it is a chance to try some of the delicious local wines and sherries from the area. Below is a list of the wineries or ‘bodegas’ that are open to the public in the Malaga area. Most bodegas require pre-booking so call or email to reserve your place before you turn up!
