Bodega La Araucaria. Producción ecológica — Attraction in La Orotava

We were fortunate to receive a tour at Bodega La Araucaria during our visit to the Canary Islands. After reaching out to several wineries, Dolores kindly responded to our request for a tour and tasting.

She welcomed us warmly—along with her two beautiful dogs—and shared her knowledge of how the grapes are grown. At our request, she even took the time to show us her corded vines. Throughout the tour, her passion for viticulture, winemaking, and the wine industry was unmistakable. It was inspiring to witness a winemaker and winery owner so deeply in love with her work. Her enthusiasm was truly infectious.

Dolores invited us to sample her wines, and it was there that I experienced the best orange wine I’ve ever had—aromatic with notes of rosemary and orange blossom, striking a perfect balance.

If you have the chance to tour with Dolores, don’t hesitate. It’s well worth the time and effort...

Loved this winery. I was at an event in Niagara at Pearl Moressette and telling a wine maker from the Finger Lakes about this winery and he grabbed his phone and pulled up a picture and said, was it her. Yes Delores. He said she makes awesome wine. And it all comes to America. I said we asked her about shipping to Canada but she wasn’t interested as she can sell everything to the USA. She rocks, her wines are authentic. I wish I could get them. If you go to the canary’s...

If you can find your way to this slice of heaven on the outskirts of La Orotava, please go! And try to call in advance to schedule time with Dolores, the one-woman show who runs this organic and biodynamic winery. She is generous with her time and her wine, explains her process and the product is just fantastic. I would have been happy to stay on her property with her sweet dogs! Thank you so much for a great afternoon and for your amazing hospitality, Dolores...
