Wine Tasting on the Costa Blanca: a Short Guide

The Costa Blanca is best known for beach holidays, but the Alicante region makes wine worth getting to know. The Monastrell grape thrives in the heat, and local bodegas produce everything from powerful reds to the sweet classic Fondillón.

What to try

Start with a Monastrell from Alicante, try a fresh Moscatel-based white from Marina Alta, and finish with Fondillón if you come across it. These are wines you rarely find at home, so the holiday is your chance.

Where to taste

You do not need a rental car and bodega tours to get started. At Katavi in l'Alfàs del Pi, right by Albir, you can blind taste a selection of Spanish wines in a small group and find out what you actually like.
