Trevejos – Vineyards and Wine Experiences

Trevejos is best known as the wine-growing landscape of the Llano de Trevejos. The plain consists almost entirely of agricultural land, especially vineyards. Trevejos has approximately 250 hectares of vineyards. Wine experiences are a highlight of your stay: for example, a guided winery tour with tasting, insights into winegrowing, or self-guided tours by prior reservation.

Wine Landscape and History

The Llano de Trevejos is part of the protected landscape of Ifonche. The vineyards grow on volcanic soil: above the volcanic rock lies a surface layer of clay and sand about 1 to 1.5 metres thick. Trevejos is also associated with wines bearing the Denominación de Origen Abona designation of origin. Here, the agricultural character of the plain meets a wine-growing region.

The history of this cultural landscape extends beyond its present focus on grapevines. Traditional cultivation in jable, a local type of volcanic soil, contributes to the cultural and ethnographic value of the Llano de Trevejos. Historically, wheat and barley were as prominent as winegrowing. This means that past crops differed from the plain’s dominant crop today: grapevines.

Wineries and Experiences

At Bodegas Reverón, a guided winery tour combines explanations of its history and winemaking with a guided tasting afterwards. It includes four wines and a snack of typical local products. The winery also offers walks through the vineyards. Another option is “Vino + Picoteo” for two people, pairing a selected wine with typical Canarian products.

Bodegas Altos de Trevejos offers tours of the winery and vineyards. The tour covers the family project, winemaking, grape varieties, volcanic soils, and high-altitude viticulture. Wine tastings with local products are also available. The winery has 15 hectares of old vineyards in the Llano de Trevejos at an altitude of 1,300 metres; the stated area may change over time.

Self-guided tours are available at Finca Ecológica Alma de Trevejos by prior reservation. Visitors can learn about winegrowing, from cultivating the vines and treading the grapes to ageing the wine, and taste the wines. This means you can choose between guided winery tours and a self-guided option, with insights into various stages of winegrowing.

The finca also has a small “Noah’s Ark” with numerous animals, mostly species endemic to the archipelago. These include the Canarian black pig, goats, Herreño and Pelibuey sheep, turkeys, partridges, quail, pigeons, turtledoves, ducks, rabbits, speckled chickens, and guinea fowl.

Local Products and Getting There

Tastings and local products also complement the wine theme. Bodega Lagar de Chasna offers tastings of its “1242” wine and typical Canarian products. Bodega 1242 invites visitors to enjoy a glass of its own organic wines. In the Trevejos area, Doña Margarita makes artisan cheese from raw goat’s milk; the cheese must be ordered in advance. Confirm visit and tasting details ahead of time.

The Cabildo lists the Pista de Trevejos-Vilaflor between kilometre 14.6 and kilometre 16.5 of the TF-51 between La Camella and Vilaflor. Check road and route conditions before setting off. This makes the journey there a separate point to consider when planning, regardless of which winery or wine experience you choose.
