I’ll never forget the first time I sipped a glass of Mallorcan wine under the golden light of a Pollença sunset. It was one of those slow, perfect moments — rich with flavour, local charm, and a sense that I’d tapped into something truly special. While Mallorca is often celebrated for its beaches and historic towns, what many people don’t realise is just how incredible its wine culture is — especially in the north, around the enchanting town of Pollença.
Over the years, I’ve returned to this corner of the island again and again, and each visit has included a stop (or three) at some of the best local wineries and tasting rooms. Whether nestled in the foothills of the Tramuntana mountains or tucked away in rustic fincas surrounded by vines, these places offer more than just a glass of wine — they offer a full experience of Mallorcan terroir, tradition, and hospitality.
In this guide, I’m sharing my five favourite places for wine tasting in Pollença. These are spots I’ve personally visited, loved, and can wholeheartedly recommend — whether you're a curious beginner or a seasoned wine enthusiast. From bold reds to crisp whites and rich local varietals you won’t find anywhere else, each of these venues showcases the best of what this magical region has to offer.
Let’s raise a glass to discovering the true taste of Pollença.
Mallorca has been a beloved holiday destination for as long as I can remember — and having spent plenty of time here, I can confidently say it’s easy to see why. The island’s sun-drenched beaches, turquoise waters, and relaxed pace of life are enough to win anyone over. But for me, it’s the culture, the landscapes, and — more recently — the wine, that keep drawing me back. One town that’s especially close to my heart is Pollença. Nestled in the north of the island, it’s a place where time slows down. With its cobbled streets, terracotta rooftops, and a historic centre full of character, it feels like stepping into another world.
What makes Pollença even more special for me is its location. Surrounded by rolling countryside and tucked near some of the island’s finest vineyards, it’s become one of my favourite spots to enjoy wine tasting in Mallorca. The island’s winemaking tradition dates back centuries, and even today, that legacy is alive and thriving. From bold reds grown in mineral-rich soil to crisp whites that reflect the island’s Mediterranean breeze, the variety and quality of wines here are something to savour.
Whether you’re a casual wine lover like I was at first, or someone who’s seriously passionate about grape varietals and terroir, you’ll find something here that speaks to you. Some of my most memorable afternoons have been spent strolling through sunlit vineyards, chatting with winemakers, and sipping wines with views over the Tramuntana mountains.
So in this post, I’ve gathered together five of my absolute favourite places to go wine tasting in and around Pollença. Whether it’s a charming, family-run bodega or an established winery with generations of expertise, these are spots I’ve personally visited and truly recommend. Each one offers a unique slice of Mallorca’s wine culture — and I hope you enjoy discovering them just as much as I have.
Tucked away right in the heart of Pollensa, Bodegas Xaloc is a real gem I stumbled upon during one of my first wanderings through the town. It’s more than just a wine shop — it’s an experience for the senses. Founded by the Llabrés family back in 1997, this gourmet spot offers an impressive selection of local Mallorcan wines alongside some international picks. But what really sets it apart for me is the way it pairs fine wine with artisanal delights — cured meats, cheeses, chocolates, jams, and even their own olive oil.
The name “Xaloc” comes from the warm southeastern wind that gently sweeps across the island, and fittingly, there’s something comforting and inviting about this place. I was surprised to learn they also run their own vineyard just outside of town, growing classic grape varieties like Merlot, Shiraz, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Their wine production combines traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge techniques, and it shows — many of their bottles have earned international acclaim.
One of the best parts? You can sample their wines right in-store or head out to their scenic vineyard, where you can sip rosé and reds with views of rolling hills in every direction. Whether you’re popping in for a quick taste or taking the time to explore their full offering, Bodegas Xaloc is an unforgettable stop for anyone who loves good wine and good food with a distinctly Mallorcan flair.
Everytime I visit Bodegas Can Vidalet , I’m reminded just how magical wine tasting in Mallorca can be. Located just outside Pollensa, this beautiful estate sits beneath the dramatic backdrop of the Tramuntana mountains. The first time I came here, I remember being struck by the sense of calm — vines stretching into the distance, the hum of nature, and that soft Mediterranean light falling across the terrace.
What makes this place truly special is its dedication to sustainability. From renewable energy use to innovative water conservation techniques, it’s clear that environmental responsibility is at the heart of everything they do. Their wines, made from both native grapes like Prensal and French varietals, are biodynamic and full of character — a true reflection of the land they grow in.
During my last visit, I paired a flight of their wines with traditional Mallorcan tapas, enjoyed right on their outdoor terrace that overlooks the vineyard. It was one of those rare moments that fully engages all your senses — the food, the wine, the views, and the fresh air. If you’re looking for an authentic and sustainable wine experience in Mallorca, Bodegas Can Vidalet should absolutely be on your list.
Driving up to Finca Can Axartell feels like discovering a hidden world tucked into Mallorca’s northern hills. This place has a timeless feel to it — centuries-old buildings lovingly restored, olive trees dotting the landscape, and vines flowing across the hillside. Since opening in 2014, it’s quickly become one of my favourite places to visit near Pollensa, not just for the wine but for the complete connection to nature and tradition that the finca represents.
Their commitment to organic farming really resonates with me. Every vine is grown with deep respect for the land, and their wine-making process is as sustainable as it is innovative. During my guided tour, I was fascinated by how they’ve transformed an old stone quarry into a modern, gravity-fed winery — it’s a breathtaking space that blends history with functionality.
What I loved most about my time at Can Axartell was how immersive it felt. Walking through the vines, learning about the process from grape to bottle, and finally tasting their wines while looking out over the island’s wild northern terrain — it was unforgettable. Whether you’re new to wine tasting or a seasoned connoisseur, this finca offers an experience that stays with you long after the final sip.
If you happen to be in Pollensa during May, you’re in for a treat. The Pollensa Wine Fair is one of my absolute favourite events on the island — and that’s saying something. Held each year in the historic Convent de Santo Domingo, the fair brings together wine producers from all over Mallorca for a celebration of the island’s rich and diverse wine scene.
The atmosphere is electric — the scent of local cuisine, the sound of conversations and laughter echoing through ancient cloisters, and dozens of wine stands showcasing everything from crisp whites to deep, velvety reds. For a small entrance fee, you’re handed a tasting glass and free rein to explore. I’ve discovered some of my favourite wines here, including small-scale vineyards I wouldn’t have known about otherwise.
What I love about this fair is not just the wine (though that's definitely a highlight), but the sense of community it creates. You meet locals, chat with passionate winemakers, and gain real insight into the people and traditions behind the bottles. If you're planning a wine-focused trip to Mallorca, timing your visit around the Pollensa Wine Fair is something I couldn’t recommend more.
Vinyes Mortitx is unlike any other winery I’ve visited in Mallorca — and that’s largely due to its stunning location. Perched 400 metres above sea level in the heart of the Tramuntana mountains, this vineyard is all about altitude, innovation, and raw natural beauty. On my visit, I was immediately taken in by the rugged terrain and how perfectly the vines seemed to thrive in such a dramatic setting.
Established in 2005, this winery is a shining example of how traditional winemaking can go hand-in-hand with modern technology and sustainable practices. They now have over 19 hectares of vines, producing everything from bold Merlots and Syrahs to Malvasia — a beautifully aromatic grape with deep Mediterranean roots.
What really made the experience stand out for me were the activities they offered beyond the wine itself. I joined a vineyard tour that included a guided hike through the surrounding mountains and finished with a tasting session that felt like a true reward. There’s even the option to join group lunches and dinners, showcasing Mallorcan cuisine alongside their wines.
For a wine experience that’s rich in both flavour and scenery, Vinyes Mortitx is a must. It’s not just a tasting — it’s a full day of exploring, learning, and soaking up the magic of Mallorca’s wild heart.
It’s safe to say that Mallorca is home to its fair share of delightful wineries and breathtaking vineyards and that Pollensa harbours a large portion of these. From sustainable sites with a passion and commitment to biodynamic methods to family-run establishments with decades of experience in traditional wine production grounded in cultural heritage, the choice is yours as to which you choose to learn more about.
