One of the experiences we had in Tenerife was a ride towards Mount Teide to visit three local wineries or bodegas. At each bodega we sampled wines in the red, white and rose' family! The first was Bodega Revero'n in Vilaflor which has been family owned since 1947. This winery is 1300 meters above sea level. Diego and his wife, Dona, took us on a tour showing us how they currently process their wine and then to the old press of days long ago. They also gave us lessons in wine tasting: what to look for in color, what to smell and how to taste. They even set up tables with "nibbles" consisting of pastrami, nuts, bread and cookies all native to the area. Upon leaving, Dona provided each of us with a bottle of our chosen wine!!!! I loved the fruity taste of the white wine which is made with white listan grapes. The Reverons were so gracious and hospitable....such a wonderful place to visit!!
