Wine Tourism Plans for Summer on the Costa Blanca
Wine and beach? In Alicante, it's possible. Summer on the Costa Blanca invites the perfect combination of swimming, sunset tastings, and visits to the wineries of Marina, where the vineyards overlook the sea.
Wine and Sea
In summer, Marina Alta offers the perfect plan: beach in the morning; vineyard in the afternoon. In Xaló, Benissa, or Teulada, the wineries are just a stone's throw from the coast, nestled among terraces of Muscat grapes with views of the Mediterranean.
Sunset Tastings
The heat encourages visits to take place in the later hours of the day. Many wineries schedule sunset tastings, with golden light over the vines and a breeze that is truly appreciated. It’s an unforgettable experience.
Wines for Summer
Fresh whites made from dry Muscat or Merseguera, Monastrell rosés, and for dessert, a well-chilled mistela. Serve them at the right temperature and enjoy.
Tips
- Book afternoon tastings in advance: they are in high demand in August.
- Stay hydrated and avoid the peak hours of the day.
- Combine a winery visit with a nearby village in Marina and a close cove.
