Manilva Oceanfront Wine Experience in the Marbella Area
Description
A vineyard with spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea. You will get to know the wine culture of Manilva, with vineyards in danger of disappearing due to urban harassment. At CIVIMA you will discover viticulture, winemaking and wine traditions. In the same CIVIMA building is the small winery, where we make our award-winning NILVA wines. We will finish our visit in the Peñoncillo Vineyard, a very special place, with unbeatable views of the Mediterranean Sea, Africa and the Costa del Sol. There, enjoying the sea breeze, we will taste our NILVA wines. And if you want to be part of our community and collaborate with the Save the Manilva Vines Project, you can sponsor one of our strains. Once the visit is over, in a few minutes, you can take a refreshing dip in the waters of the Mediterranean or enjoy the local gastronomy of seafood and fish, such as sardine espetos, in one of the restaurants and bars located at the beach

A very informative wine tour and tasting
What an absolute pleasure it was to enjoy the Nilva Wine Experience this evening!!! 🍷✨ Maggie, our host, is an incredible asset to the Manilva wine tourism industry. She educated us about Manilva wine and history with such passion, humour, and love ❤️ From the minute we arrived, she made sure we all had an amazing experience 🙌 This was the first time our group Random Fun Adventures have collaborated, and it definitely will not be the last!!! 🤝✨ The pictures do it no justice!!! 📸 From the museum tour, to the distillery, to the vineyards, to the sunset wine tasting and complimentary cheese, jamon & chocolates… it was all absolutely divine 🌅🍇🧀🍷 They even let us bring our own charcuterie boards to enhance the seaview experience 👌🏾 Please please please treat yourself and book onto this tour. And support an incredible local business right here in Manilva 💚 And just a little side note — even if you don’t drink alcohol or wine, it’s still a very informative and inclusive evening. Everyone is welcome 🫶 We absolutely loved it!!! Thanks again Nilva 🍷🍇
First I have to say that Maggie was our guide/sommelier and was fabulous! Not knowing anything about the wines they make I was amazed at the quality. Nilva produces two dry moscatel wines that are both wonderful! If you have a chance to visit when in Manilva do not miss this winery!!!
Thank you very much for your feedback. Although we are a relatively young and very small winery, we have already received significant recognition for our dry Muscat wines. Much of this success is down to the exceptional quality of the grapes from Manilva, grown in unique conditions. Best regards
We had the most wonderful experience learning about the history and process of Nilva wine. The tour was interesting and the wine tasting was wonderful surrounded by beautiful views. Maggie was very entertaining and you can she the passion she has for the job she does. Looking forward to returning.
Thank you very much for your feedback; it helps us to keep improving. We are certainly a very small team, but we put a lot of passion into what we do (especially Magi). We look forward to seeing you again.
The tour was excellent from start to finish. Beginning with the history of the area and the vineyard. Ending with wine testing with magnificent views as well as vino. Our guide, Maggie was warm, informative and full of good humour. We would thoroughly recommend.
Thank you very much for your feedback. We aim to make our tours both educational and enjoyable, and Magi is a brilliant guide for that.
We had an absolutely fantastic time on this wine tour! It was myself, my spouse, my mom, and my stepdad, and we traveled all the way from Canada while staying in the Casares area. This experience was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Maggie was incredibly welcoming and inviting from the start—she has a great sense of humor and an impressive knowledge of wine that she shares in such an approachable way. We began with a visit to the wine museum, then toured the winery itself, and later enjoyed a beautiful walk out to the vineyard. The views along the way were stunning and really added to the whole experience. What we appreciated most was how Maggie explained each wine in a simple, easy-to-understand way. It made the tasting both enjoyable and educational without ever feeling overwhelming. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. It’s a perfect mix of scenery, learning, and fun. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in the region!
We’re delighted that you enjoyed your visit and hope to see you again in the future. Thank you very much for your visit!
Maggie was just fantastic, her enthusiasm for the wine and the region made us all be excited about the wine too. Whist the inclement weather stopped us from visiting the vineyards the experience was definitely worth it, with a generous glass to taste. We were also able to get a taste of the students “experiment” Cava! A thoroughly enjoyable experience one I have no hesitation in recommending.
It’s a shame you weren’t able to visit the vineyard because of the bad weather. Let’s hope you’ll be able to complete your visit in the future. Regards.
Maggie was great! We learned about Manilva and the whole wine making process. Then we enjoyed the tasting with the beautiful views. Highly recommended.
Hello, we do our work with great care (especially our guide Magi) and respect for nature. In Manilva, it is wonderful to have these vineyards facing the sea. Thank you for your visit and feedback!
The activity was very pleasant. Very local and very intimate as an experience. The view at the top of the vineyard is just splendid.
Bonjour, nous sommes une toute petite entreprise et nous souhaitons partager notre travail et nos expériences, que nous réalisons avec beaucoup d'amour, en particulier notre guide Magi. Merci.
Was an informative wine experience. Enjoyed the information about the process and then got to taste some of the wine . Was a bit windy but Maggie was great .
Thank you for your feedback. We like to finish up in the vineyard whenever the weather permits, because the landscape and views are spectacular. The problem is that this area can be very windy on some days.
