Itinerary
We'll meet in the small vineyard where the Malvajio winery story began—a plot of just under a hectare, filled with gorgeous vines facing the sea, in a wonderful spot where you can truly breathe peace. There, in the winemaker's courtyard, we'll dive into our session of learning, tasting, and fun.

`I heard of the Mijas Organic Vineyard tour from my wife who had taken part only a few weeks ago. and thoroughly enjoyed it. We both had Antonio as our guide. He's the right man to explain the production of olive oil and wines, from the culture of olive trees and vines through to the end product we were privileged to sample. Antonio has an engaging personality and a dry sense of humour. 16 of us gathered for a summary of what we would be doing, seeing, and sampling. The site is attractive and ideally suited to the tour, being situated on the mountainside overlooking the coastline. Big enough to explore, but with no need for hiking.. Antonio introduced the basics of olive tree and vine management; also a resident team responsible for maintenance of ecological balance on the land: these comprise the goat, a few hens, the cat and Collie dog, Tom. You will just have to book in for the tour to find out more. What I particularly liked about the day was the relaxed and un- regimented structure. We met. Introductory talk near an olive grove. Walk a bit further stop by the rose bushes crucial to survival of the vines. Each of us was issued with a glass of a strong and fragrant vermut, Mala Mostia, exclusive to Vinedo Malvasia. Next , we. were free to explore the vines and the views, sipping as we went. Sipping downhill took us to the terraced hospitality area where a long trestle table had magically appeared, laden with bottled wines - white, rose, orange; glasses, and tapas of all kinds. Tom, the dog, was available to welcome his guests. I have been to wine and oil tastings before where I felt I was back at school , commanded: sniff, swill, slurp, taste the aroma, feel the burning sensation in the throat. If you can"t you fail. Now we are hearing, taste, you may get aromas of apple and pear, don't worry if you can"t , just enjoy it. Move on to another - the taste strengthens with exposure to the air. It did. And we did. So did the friendship with our fellow tasters. At my end were visitors from Denmark and New York. We got on so well that I have since been in contact to exchange email address etc to keep in touch. For this I have to thank Lisa from White Houses Tours, the organisers. She relayed messages over the entire weekend putting our group members in touch with one another. For which, many thanks. Lisa. All in all, the experience was everything that you could hope for, and more. Alistair Hamilton
Thank you so much, Alistair. What a wonderful review to read. We’re delighted that Antonio’s knowledge, humour and relaxed way of sharing the vineyard, olive oil and wines made the day feel so natural rather than formal. It’s especially lovely that the group atmosphere led to new friendships, and Lisa will be very happy to know her help after the tour was appreciated. Thank you for describing the experience so generously. WHT TEAM
Thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Antonio was a very welcoming as well as extremely knowledgeable host and Thomas dog was very welcoming too. Although only 8 in our group, 5 countries were represented - Yemen, Morocco, Canada, Wales and Ireland. The olive oils, the various wines and tapas dishes were all plentiful and very tasty. The wines, the food and the camaraderie among the group made it one of the most enjoyable afternoons of our week in Mijas, and possibly for others in the group too as we nearly had to be asked to leave, as we had stayed beyond out allotted time. If considering this tour, I would highly recommend you book it. Thanks to Antonio, and indeed to Thomas who got most of my tapas meats.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We loved reading how much you enjoyed the afternoon with Antonio, the wines, olive oils, tapas and the atmosphere in the group. It’s especially lovely to know it became one of the most enjoyable moments of your week in Mijas. Thomas will also be very pleased with his special mention 😁. WHT TEAM
Rodrigo from White House tours arranged a private vineyard tour, wine tasting and paella dinner for a group of 22 of us. Everything from the beginning was perfect. Rodrigo thought of every little detail to make it a special experience for us all. The wines were amazing and the dinner was even better. Thank you to Rodrigo and the team for organising a brilliant experience. I would highly recommend!
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. Rodrigo and the whole team are really happy to know that everything felt so carefully organised for your group. We’re delighted the private vineyard experience, Antonio’s wines and the paella dinner came together so well. Thank you for trusting us with such a special day and for recommending us so warmly.

Pablo was very friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed tasting all the wines and hearing about the vineyard and production of oil. Tom the dog was lovely. Highly recommend but remember to take a hat and some extra water.
Thank you, Verity! We’re so happy you enjoyed Pablo’s guiding, the wines, the vineyard, the olive oil production and Tom’s company. Your practical sunny-day reminder is also very useful for future travellers. Thank you for recommending the experience. WHT TEAM

A little hard to find. But the vineyard itself and the tasting was top class. Even the olive tasting was to your liking
Tack så mycket! Det stämmer att vår rustika "garage winery" i Mijas ligger lite gömd, men vi är glada att sökandet var värt det. Det är fantastiskt att höra att du tyckte att våra ekologiska viner och olivoljor höll absolut toppklass. Vi uppskattar verkligen ditt besök och din ärliga feedback. Skål! 🍷 WHT TEAM
This tour is well worth the money. Greeted at the gate by Antonio and Thomas (the dog) Great selection of wine and food. Very relaxed and informative. Small group of 17 the day we were there. All nationalities 👍🍷
Thank you! Being greeted by Tom and Antonio is the true welcome to our rustic garage winery in Mijas. We are thrilled you found the organic wines, tapas, and relaxed international vibe well worth the money. Cheers to that! 🍷 WHT TEAM
A couple of nice hours with super good information about wine and oil production
Mange tak! Vi er meget glade for, at du havde et par "hyggelige" timer på vores lille garage-vingård i Mijas. At dele viden om vores økologiske vin- og olieproduktion er vores store passion. Skål! WHT TEAM
