Málaga Wine Tours & Vineyard Tastings
Málaga makes two very different wines: the sweet Moscatel and Pedro Ximénez the city has traded for centuries, and the serious dry reds and whites of the Ronda hills, and both are an easy day from the coast. Compare the top-rated wine tours below, then read our notes.

The two Málagas
The old wine is sweet: Moscatel de Alejandría and Pedro Ximénez grapes dried in the Andalusian sun and made into the dark, honeyed wines that supplied European courts. The place to taste it in town is the Antigua Casa de Guardia, open since 1840. The new wine is dry and comes from altitude: the Ronda hills and the Serranía, DO Sierras de Málaga, where cool nights make reds from Tempranillo, Syrah and Petit Verdot and crisp whites, at a clutch of modern wineries.
The day trips
Most bookable Málaga wine experiences are day trips into the mountains: a winery near Ronda or Álora, a tour of the vines and cellar, a tasting of five or six wines with tapas, and the transport that means you can drink, back on the coast by evening. Ronda itself, the cliff-top town, is worth the trip regardless. Organic and family estates dominate, so the tastings are personal.
In the city
If you would rather stay in Málaga, the historic bodegas and wine bars pour the sweet wines and a range of Sierras de Málaga bottles with local bites; see also our Málaga food hub.

Sweet Malaga wine
Malaga’s historic wine is sweet: made mostly from Moscatel grown on the steep slopes of the Axarquia and from Pedro Ximenez, aged and poured straight from the barrel in old bodegas in the centre. It is the classic end to a tapas evening; see our Malaga food tour guide for where to taste it.
Ronda’s mountain wineries
An hour and a half inland, the Serrania de Ronda is Andalusia’s fast-rising wine area: cool mountain nights and small family estates make fresh whites and serious reds. Ronda itself, perched over its gorge, is one of Spain’s most dramatic towns, so a day trip with a wine tasting is a classic combination. Most organized trips from Malaga and the Costa del Sol include transport.
Our pick: the Ronda & Setenil from Malaga with Local Sweets & Wine (4.6 stars, 3,000+ reviews) is a full day with free time in Ronda and a wine tasting overlooking the Puente Nuevo on the guided option.
