Sunlit Sips in Palma’s Orangerie: Douro Wines Paired with Mallorcan Tapas.
Settle into a shaded Orangerie or a sunny garden in Palma for a tightly focused tasting that showcases wines from a premium Douro vineyard. Over roughly 90 minutes you’ll taste a lineup that includes two Douro whites, a rosé, two distinct reds and a white or tawny port, all accompanied by a Mallorcan tapas plate of local cheeses, Spanish cured ham, crackers and homemade jams; the team offers tasting notes and provenance for each pour, and guests may remain afterwards to order additional wines and tapas at extra cost.
