Before Tenerife became a popular destination known for its beaches and volcanic landscapes, it was inhabited by a mysterious people : the Guanches. They were the island’s first known inhabitants, probably of North African origin, who settled here several centuries before our era.

The history of wine in Tenerife dates back to the conquest of the island in the 15th century. Spanish and Portuguese settlers introduced vine cultivation, which quickly found ideal conditions on the volcanic slopes of the north.
