Looking for wine tasting and winery tours near Benidorm? We spent a week soaking up the sun and exploring leafy vineyards, and we’re sharing our favourites below.

Looking for the best Benidorm wine tasting experiences? After spending a week in the sun-drenched Costa Blanca resort, I’ve compiled a guide of the best vineyards, historic bodegas, and award-winning wines for you to visit this summer.
With its lush, leafy vineyards, this province (Alicante) offers a wide range of wine-tasting day trips that are perfect for Benidorm travellers looking to explore beyond the town’s beaches and boujee eateries.
One of Spain’s most underrated wine regions, Costa Blanca is something of an underdog when it comes to Spanish wine - you could say that vineyards in this region are often overshadowed by their more famous counterparts, like Rioja and Montsant.
Yet having spent a sunny day in one of the area’s best wineries, I can confirm: the wine produced in Costa Blanca is exceptional!
The wineries near Benidorm are part of the Alicante Wine Route (Ruta del Vino de Alicante), an official wine tourism trail connecting 20+ wineries across the region.
In this guide, you’ll find the best wineries and vineyards near Benidorm. Each offers immersive wine tasting tours, guided vineyard trips, and the chance to sample the local grapes that make this region so special.
Ready to sample some local wine? Here are my top places to go wine tasting near Benidorm.
Quick Guide: Benidorm Wine Tasting
These are our favourite Benidorm vineyards and wine tasting tours; you’ll find all the details on cost and how to get there below!
Bodegas Enrique Mendoza is the closest and most refined winery to Benidorm, just 15 minutes away, offering tastings with gourmet tapas.
Bodegas Xaló and Riko in the Vall de Pop are excellent for sweet Moscatel wines and rustic, authentic vineyard tours.
Bodegas Bocopa in Petrer provides a polished, larger-scale experience with award-winning whites and reds.
Celler La Muntanya focuses on sustainability and rare native grapes — ideal for wine enthusiasts looking for something unique.
Getting around Benidorm’s wineries
While Benidorm’s best wineries are easily accessible from the resort, there’s little public transport in the area. Having your own car is the best way to get around (we use Discover Cars for our car hire in Spain), but for that to work, you’ll also need a designated driver.
Now, if everyone in your group wants to participate in the wine tasting, a winery tour that includes transport and entry tickets is by far the best option.
Most tours leave from neighbouring Alicante, and you can take the tram from Benidorm to Alicante for around €5 return. The journey takes just over an hour, so factor that into your plans.
Although we only had the chance to visit one winery, I saved a few different experiences that I feel would be worth carving time out for:
Wine tour from Benidorm: the closest option, includes winery entry, tasting and tapas.
Countryside wine tour from Alicante: countryside tour, bodega entry, and tasting.
Historic wine tour from Alicante: historic wine tour, winery entry, tasting, and snacks.
Best Benidorm Wine Tasting Tours and Wineries
These are our favourite wine tasting tours and vineyards closest to Benidorm: boutique wineries producing everything from bold Monastrell reds to refreshing Moscatel whites.

We spent a gorgeous, sun-drenched afternoon at Bodegas Enrique Mendoza and it was one of the highlights of our entire trip. I cannot rave more about this experience with a local winery, and it’s a wonderful thing to do after a few days in Benidorm!
You’ll get an understanding of how wine is made, a tour of the leafy vineyard and manicured gardens, and a peek into the warehouse.
We were also part of a small group, which I appreciated, and throughout the tour our expert guide gave us insight into culture and history, before we tasted seven wines with tapas. All were delicious.
All the photos in this post are from Bodegas Enrique Mendoza. This charming bodega has one of the most impressive exteriors, and as you pass through the courtyard, it greets you with a “wow” factor.
