Highlights

• Prepare mojo pícon red or green from scratch with professional instruction

What to expect

You'll start in the kitchen where the chef demonstrates blending fresh herbs and spices into mojo—the peppery, herbaceous sauce that defines Canarian cooking. Hands-on, you'll make your own batch to taste immediately with warm potatoes. Once done, you'll move into the winery's cellar for a guided walk-through of the production area, learning how the young wines are made. The tasting follows: three glasses paired with cured chorizo, sliced aged cheese on toasted bread, watercress butter, and spiced goat's cheese. It's unhurried, designed to show how local ingredients work together.
