Entry to the winery is free, tastings typically cost about €8–30 depending on flight size; no regular free days and most tourist passes exclude tastings, so book a smaller flight or mid-afternoon slot to save money.

About
Fatos rápidos: Low, gnarly vines hugged to volcanic ground make tiny, concentrated grapes, so the whites bite with bright acid and the dessert wines glow amber and syrupy. A cooperative cellar brings grapes from more than 1,200 family plots, then pours relaxed tasting flights that pair perfectly with salty cheese and sun on your skin.
Destaques: You can taste a dozen vintages of the local sun-dried sweet wine, including bottles aged over 20 years that smell of dried apricot, caramel and roasted honey. A harvest-time practice sees about 300 families clip tiny clay tags with surnames to the low vines, a tactile tradition that helps pickers find parcels by feel during the frenetic September squeeze.
Insider tips
- Reserve a tasting online and request a front-terrace table for the caldera view.
- Arrive 60–90 minutes before sunset for the best light and fewer crowds, sunset tastings often sell out.
- Wear sunscreen and a light jacket, wind can pick up on the exposed terrace.
- Choose a smaller tasting flight to save money and share a local cheese plate to taste more wines without extra flights.
