Film fans searching to recreate the Hollywood film “Sideways” whilst taking a European holiday may want to think about staying in Mallorca apartments for rent. With plenty of vineyards situated on the Spanish island it is like reliving the 2004 movie in which two friends take a road trip through California's wine making regions that should end up as being a comparatively simple task.
A place budding wine tasters might wish to visit might be the Bodegas Pere Seda. Made up of more than 100 hectares of vineyards with the districts of Felanitx and Manacor, visitors should have little difficulty in locating a quantity of wine that suits their palette. Indeed, the Guium and Mossen signature wines are the brands produced here, while the latter is particularly right for consumption with red meat or spicy pasta. Meanwhile, the L'Arxiduc Rosat is produced using the Merlot and Tempranillo type of grape.
People visiting the wine tasting region of Mallorca have another vineyard you may also want to visit Macia Batl in Santa Maria del Cami. While set up as a winery since the middle of the 1800s, visitors will have a chance to sample wines which mix local grapes, for instance Manto Negro and Callet, with types in the fruit that are also found all over the world including Cabernet, Sauvignon and Merlot.
Stopping to visit this winery also allows you the chance to see some stunning artwork. While using labels on the bottles produced by different artists each year, the centre gives visitors the opportunity to see the gallery with examples of previous images used. Meanwhile, the Santa Catarina vineyard in Andratx also allows visitors to sample the different wines available, before purchasing a bottle or two of their favourite tipple to drink together in their chosen Mallorca apartments for rent.
Whether you choose to open the bottle inside the comfort of your exclusive holiday apartment or wait until they return home, your wine will definitely be the wonderful reminder of your time on this Mediterranean island. Clearly, visitors may not be able to delay uncorking a bottle until they get home. Also for people looking to relish their Mallorquin wine, a stay in a property with a heated pool might be the perfect way for them to wind down after a day out at the vineyards.
