Wine Tasting in Palma: Best Wine Bars and Mallorca Wines

Mallorca has a long winemaking tradition, and Palma is the best place on the island to taste it without a car. Most of the city’s wine bars sit within a few streets of each other in the Old Town, and the lists in many of them lean heavily on island producers and native grapes such as Manto Negro and Prensal Blanc. Wine is also a natural start to a night out, and our Palma nightlife guide picks up where the wine bars close.

Casa Roca is a wine hotel in the heart of the Palma Old Town, and Mallorcan wine is part of every stay here, from the wine machines in the guest lobby to the tastings in our Tasting Room. Our team recommends the same handful of wine bars to guests every week, and the island’s wineries are close enough to Palma for a full Mallorca wine tasting day by train.

Wine Tasting in Palma at Casa Roca, the Old Town Wine Hotel

Casa Roca is a dedicated wine hotel, with a collection of more than 40 local labels available to try by the glass. We work with island winemakers who are reinventing Mallorcan wine, and several of them host winemaker-led sessions in our Tasting Room during the year. Guests receive a personal Wine Pass for the wine machines, so a Callet from Pla i Llevant and a Prensal Blanc from Binissalem can be tasted side by side before dinner, with our signature tapas alongside.

For a guided wine tasting in Palma, our Mallorcan Wine Tasting with Tapas runs every afternoon in the Tasting Room. It lasts 90 minutes, is for adults only and is priced from €49 per person (usually €59). The wines come from Tomeu Llabrés, a fifth-generation island winemaker who works with island grapes including Callet and Giró, and each one is paired with a Mallorcan tapa. Bottles from the tasting can be bought afterwards, and our team can suggest which Old Town wine bars to try next.

Best Wine Bars in Palma Old Town

The best wine bars in Palma Old Town fall into two small clusters. The first runs along Carrer de Sant Jaume, a narrow street off the top of the Passeig des Born, which has three of the city’s most wine-focused addresses within a few doors of each other. The second is around La Llotja and Carrer de l’Argenteria, where older bodegas and natural wine bars sit side by side. Most open in the early evening and are quiet enough before 8pm to talk to the staff about what is open by the glass.

1. Petit La Sang, a Natural Wine Bar in Palma Old Town

Petit La Sang is the Old Town sister of Bar La Sang, Palma’s best-known natural wine bar, and it serves nothing but wine. The small room at Carrer de Sant Jaume 12 is run by Lukas, Nicola and David, who pour a changing selection of labels, each served in the right glass, with plates of local cheese and charcuterie on the side.

It opens daily from 7pm until midnight, which makes it an easy first stop before dinner. It is a small room, so arriving close to opening time is the best way to get a seat, and asking for Mallorcan producers is an easy way into the list.

2. Wine Lovers Sant Jaume, a Wine Bar and Shop in Palma

A few doors down on Carrer de Sant Jaume, Wine Lovers is part wine bar and part bottle shop, with Mallorcan, Spanish and international wines by the glass or to take away. It is a relaxed place for an early glass in the late afternoon, and a practical one if you want to leave Palma with a few bottles you have already tasted.

Wine Lovers opens from 4.30pm, until 9pm Monday to Thursday and 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays. The shop side makes it a good last stop on the way back to your hotel on the final evening of a trip.

3. La Bodeguilla, a Classic Palma Wine Bar Since 1986

La Bodeguilla has been on Carrer de Sant Jaume since 1986 and has one of the longest wine lists in the city, with more than 300 Spanish and international wines and a good selection by the glass. It works as both a tapas bar and a restaurant, so it is the easiest choice on the street if you want wine and a full meal in the same place.

It is open every day from 1pm to 11pm, which makes it a good choice for a wine-focused lunch in the Old Town. For a wine tasting in Palma at your own pace, order a few Mallorcan wines by the glass with the tapas and compare them across the meal.

4. La Viniloteca, Natural Wine and Records in Palma

La Viniloteca combines a natural wine bar with a record shop, on Carrer de l’Argenteria near La Llotja, with a second entrance on Carrer de la Vidrieria. The wines are natural and low-intervention bottles from Mallorca and mainland Spain, served with small snacks, and there is a terrace outside for warm evenings.

It opens daily from 6pm to 10.30pm. The mix of music and wine gives it a younger feel than the traditional bodegas nearby, and it is the place to try the skin-contact and unfiltered wines that a growing number of island producers now make.

5. Bodega Ca’n Rigo, a Traditional Palma Wine Bar

Bodega Ca’n Rigo on Carrer de Sant Feliu, between La Llotja and the Born, is a traditional bodega serving Mallorcan and Spanish tapas with a list of local wines. It is the closest thing in this part of the Old Town to the old neighbourhood wine bar, and a good contrast to the newer natural wine places around it.

It opens from 9am to 11.30pm on weekdays and from 6pm to midnight on Saturdays, and is closed on Sundays. Order the local wine of the house with a plate of tapas for the simplest introduction to what Mallorca drinks every day.

6. LoDivino, a Mallorcan Wine and Tapas Bar in Palma

LoDivino is a small gourmet tapas and wine bar on Carrer del Carme, near La Rambla on the northern edge of the Old Town, run by its owner Dino. The wine list leans noticeably towards Mallorcan and local producers, which makes it one of the most useful bars in Palma for tasting the island’s own wines.

It opens in the evening from Tuesday to Saturday, from 7pm until around 11pm, and is closed on Sundays and Mondays. Ask for a comparison of Manto Negro and Callet from different wineries, which is the quickest way to understand how varied the island’s reds can be.

7. Fría Sophía, a Wine and Champagne Bar in Palma

Fría Sophía is a wine and champagne bar on Plaça de la Quartera, a small square on the eastern side of the Old Town. It pours a selection of wines and champagne with food, and its rooms can also be booked for private events for up to 100 people.

It suits a celebration drink more than a deep dive into Mallorcan wine, and the square is a quieter setting than the busy streets around La Llotja. Opening hours vary through the week, so check before you go.

Wine Bars in Palma Beyond the Old Town

Some of the most respected wine bars in Palma sit just outside the Old Town, in Santa Catalina to the west and the Nord district to the north. Both areas are an easy walk or a short taxi from the centre, and they are where you will find the bars that island winemakers themselves drink in.

8. Bar La Sang, Palma’s Natural Wine Bar

Bar La Sang on Carrer d’Antoni Frontera is Palma’s reference point for natural wine: a bar and bottle shop that has become a meeting place for Mallorca’s small independent winemakers. In 2026 it received the Star Wine List Special Jury Prize for Spain, and the list is one of the most interesting in the Balearics, with Mallorcan charcuterie to go with it.

It opens Tuesday to Saturday from 6pm to 11.30pm. It sits in the Nord district, north of Plaça d’Espanya, and if you can only get to one wine bar outside the Old Town, this is the one to choose.

9. SENSO, Wine Tasting in Santa Catalina, Palma

SENSO on Carrer de Soler in Santa Catalina is a tasting-menu restaurant that also welcomes walk-ins for a glass or bottle of wine. It features five Mallorcan wineries, 4Kilos, Ca Sa Padrina, Ca’n Verdura, Mesquida Mora and Soca-Rel, and runs tastings with the winemakers themselves as part of a winery-of-the-month programme.

It opens Tuesday to Saturday from 7pm to midnight, and a wine pairing with the tasting menu costs €50. It is the best option in the city for meeting the people who make Mallorcan wine rather than only drinking it.

10. The Wine Side and Idilio, Wine Restaurants in Palma

The Wine Side, Vins i Tapes, on Passeig de Mallorca, moved to Palma from Port d’Alcúdia and focuses on low-intervention local and Spanish wines, with a terrace and a private room. Idilio Cocina y Vino on Carrer d’Antoni Frontera is a neighbourhood wine restaurant run by a chef and a sommelier, opened in 2024, with more than 150 wines on its list.

Both are restaurants first, so they suit an evening built around dinner rather than a quick glass. Idilio opens Tuesday to Saturday from 7pm to 11pm, and The Wine Side serves lunch and dinner, with booking recommended for both. For more places to eat, see our guide to the best restaurants in Palma.

Mallorca Wine Regions: DO Binissalem, Pla i Llevant and Vi de la Terra

Mallorca wine is grouped under three labels, and knowing them makes any wine list in Palma easier to read. DO Binissalem, recognised in 1990-91, was the island’s first quality wine region and covers five villages in the centre of the island just north-east of Palma. DO Pla i Llevant, created in 1999, covers the flat plain and the east of the island. Everything else grown on Mallorca can be sold as Vi de la Terra Mallorca, a protected label that gives winemakers more freedom over grapes and style.

Mallorca wine label	Area	Size	What to expect
DO Binissalem	Santa Maria del Camí, Consell, Binissalem, Santa Eugènia and Sencelles	13 wineries, about 600 ha of vines	Structured reds with at least 30% Manto Negro; fresh whites based on Prensal Blanc
DO Pla i Llevant	19 municipalities across central and eastern Mallorca	12 wineries, 513 ha	Reds built around Callet, plus a wide mix of international grapes
Vi de la Terra Mallorca	The whole island	Around 70 to 80 wineries, 1,840 ha	The widest range of styles, from native grapes to natural wines

In practice, many of the most exciting bottles poured in Palma’s wine bars carry the Vi de la Terra label rather than a DO. Small producers often choose it because it allows grapes and blends the DO rules do not, which is why a wine bar list can feel very different from a supermarket shelf of Mallorcan wine.

Mallorcan Wine Grapes to Taste in Palma

Mallorcan wine has a character of its own because of a handful of native grapes that are grown almost nowhere else. Manto Negro is the main red grape of the island, with aromas of ripe fruit, pomegranate and carob, and it gives Binissalem reds their backbone. Callet ripens more gently and brings fruit, floral and vegetal notes, and is the signature red of Pla i Llevant. Gorgollassa, a late-ripening red with fresh fruit, spice and balsamic notes, is used in smaller amounts in blends.

Among the whites, Prensal Blanc, also called Moll, gives freshness and aromas of white fruit, apple, quince and aniseed, and makes up at least half of every white DO Binissalem wine. Giró Ros is rarer, with aromas of stone fruit, tropical fruit and honey. A good way to taste all five in one evening is to ask a wine bar for a flight of island grapes by the glass, or to book a guided tasting where the wines are chosen to show the differences.

Stay at Casa Roca, Palma’s Old Town Wine Hotel

Casa Roca is a 175-year-old building in the Old Town, reimagined as a boutique wine hotel with suites, apartments and a three-bedroom penthouse. Evenings start with a glass from the wine machines in the guest lobby or in the Speakeasy bar, and the Old Town wine bars are a short walk from the front door.

Mallorca Wine Tasting Day Trips from Palma by Train

The DO Binissalem wineries lie along the train line from Palma to Inca, which makes a Mallorca wine tasting day possible without a car or a tour. Trains leave from the Estació Intermodal at Plaça d’Espanya and stop at Santa Maria, Alaró-Consell and Binissalem, and the journey to Binissalem takes about half an hour. For other island trips by train and bus, see our guide to day trips from Palma de Mallorca.

1. Mallorca Wine Tasting at Macià Batle, Santa Maria del Camí

Macià Batle is about 20 minutes from Palma’s central station by train, just outside Santa Maria del Camí, and is one of the most visited wineries on the island. A visit with a tasting of five wines and local delicacies costs €28 per adult, and a tasting on its own costs €25. Tours run at 11am, 12pm, 1.30pm, 3pm and 4pm in several languages, including English and German.

The winery is closed on Sundays and public holidays, so plan a wine tasting trip from Palma for a weekday or a Saturday. Booking ahead is sensible in the harvest months of September and October.

2. Wine Tasting at Bodegas Ribas, Consell

Bodegas Ribas in Consell has made wine in the same family since 1711 and describes itself as the oldest winery in Mallorca. Its guided tour and tasting lasts two hours and costs €34, with four wines served with cocas, sobrassada, bread and olive oil, and a longer gourmet tour is available for €58.

The nearest station is Alaró-Consell on the same train line. It is the best choice for a Mallorca wine tasting with real history behind it, in a winery that has been handed down through ten generations.

3. Wine Tasting at José L. Ferrer, Binissalem

José L. Ferrer was founded in Binissalem in 1931 and is now run by the fourth generation of the family. Its vineyards have been certified organic since 2023, and its wines are a familiar sight on wine lists across Palma.

Binissalem is the last of the three wine villages on the train line from Palma, so it is easy to combine a visit with a walk through the village. Visit times and prices change through the year, so book directly with the winery before you travel.

Mallorca Wine Events in Palma and Binissalem

September is harvest month, and Binissalem celebrates it with the Festa des Vermar, the island’s grape harvest festival. The 2026 edition is the 60th and runs from 4 to 27 September, with a grape-treading contest, a wine fair and a parade of floats, and the train from Palma makes it an easy evening out.

In Palma itself, the Raïm Wine Fest brings Mallorcan wineries to the Parc de la Mar and Ses Voltes below the Cathedral. The 17th edition takes place on Saturday 24 October 2026 from noon until 1am, with 58 wineries taking part. Entry is free, and wine is served by the glass from €3 with a €5 deposit on the glass, which makes it the easiest way to taste dozens of Mallorcan wines in a single afternoon.
