If you are planning a stay around the old town, explore our <a href=\"https:\/\/pollensina.com\/villas-to-rent-pollensa\/\">villas to rent in Pollensa<\/a>; for a coastal base, see our <a href=\"https:\/\/pollensina.com\/?page_id=110412\">Puerto Pollensa villas<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Mallorca has been making wine since the Romans, but the past two decades have transformed the island from a curiosity into one of the Mediterranean&#8217;s most exciting small wine regions. Native grapes you will find almost nowhere else \u2014 Prensal Blanc and Gir\u00f3 Ros for whites, Callet and Mantonegro for reds \u2014 grow alongside international varieties, and a new generation of winemakers has brought real ambition to old family land.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Best of all for guests staying in Pollensa: some of the loveliest estates on the island are on your doorstep. Here are four we recommend, each different in scale and spirit, with visiting arrangements that vary by estate. Check each winery&#8217;s current opening and booking details before setting out.<\/p>\n\n  <figure class=\"pns-figure\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/pollensina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/wine_tasting_mallorca.jpg\" alt=\"Wine tasting in north Mallorca, glasses of local wine among the vines\"\/>\n    <figcaption>Tasting the local estates, north Mallorca.<\/figcaption>\n  <\/figure>\n\n  <h3>Can Axartell<\/h3>\n  <div class=\"pns-meta\">\n    <span><strong>Where<\/strong> Old Pollensa\u2013Campanet road<\/span>\n    <span><strong>Style<\/strong> Modern gravity-flow winery on a historic estate<\/span>\n    <span><strong>Visit<\/strong> Book cellar tours; small tastings at the winery shop need no reservation<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n  <p>The showpiece of northern Mallorcan wine. On a centuries-old estate in the hills south of Pollensa, Can Axartell built its winery down into the hillside so that the grapes move through the entire process by gravity alone \u2014 no pumps, minimal intervention, maximum gentleness. The result is a cellar as beautiful as any on the island and a range of wines, from crisp ros\u00e9 to serious barrel-aged reds, that has put the north firmly on Mallorca&#8217;s wine map. The tour of the terraced vineyards and the subterranean cellar is worth booking even if you think you are not a &#8220;winery tour&#8221; person.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>Mortitx<\/h3>\n  <div class=\"pns-meta\">\n    <span><strong>Where<\/strong> Ma-10 mountain road, between Pollensa and Lluc<\/span>\n    <span><strong>Style<\/strong> High-altitude mountain vineyard<\/span>\n    <span><strong>Visit<\/strong> By arrangement \u2014 combine with a Tramuntana day<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n  <p>Vineyards are not supposed to exist here. Mortitx farms a pocket of vines high in the Serra de Tramuntana, on the wild plateau between Pollensa and Lluc, surrounded by crags, sea mists and grazing sheep. The altitude and the sea air give the wines a freshness and tension quite unlike anything grown on the plain, and the setting \u2014 reached along the spectacular Ma-10 mountain road \u2014 is pure drama. Pair a visit with the drive to Lluc Monastery or a walk in the surrounding mountains and you have one of the great days out in the north.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>Can Vidalet<\/h3>\n  <div class=\"pns-meta\">\n    <span><strong>Where<\/strong> Pollensa\u2013Alc\u00fadia road<\/span>\n    <span><strong>Style<\/strong> Family estate between the bays<\/span>\n    <span><strong>Visit<\/strong> Tastings among the vines, minutes from the villa<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n  <p>The closest of the four to most of our villas, Can Vidalet sits in open country between Pollensa and Alc\u00fadia, its neat rows of vines running toward the silhouette of the Tramuntana. The estate is best known for its aromatic whites and ros\u00e9s \u2014 exactly what you want cold on a villa terrace in July \u2014 alongside well-made reds, and a tasting here has an easy, unhurried feel: this is a working family property, not a visitor attraction. Stop in on the way back from the beach, taste through the range, and leave with a boot full of bottles.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>Bodegas Xaloc<\/h3>\n  <div class=\"pns-meta\">\n    <span><strong>Where<\/strong> Hills by Pollensa golf course<\/span>\n    <span><strong>Style<\/strong> Tiny estate, private tastings with the winemaker<\/span>\n    <span><strong>Visit<\/strong> Strictly by prior arrangement<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n  <p>Named after the warm south-easterly wind that crosses its slopes, Xaloc is northern Mallorca at its most intimate: a few hectares of vines in the quiet hills by the Pollensa golf course, walled in dry stone and producing only a small number of bottles each year. There is no visitor centre and no tour bus \u2014 tastings are private, arranged in advance, and hosted personally in the middle of the vineyard. The ros\u00e9 has a devoted following, the estate&#8217;s olive oil is a lovely thing to take home, and the experience of tasting with the person who made the wine is one no larger winery can match.<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"pns-note\">Visiting arrangements vary. Can Axartell offers small tastings at its winery shop without a reservation during opening hours; book a full cellar tour separately. Check directly with the other estates for current tasting availability. Ask us and we will book your visits, arrange a driver for the day, or put together a full wine route \u2014 including, for the dedicated, a day among the historic cellars of the Binissalem wine country, forty minutes south.<\/div>\n\n  <h3>Mallorcan wine for your villa<\/h3>\n  <p>You do not need to leave the house to drink well. Every good shop in Pollensa carries the local estates, and we are happy to have a case waiting for your arrival \u2014 a crisp island white for the pool, a ros\u00e9 for lunch, a structured red for the last long dinners on the terrace. Tell us what you like and we will choose accordingly; or pair the wines with a private chef evening and let the table do the travelling.<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"pns-close\">\n    <h3>Taste the north with us<\/h3>\n    <p>Winery bookings, drivers, a sommelier-led tasting at your villa, or simply a well-chosen case in the fridge when you walk through the door \u2014 wine is one of the easiest pleasures for us to arrange.<\/p>\n    <p><a href=\"https:\/\/pollensina.com\/villa-rental\/agata-pollensa-mallorca\/\">Explore Finca Agata near Pollensa<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/pollensina.com\/contact\/\">ask us to plan your wine route<\/a>.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n<\/article>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entdecken Sie vier ausgew\u00e4hlte Weing\u00fcter im Norden Mallorcas \u2013 mit Weinproben, Kellerf\u00fchrungen und pers\u00f6nlichen Empfehlungen rund um Pollensa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":110649,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-110648","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pollensina.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110648","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pollensina.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pollensina.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pollensina.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pollensina.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110648"}],"version-history":[{"count":34,"href":"https:\/\/pollensina.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110648\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":111135,"href":"https:\/\/pollensina.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110648\/revisions\/111135"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pollensina.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/110649"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pollensina.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110648"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pollensina.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110648"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pollensina.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110648"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
