You can visit this beautiful place under your own steam if you have a car, take a taxi or go by bus and walk back to Agaete like we did. The guided tour is modest in length but shows you coffee, fruit and wine production. Your €8 also gives you a tasting of the local spring water and oranges, then a tasting of 4 wines accompanied by ample snacks including bread, cheese, coffee jam, local sausage etc and plenty of cake! And coffee after. All excellent quality and no hard sell of products, though they are so good you may well be tempted!…

This place has great potential. However, it is destroyed by poor organization and poor demonstration of what you can see. First of all, hardly anyone from the staff speaks English. It's hard to believe from in a tourist spot like this. In other countries, unthinkable. The guide briefly discusses and shows a coffee bush, oranges and a wine cellar. She also gives you a few drops of local water to taste. Actually, all this can be seen on the road and you don't need explanations for this. I would like to go anad see a coffee or orange orchard and try fruit straight from the tree. I would also like to try avocado but it didn't work out. After 10 minutes we were seated at a table so that we could taste local cheese and wine as well as coffee jam. I recommend jam with wine. Unfortunately, the service staff changed constantly, did not speak English and very accidentally served drinks and food to the tables. You had to be lucky or reprimand. Coffee is a real disaster. I am the owner of a coffee roaster and a machine which I saw as the roasting method can be called slightly archaic. The way it is roasted means that any grain will spill out, coffee will always be the same. It is a pity because in such a small plantation you can take care of very high quality. I do not recommend buying this coffee. Its high price does not reflect its low quality. About the chapel with Our Lady of Pine I will not speak so as not to offend anyone. 8 Euro is of course a low price but it is a waste of time. Good coffee and good wine can be enjoyed elsewhere. They are a lot of such places on Gran Canaria.…

We visited today and completed the tour for 8euros - lots of information about process to produce coffee and wine as well as the many fruits grown and a potted history about Canarian dogs- finished off with some wine, cheese, coffee and cake to taste.It was interesting and delivered by friendly staff, passionate about the bodego and it's productions. No hard sell here though you will want to buy - it was relaxing, welcoming and I'd recommend a visit - I'd definitely go again ♥️…
