The essence of the island poured into a glass
Sometimes, the most profound way to understand a place is to taste it. And Mallorca offers a feast of stories waiting to be savoured. Here, every bite and every sip becomes a reflection of the island’s heritage. Local treasures like wine and cheese invite you to journey through the landscapes that shaped them, the hands that craft them, and the time that transforms them into something truly exceptional.
Small pleasures, rich in flavour, encouraging you to pause, indulge slowly, and discover the island through its soil and traditions. But above all, they invite you to connect with Mallorca in a deeply personal way. It’s a philosophy that defines the spirit of Zafiro Hotels, and one that comes to life through experiences like the sensory wine tastings at Zafiro Palace Andratx.

Flavours that reflect the history of the island
Mallorca boasts a rich culinary heritage, where wine and cheese hold a central place—an undeniable reflection of the island’s landscape and culture. It’s a legacy we continue to savour today, thanks to those who craft these products with unwavering passion and respect for time-honoured traditions.
Zafiro Palace Andratx celebrates this heritage through sensory tastings that invite guests to connect with the island’s most authentic essence. An experience that blends discovery, pleasure and a genuine bond with the environment. But above all, it’s a distinctive and unforgettable journey.

From the silkiest and most delicate to the boldest and most mature, each variety carries with it a story of place, time, and tradition—a flavourful glimpse into Mallorca’s soul.
During this sensory journey, the nuances of wine are uncovered, the stories behind each label come to life, and the way artisan cheeses elevate the aromas and flavours of every glass is revealed. Together, they give rise to pairings that surprise with their harmony and depth of character.

The secrets of the Zafiro Palace Andratx wine cellar
At Zafiro Palace Andratx, the passion for wine extends far beyond the tasting room. Its wine cellar showcases a meticulously curated selection that reflects both the viticultural richness of Mallorca and the most distinguished wine regions across the globe.
Among its leading protagonists, local wines take centre stage, with denominations such as Pla i Llevant, Vi de la Terra Mallorca and Binissalem—crafted by wineries devoted to native grape varieties and aromas that embody the Mediterranean spirit.
These are complemented by some of the most acclaimed names on the national scene: Priorat, Ribera del Duero, Rueda, Toro, Somontano, La Rioja, Penedès…, offering a spectrum that ranges from bold, full-bodied reds to crisp, aromatic whites.
Beyond Spain’s borders, the cellar also features prestigious international labels—from the elegant Italian reds of Chianti and Lombardy to the refined French Burgundy and Rhone, and the intense character of Australia’s Barossa Valley to the layered complexity of Argentina’s Uco Valley.
This exceptional collection, with over a hundred wines, transforms every tasting or dinner into a sensory journey across landscapes and cultures. All with the signature quality and attention to detail that defines the Zafiro Hotels experience.
