The province of Malaga is an essential destination for lovers of wine culture. From the Serranía de Ronda to the Axarquía, through the Montes de Málaga, the North Region and the Costa del Sol Occidental, you will find wineries in which excellent wines are made.

One of the most peculiar areas is the Axarquía region, where wines are made under the designations of origin Málaga and Sierras de Málaga. Most of the wineries in this area organize tastings and guided tours through which it is possible to know the singularities of the wines of Malaga and how they are made.

The Axarquia vineyards are characterized by their steep terrain and steep slopes. They cultivate the Moscatel and Romé varieties, native to the area. One of the peculiarities is its harvest, one of the earliest in Europe. Many of them, in addition, have maintained the craft production processes, with manual collections. From the harvested grapes mostly white and sweet wines come out, although red wines are also made.
