February in Mallorca: What's On & Weather

This family-run winery is located between Muro and Can Picafort, neighbouring the S'Albufera nature reserve. There are very few vineyards in this area so these wines really stand out.

Located near Santa María del Camí, the Macià Batle vineyard has been well-versed in the art of wine making since 1856 when they began making wines with passion. A new generation of grape growers and oenologists are working in an effort to create excellent quality modern wines using select traditional Mallorcan vines Manto Negro, Callet and Prensal. Having adopted modern winemaking techniques in the 21st century and reinforced by dozens of international awards in the last 10 years, this bodega continues to produce some of the island’s finest wines. 

Founded in 1932 by Miquel Nadal, the winery is nowadays fully dedicated to the sustainable wine production under two brands: Albaflor and 110, both protected by the Appellation Binissalem and the Geographical Indication Regional Wine Mallorca.

This winery was founded in 1931 and has 92 acres of land planted with native vines. The varieties include black Manto Negro, Callet, Moll, Macabeo & Parellada, some of which are blended with better-known varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. They offer tours of the winery including detailed explanations about the history of the winery and the wine making processes, as well as a tasting of wines and typical products of the Balearic Islands. Longer tours also available for groups. 

The vineyard is located to the south of Mallorca, close to the coast and Cap Blanc and Sa Torre. The dry climate here produces a low yield high quality wine. A big part of the vineyard is comprised of the Cabernet Sauvignon variety, followed by Merlot, Syrah and Chardonnay. In addition, they have a half hectare of Callet, a red variety indigenous to the island, and 1.5 hectares of the native white varieties Premsal Blanc and Giro Ros.

First established in 1912 and located on Mallorca’s eastern side just above the pretty central town of Petra, Bodega Miquel Oliver incorporates modern culture with the local rustic surroundings. This family-owned business offers four types of private wine tour, ensuring there’s something to cater to every client. Individual wines are produced in this family-run estate, winning plenty of awards along the way. 

Palma is a really bike friendly city. The giveaway is the prominent red cycle route running all along the Paseo Maritimo and through the city centre. The weather is perfect for it too. Despite the obvious benefits of urban exploration on two wheels, Palma on Bike was my first experience of cycling in the capital. 

An easy ride if you are used to road biking and at 44km this route could be a good challenge for a beginner!

An easy route more suited to someone with a bit of road cycling experience due to the nature of the hills and busy roads.

An intermediate route for those used to climbing steeper sections of road on a bike, with stunning views of the coastline.

22km point to point but a longer day out at 44km if you do the return journey by bike instead of catching the bus.

On Saturday we hired bikes and set off on a hot afternoon to explore the beaches of Palma Bay. A shoreline cycle path runs from the northern end of Palma docks all the way to the resort S’Arenal in the south.
