Binissalem wineries you can reach without a car

Four wineries of the Binissalem DO (Denominació d’Origen, the island’s protected wine region) sit within ten minutes of the house, and two are a short walk from Binissalem railway station, which is a 25-minute train from Palma. Here is how to taste them without anyone driving.

The wineries

Winery	Town	From the finca	Taste
Bodegas José L. Ferrer	Binissalem	8 min · 5 min walk from the station	The reference Manto Negro; the Reserva
Celler Tianna Negre	Binissalem	9 min	Modern reds, a serious rosé, the view
Bodega Ribas	Consell	7 min	The island’s oldest family winery, since 1711; Sió
Vins Nadal	Binissalem	8 min · 10 min walk from the station	Small, honest, the Albaflor range

Without a car

1. Train from Palma Intermodal to Binissalem: 25 minutes, every half hour.
2. Walk to Ferrer (5 minutes) for the 11:00 tour; book ahead.
3. Lunch in the village square.
4. Walk to Vins Nadal for the afternoon tasting.
5. Taxi back to the finca, 8 minutes.

Or stay put: the sommelier brings all four to the long table at six. The tasting at the finca.

When

Harvest is September; the Festa des Vermar grape-treading festival fills Binissalem the last two weeks of the month. Book the wineries by June if you want that.
