Alcúdia Vineyard Tour and Exclusive Wine-Tasting Experience

During this approximately one-hour experience, visitors explore a boutique vineyard and winery, learn how Mallorcan wine is produced and taste three wines accompanied by traditional local delicacies. It is an excellent activity for couples, groups of friends, food lovers and travellers looking for an authentic experience away from the busy coastline.

Where is the vineyard located?

The experience takes place at Pecat Vineyard, within the rural surroundings of Agroturismo Son Simó Vell near Alcúdia in northern Mallorca.

The official address is:

Pecat Vineyard
Carretera Palma–Alcúdia, kilometre 43.7
07400 Alcúdia
Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain

The estate is surrounded by vineyards, olive trees and open countryside. Although it is associated with Alcúdia, it is outside the historic centre, so visitors should not expect to reach it by walking from Alcúdia Old Town or Port d’Alcúdia.

The entrance is located near the Son Simó Vell sign. Follow the meeting and parking instructions supplied with your reservation because rural entrances can be easy to miss. Pecat’s official website lists visits from Monday to Friday between 10:30 and 14:30, but organised tour times depend on availability and must be booked in advance. Pecat Vineyard

What happens during the experience?

The tour normally lasts approximately one hour and includes a guided introduction to the vineyard and its small winemaking facilities.

Visitors can expect to learn about:

• The grape varieties cultivated on the estate
• The differences between grapes used for white, rosé and red wines
• Mallorca’s climate and soil
• The grape harvest
• Fermentation and wine production
• Barrel ageing
• The care involved in creating limited-production wines
• The history and character of Pecat wine

The visit concludes with a curated tasting of three wines produced by the estate. These may include white, rosé and red selections, depending on current availability.

The wines are accompanied by Mallorcan delicacies that may include traditional biscuits or crackers, sobrasada, pâtés and olive oil from the estate’s own grove. Dietary alternatives should be requested before the visit rather than on arrival.

The experience is generally conducted in English or Spanish. Group sizes are limited, which allows visitors to ask questions and receive more personal attention.

How do you reach the vineyard locally?

From Alcúdia Old Town

Pecat Vineyard is a short drive from Alcúdia Old Town. A taxi or rental car is the most convenient option. Allow approximately 10–15 minutes, depending on traffic and your starting point.

From Port d’Alcúdia

The journey from Port d’Alcúdia normally takes approximately 15–20 minutes by car or taxi.

From Playa de Muro

Allow approximately 20–25 minutes by car or taxi. Travel times may be longer during the main summer season.

From Can Picafort

The drive from Can Picafort usually takes approximately 20–30 minutes, depending on traffic and the selected route.

From Pollença and Port de Pollença

The vineyard is normally around 20–30 minutes away by car. A pre-booked taxi is advisable if you do not have a rental vehicle.

From Palma

The journey from Palma usually takes approximately 45–60 minutes by car. Follow the Ma-13 motorway towards Alcúdia before continuing to kilometre 43.7 on the Palma–Alcúdia road.

Public transport

Public buses connect Palma, Alcúdia, Port d’Alcúdia, Playa de Muro and Can Picafort. However, the vineyard is in a rural location and public transport may not stop directly outside the estate.

One practical option is to travel to Alcúdia by bus and complete the journey by taxi. Check current routes and schedules through the official TIB transport website.

Transportation is not normally included in the tour price. Confirm this before booking.

How do international visitors reach Alcúdia?

By air

Most international visitors arrive at Palma de Mallorca Airport, also called Son Sant Joan Airport or PMI. It is Mallorca’s main international airport and receives direct flights from many European cities.

From the airport, you can travel to Alcúdia by:

• Rental car
• Private airport transfer
• Taxi
• Airport bus followed by a taxi
• Pre-arranged shared transfer

Driving from Palma Airport to the vineyard normally takes approximately 45–60 minutes, depending on traffic.

The TIB A32 airport bus serves Alcúdia, Port d’Alcúdia, Playa de Muro and Can Picafort. Travellers using this service should get off at a suitable stop in Alcúdia and arrange a taxi for the remaining journey. Check the latest A32 timetable before travelling because schedules may vary by season.

By ferry

Passenger and vehicle ferries connect Mallorca with mainland Spanish ports such as Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Ferries also operate between Mallorca and other Balearic islands.

Port d’Alcúdia is the closest ferry terminal to the vineyard. Palma’s ferry terminal is farther away but provides additional routes. Visitors arriving with a vehicle can drive directly to the estate.

When is the best time to take the tour?

Spring: March to May

Spring is one of the best times to visit a Mallorcan vineyard. Temperatures are comfortable, the landscape is green and new growth is appearing on the vines.

This period is ideal for walking outdoors without the intense heat of summer. Morning and late-morning visits are particularly pleasant.

Summer: June to August

Summer brings bright skies and beautiful vineyard scenery, but temperatures can become very high. Choose a morning tour whenever possible, wear sun protection and drink enough water.

July and August are extremely busy across Mallorca, so reserve well in advance.

Harvest season: August to September

Late summer and early autumn can be fascinating because this is generally the grape-harvesting period. The exact timing changes each year according to the grape variety and weather.

Visitors may see increased activity around the vineyard and production area. However, harvest is also one of the busiest times for a winery, so certain areas or tour dates may be restricted.

Autumn: September to November

September and October often provide an excellent combination of warm weather, fewer tourists and harvest-related interest.

Later autumn is quieter, although rain becomes more likely.

Winter: December to February

Winter visits provide a quieter and more intimate experience. The vines will not be as visually impressive, but visitors can still learn about production, barrel ageing and the estate’s wines.

Tour availability may be more limited outside the main season, so advance confirmation is essential.

Best time of day

A late-morning visit is normally the most comfortable option. It avoids the strongest afternoon heat and allows enough time to enjoy the experience without rushing.

The winery’s published visiting hours are Monday to Friday from 10:30 to 14:30, but your booking confirmation should always take priority.

How much does the Alcúdia vineyard tour cost?

At the time of writing, the Alcúdia Vineyard Tour and Exclusive Wine-Tasting Experience is advertised from approximately €39.50–€40 per adult. Prices may vary according to the date, booking provider, group size, exchange rate and cancellation terms. Current experience example

The standard experience generally includes:

• An approximately one-hour guided visit
• A tour of the vineyard
• An introduction to the winery facilities
• A tasting of three Pecat wines
• Mallorcan food pairings
• Guidance in English or Spanish

The standard price may not include:

• Special dietary items not arranged in advance

Always check the final price and inclusions before making payment. Some listings advertise free cancellation when cancelled at least 24 hours before the scheduled starting time.

Who can participate?

The wine-tasting experience is intended for adults. Some current listings specify a minimum age of 18.

Younger visitors may not be permitted to participate, even if they do not drink alcohol. Families should confirm the operator’s policy before booking.

Visitors should also contact the provider in advance if they:

• Are pregnant
• Have food allergies
• Require vegetarian or vegan pairings
• Have limited mobility
• Use a wheelchair or walking aid
• Are travelling with a service animal
• Do not consume alcohol

A guest can still enjoy the educational vineyard visit without finishing every wine. Spitting cups may be available during a professional tasting, but this should be confirmed with the host.

What should you wear?

Vineyard tours are relaxed, but practical clothing is more appropriate than formal wear.

Recommended clothing

• Comfortable, breathable clothes
• Flat, closed shoes or supportive trainers
• Light trousers, a casual dress or smart shorts
• A hat during sunny weather
• Sunglasses
• Sunscreen
• A light jacket during spring or autumn
• A warmer layer during winter
• A waterproof jacket if rain is forecast

The terrain may include soil, gravel, grass and uneven paths. Wear shoes that provide good grip and that you do not mind getting slightly dusty.

Avoid wearing

• High heels
• Slippery sandals
• Flip-flops
• Heavy perfume or aftershave
• Very loose clothing that may catch on plants or equipment
• Valuable jewellery
• Clothing unsuitable for the weather
• White footwear that must remain perfectly clean

Strong perfume can interfere with your ability—and other guests’ ability—to appreciate the aroma of the wine.

Vineyard tour dos

• Reserve in advance because group sizes are limited.
• Check the exact meeting point before leaving your accommodation.
• Arrive 10–15 minutes early.
• Use the entrance and parking instructions supplied with your booking.
• Wear practical footwear.
• Tell the operator about dietary requirements in advance.
• Ask questions about the grapes, production and ageing process.
• Hold a wine glass by its stem where possible.
• Smell the wine before tasting it.
• Taste slowly and drink water between samples.
• Listen while the host explains each wine.
• Respect the vines, olive trees and agricultural equipment.
• Ask permission before photographing staff or production areas.
• Consider purchasing wine directly from the producer.
• Arrange safe transportation before drinking.
• Check airline and customs rules before taking bottles home internationally.

Vineyard tour don’ts

• Do not drink and drive.
• Do not arrive intoxicated.
• Do not pick grapes, leaves or olives without permission.
• Do not enter restricted production areas.
• Do not touch barrels, machinery or winemaking equipment.
• Do not smoke among the vines or near agricultural buildings.
• Do not wear overpowering perfume.
• Do not speak loudly while the guide is presenting.
• Do not criticise another guest’s wine preferences.
• Do not assume every wine sample must be finished.
• Do not bring outside food or alcohol without permission.
• Do not leave rubbish on the estate.
• Do not arrive late and expect the entire group to wait.
• Do not book a non-refundable taxi too close to the scheduled finishing time.
• Do not forget to disclose allergies or dietary restrictions.

Responsible wine tasting

Wine tasting is about flavour, aroma and culture—not consuming as much alcohol as possible.

Eat before the experience, drink water and pace yourself. If you are driving, the safest choice is not to drink. Arrange a taxi, private transfer or designated driver instead.

Spanish drink-driving limits and penalties can change, and even a small tasting may affect your ability to drive safely.

Photography and vineyard etiquette

Photography is usually welcomed in outdoor vineyard areas, but permission should be requested inside working production spaces. Avoid blocking paths or disturbing staff for photographs.

Drones should never be used without explicit permission. A vineyard is private property and may also be subject to flight restrictions.

Accessibility

The activity is described by some sellers as suitable for a range of fitness levels, but vineyards can contain gravel, slopes and uneven ground.

Anyone with reduced mobility should contact the provider before booking and ask about:

• Accessible parking
• Steps and slopes
• Wheelchair access
• Accessible toilets
• Seating during the tasting
• Distance covered on foot
• Alternative arrangements during the vineyard walk

• Food-pairing details
• Dietary alternatives
• Minimum age
• Group size

• Accessibility
