Locals often enjoy wines from the Binissalem region, which is celebrated for its native grape varieties like Manto Negro and Callet. These produce reds with vibrant fruitiness and earthy undertones, perfectly complementing Mallorcan dishes such as tumbet or sobrassada. Visiting a vineyard along the Ma-13, you can find wine estates offering tastings that showcase the island’s winemaking heritage firsthand.
Beyond wine, Hierbas is a popular herbal liqueur distilled by local artisans, often sipped as a digestif after meals. Palo, made from burnt sugar and herbs, carries a bittersweet flavor and is sometimes enjoyed with an ice cube to balance its intensity. Both reflect the island’s centuries-old traditions and local ingredients. Sampling these beverages in a town like Sóller or Palma’s old quarter provides a true taste of the island’s distinct culture and flavors.
