What is the Wine Express tour in Mallorca, and how do I book a spot?

The Wine Express in Mallorca offers a charming way to explore the island's renowned Binissalem wine region without needing to drive yourself. It typically runs from Palma on weekends during the main wine season, providing round-trip travel on a vintage train through picturesque vineyards and countryside. Passengers can enjoy guided tastings of local varietals such as Manto Negro and Callet, paired with traditional Mallorcan snacks like pa amb oli and local cheese. The tour often includes visits to selected wineries where experts share insights into the winemaking history and techniques unique to the island.

Booking the Wine Express is best done well in advance, especially during festival periods like the Festa de l'Ametler in February when demand climbs. Tickets are available online through the official Mallorca tourism site and sometimes directly from the TIB public transport system, which arranges these excursions. Some packages include lunch or options to visit the quaint towns of Consell or Santa Maria del Camí. Because this tour travels along the historic Soller railway route before continuing into the countryside, it's a scenic and relaxed way to combine Mallorca’s culture, landscape, and wine without worrying about transport logistics on the winding Ma-13 roads.
