Questions and answers
What is the Binissalem DO and what makes it special?
It is a denominación de origen for wines from around Binissalem, covered by rules from 1991; it covers about 600 hectares in five municipalities. The first vintage was harvested in 1990.
How many bodegas are there in the Binissalem DO?
The sources differ: 14 registered bodegas according to data from 2020, but only 11 using the DO brand, and a tourist guidebook gives about 11. The current number can be confirmed by the Consell Regulador.
When is the best time to visit the vineyards?
In September during the Festa des Vermar grape harvest festival in Binissalem, or in spring and autumn for tastings at the bodegas; in summer the heat makes visiting the vineyards difficult during the day.
How do I get there without a car?
By SFM train from Palma to Binissalem; during the Festa des Vermar the SFM adds trains on the night from Friday to Saturday.
