El Sauzal is a town on the north coast of Tenerife that holds two wine sites worth the drive: the Casa del Vino, a 17th-century hacienda with a wine museum, and the Bodegas Monje winery, whose vineyard sits at about 500 m on dry lava (Tenerife tourist board, read 7 November 2026). Entry to the Casa del Vino is free, and the winery runs three guided tours a day.
