Lush laurel forests, breathtaking ravines, a mild climate all year round, charming villages and a touch of magic hard to find anywhere else in the world makes La Gomera, in the Canary Islands, a different place where tourists can enjoy a unique experience. This little island situated in the Atlantic Ocean has maintained throughout its history an indescribable landscape, dominated by the majestic laurel that its inhabitants have taken care with love and dedication, as UNESCO has recently certified through the declaration of La Gomera as a World Biosphere Reserve. After millions of years, the laurel forest of La Gomera has barely suffered evolutionary transformations. So when travellers stroll among the vegetation feel that they are walking through the woods that covered Europe millions of years ago.

Although both red and white young wines are made, most of the wine is produced from white grapes. And there is one […]
