VISIT BODEGAS BORDOY ,DEGUSTACION 5 WINES, FINGER FOOD

Bodegas Bordoy gives you a close look at how Mallorcan wine moves from vine to bottle, then sits you down with five wines, local snacks, and a bottle to take home. The tour covers the vines, tanks, press, laboratory, and bottling line, so you see the working side of the bodega rather than only a polished tasting room.

I like the relaxed small-group feel and the warm, personal guiding from Alexandra and Elena. I also like the practical value: at $51 per person, you get the tour, five tastings, finger food, and a full bottle of Fermança white or rosé.

The main caution is the food. Cheese, ham, and sobrasada are included, but the spread is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians unless you contact the bodega before booking. You also need to drive to the winery and allow time to find the correct parking area.

Key points to know before booking

• See the working winery: Walk through the wine-making rooms, including steel tanks, the press, cold room, laboratory, and bottling equipment.
• Taste five wines: The tasting includes white, rosé, and red wines, giving you a broad sample rather than one narrow style.
• Take home a full bottle: Your gift is one bottle of Fermança white or Fermança rosé.
• Expect Mallorcan snacks: Finger food includes cheese, ham, and sobrasada.
• Choose your language and time: English is scheduled for 10 am, Spanish for 11 am, and German for noon.
• Allow extra time if you wish: The main visit lasts about 1 hour and 30 minutes, but you can remain during opening hours and order more wine by the glass or bottle.

A working bodega, not just a tasting counter

The best part of this experience is the way it connects the wine in your glass with the equipment that produces it. You start by walking along the vines, then move into the bodega’s production areas, known as the Sala de Elaboración.

This is where the wine is made. You see the stainless steel tanks, pressing machine, selection table, cold room, and laboratory. The route also includes the bottling machine, cleaning machine, and labeling machine. That list may sound technical, but it gives the tour some useful substance. You are not simply told that the winery makes wine. You can see the stages involved.

I appreciate this sort of visit because it helps you understand what a winery actually does between harvest and shipment. The selection table shows where grapes are assessed, while the tanks and cold room point to the need for careful temperature control. The laboratory is another reminder that wine production mixes farming with close monitoring and routine testing.

The exact amount of time spent in each room can vary, but the stated visit lasts 90 minutes. You should expect a guided walk rather than a long hike through the estate. The vines are part of the explanation, while the production rooms provide the main look behind the scenes.

Walking from the vines to the wine kitchen

The bodega calls its production area the wine kitchen, a friendly term for a place filled with practical machinery. You see where grapes are pressed, selected, stored, cleaned, bottled, and labeled. This makes the tour a good match for you if you like knowing how a product is made.

The guide explains the process from the first stages of handling the grapes through bottling and shipping. Alexandra is named as one of the guides who can explain the vines, wines, and production steps in detail. Elena also helps lead the experience, and both are described as inviting, professional, and easy to talk to.

That personal approach matters in a small winery. You can ask about the equipment, the wines, or the work involved in getting a bottle ready to leave the cellar. The group size may be small, which usually makes it easier to hear the guide and ask a question without turning the visit into a formal classroom.

The tour is available in English, Spanish, and German. The scheduled times are English at 10 am, Spanish at 11 am, and German at noon. Check the available date and time carefully when booking, since the language schedule is part of making the visit work for you.

Five wines across white, rosé, and red

The tasting is the heart of the visit. You sample five wines covering white, rosé, and red styles. That range gives you a better sense of the bodega’s output than a tasting focused on only one color.

You may find the tasting especially helpful if you are still learning what you like in Mallorcan wine. Comparing several styles side by side lets you notice differences in color, weight, aroma, and finish while the guide provides context. The experience is designed as a guided tasting, not simply five glasses placed in front of you.

The supplied details do not specify the exact labels or vintage served on your date. That is worth remembering if you are looking for one particular bottle. Wine selections can change, so consider the tasting a chance to sample the range available during your visit.

The setting also keeps the tasting connected to the tour. You have just seen the vines and production rooms, so the wine feels like the next part of the story. It is a simple format, but it works well: walk, learn, taste, eat, and decide what you would like to take home.

Sobrasada, ham, and cheese with the tasting

The finger food is not an afterthought. It includes cheese, ham, and sobrasada, a Mallorcan specialty made from seasoned pork. These foods suit a wine tasting because they give you something salty and substantial between samples.

The snacks also give the experience a local touch. You are not being served a generic plate designed only to fill space. Sobrasada is strongly associated with Mallorca, and trying it with the wines adds a bit of place to the tasting.

You should plan around the food restrictions. The included spread is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians. If you need an alternative, contact Bodegas Bordoy before booking rather than assuming a replacement will be available on arrival.

There is no indication that a full meal is included. Think of the food as a tasting accompaniment, enough to make the wine session more comfortable but not a substitute for lunch. If you are visiting around midday, you may want to arrange another meal before or after the bodega.

The Fermança bottle adds real value

At $51 per person, the take-home bottle is an important part of the value. You receive a bottle of Fermança white or Fermança rosé as a gift, and the experience information also notes an opener. The bottle turns a short activity into something you can continue enjoying after leaving the winery.

You do not appear to choose from a large list of take-home bottles. The stated gift is Fermança blanco or Fermança rosado, so you should expect the choice to be between white and rosé. If you prefer red, the five-wine tasting still includes red wine, but the complimentary bottle is listed as white or rosé.

I like this arrangement because it is more useful than a small souvenir glass or a token sample. You get a full bottle that fits easily into a dinner later in your trip, assuming you can carry it safely. It also gives you a clear reminder of the bodega once you are back home.

The value depends partly on how much you enjoy wine and how you use the visit. Someone who only wants a quick drink may find 90 minutes and five tastings more than needed. If you enjoy food, wine, and production tours, the bottle helps make the $51 price feel reasonable.

A short Qi Gong addition

Qi Gong is included for five to 15 minutes. This is an unusual extra for a winery visit, and the information does not describe the exact exercises or when they take place.

You should treat it as a brief pause within the experience rather than the main reason to book. It may add a calm, gentle change of pace before or after the tasting, but the winery tour and wine sampling remain the central activities.

If Qi Gong is important to you, ask the bodega about the timing when you arrive. The listed duration is flexible, so the session may not be identical on every visit.

Timing, parking, and getting to Llucmajor

Bodegas Bordoy is at Camí de Muntanya s/n, near the Hyatt Zoëtry Mallorca in Llucmajor. The clearest driving advice is to enter Bodegas Bordoy directly into Google Maps, then continue all the way through to the parking lot.

Do not stop at the first point that seems to match the address. The directions specifically tell you to drive through to the parking area. Arrive 15 minutes before your appointment, especially if you are unfamiliar with the road or are coming from another part of Mallorca.

The activity returns to the same meeting point, so you do not need to arrange a separate pickup location. Transportation to and from the bodega is not listed as included. You should plan to get there on your own and allow enough time for the drive, parking, and check-in.

The official visit lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes. The wider duration shown for the activity is 1.5 to 3 hours because you may stay longer during opening hours and order additional wine. Extra wine by the glass or bottle costs more.

There is one firm timing point to note: you must leave the bodega by 2 pm. That makes the morning schedule especially important. The English tour at 10 am and Spanish tour at 11 am fit comfortably into that window. The German tour at noon also finishes around the required departure time, but you should not assume you can extend the visit afterward.

Who will get the most from this visit

I would recommend Bodegas Bordoy to you if you want more than a quick tasting. The production walk gives the experience enough depth for anyone curious about farming, winery machinery, or the path from grape to bottle.

It also suits couples and small groups who prefer a relaxed setting. The possibility of a small group means you may get more direct contact with the guides, although group size can depend on the date you choose.

Wine beginners should feel comfortable here. The tasting includes several styles, and the guide explains the process in plain terms. You do not need to arrive with technical wine knowledge.

It is also a good choice for a midday stop near Llucmajor, particularly if you are already staying near the Hyatt Zoëtry Mallorca. The setting and snacks can make it feel like a pleasant half-day outing, but you need to organize your own transport.

I would be more cautious about booking if you are vegan or vegetarian and cannot confirm suitable food in advance. I would also skip it if you want a full meal, a red bottle included as the gift, or a winery visit with no driving required.

The bodega is wheelchair accessible, which makes it a practical option for many visitors. Still, if you have specific mobility needs, confirm the details directly before arrival since the supplied information does not describe every surface or room.

What the $51 price really covers

The $51 fee includes several parts that would otherwise be separate: a guided bodega visit, the walk through the vines, five wine tastings, finger food, Qi Gong, and a full bottle of Fermança white or rosé.

The price is strongest for you if you value the explanation and the take-home bottle. Five wines alone can make a tasting worthwhile, but the production tour gives the visit more structure and the bottle provides a lasting part of the purchase.

Extra wine is not included. You can stay longer and order wine by the glass or bottle for an additional charge, but keep the 2 pm departure rule in mind. The experience is not an open-ended afternoon at the cellar.

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. You can also reserve now and pay later, which helps if your Mallorca plans are still shifting. These policies do not change what happens during the visit, but they make the booking less rigid.

Should you book Bodegas Bordoy?

Book this experience if you want a friendly, detailed winery visit with five wines, Mallorcan snacks, and a full bottle to carry away. Alexandra and Elena bring a human touch to the tour, while the production rooms give you something concrete to see between the vines and the tasting table.

The best reasons to go are the behind-the-scenes route, the mix of white, rosé, and red wines, and the sensible value of the Fermança gift bottle. Plan carefully around the driving directions, 15-minute early arrival, food limitations, and 2 pm departure.

For a relaxed wine stop near Llucmajor, this is an easy choice. Just confirm the language and start time that suit you, and contact the bodega first if you need vegetarian or vegan food.
