Which wine tours include transport from Málaga?
Transport included
The Shared Málaga Wine Tour and Organic Olive Oil & Wine Tour leave from Plaza de la Marina and return to Málaga. You can enjoy the tastings without organising a rural transfer.
Private door-to-door
The Full Private Wine Tour includes private pickup and return for 1–16 guests. For larger groups, suitable transport is quoted separately.
Meet there
The City Wine Tasting meets in central Málaga. The Mijas Vineyard Tasting is reached independently by car, taxi or ride service.
Málaga City Wine Tasting
A playful, accessible introduction for travellers who want to discover wine without giving over half a day. The tasting takes place in central Málaga and runs from a single guest.
Choose it if: you want an easy first encounter with wine, a fun sensory session and no transport planning.
Mijas Vineyard Wine & Olive Oil Tasting
This is the sensory countryside option: five organic wines, olive oils, tapas and a vineyard walk in a beautiful open-air setting. You meet at the vineyard, so the experience stays shorter and more flexible.
Choose it if: you want a relaxed vineyard atmosphere and discovery without the denser learning of a full wine tour.
Shared Málaga Wine Tour with transport
A complete journey into the people, history and living processes behind Málaga wine. Visit the country house, vineyard and small winery; taste experimental wines and Antonio’s olive oils; see real equipment and production; and explore why these wines exist.
Important: this shared tour includes individual food pairings but not paella. Paella belongs to the Full Private Wine Tour.
Choose it if: you love wine and want knowledge, cultural immersion and a producer story—not merely a tasting with a transfer.
Organic Olive Oil & Wine Tour
Wine shares the stage with Andalusia’s other great agricultural culture. Walk through organic fields, enter a working cooperative and learn how olive oil is made before tasting five wines and three oils with individual tapas.
Choose it if: you want the richest agricultural picture and equal interest in wine, olive oil, landscapes and real rural production.
Full Private Wine Tour with homemade paella
The whole day belongs to your group. Go deeper into the family story, vineyard, farmhouse and small winery; talk about Málaga’s wine history and production; taste six organic and experimental wines, two oils and pairings; then share Antonio’s homemade paella.
Choose it if: you want the most complete wine experience, personal attention, door-to-door logistics and a private meal capable of becoming part of the memory.
