Trevejos – Winegrowing, Wineries and Holiday Apartments

Trevejos reveals its character in a wine-growing landscape that closely combines agriculture, volcanic soils and Canarian produce. The plain of Trevejos consists almost entirely of land used for agriculture, especially vineyards. Trevejos encompasses approximately 250 hectares of vineyards.

Landscape and Geographical Setting

The Llano de Trevejos is integrated into the protected landscape of Ifonche. The vineyards grow on volcanic soil with a surface layer of clay and sand approximately 1 to 1.5 metres thick over volcanic rock. The Cabildo lists the Pista de Trevejos-Vilaflor from kilometre 14.6 to kilometre 16.5 of the TF-51 road between La Camella and Vilaflor.

Winegrowing and Culture

The Llano de Trevejos was formerly also known by the names „Tierras del Marqués“ and „Los Quemados“. The predominant crop in the Llano de Trevejos is the grapevine. The traditional cultivation in Jable is part of the area's cultural and ethnographic value. Historically, wheat and barley shared their outstanding importance with winegrowing.

The wine-growing landscape of Trevejos is associated with wines bearing the Denominación de Origen Abona designation of origin. The 15 hectares of old vineyards belonging to Bodegas Altos de Trevejos in the Llano de Trevejos benefit from a special altitude of 1,300 metres.

Visits and Tastings

Bodegas Reverón offers walks through the vineyards as well as a guided winery tour. The tour covers the history and wine production, followed by a commented tasting of four wines with a snack of typical products.

At Bodegas Altos de Trevejos, the visits include the winery and the vineyards. The family project, wine production, grape varieties, volcanic soils and high-altitude winegrowing are explained. The winery also offers wine tastings accompanied by local products.

Finca Ecológica Alma de Trevejos offers self-guided visits by prior reservation. At the organic farm, visitors can learn about winegrowing from cultivating the vines and treading the grapes to the maturation of the wine, and can taste the wines.
