Shakedpeare and the Worlds Best Wine Museum
Maria José, sommelier.
I loved tours through the Champagne cellars in Rheims. Denbies in the UK had tours of the hillside, or cellars, a supermarket size shop and restaurant. So why am I so excited by my trip to Casa Del Vino, Tenerife, in the Canaries?
You get a free car park and tour of the wine museum. and a honey bee museum. The Wine Museum also has a shop sellîng wînes and honeys. A restaurant.
The shop had free tester of three aloe vera and other moisturizers.
Or degustation. Costing 16, 20 or 30 Euros in June 2026. Ending with chocolate covered almonds.
We had coffee in the separately operated restaurant which had an English version of their menu offering intriguing, challenging options including broken eggs, wrinkled potatoes with mojo, bigeye tuna, corn cream, black pig cheeks,
And
Chocolate, oil and salt.
To get there we flew by Ryanair.

Saved Signs
As I travel I save bilingual signs.
I leave at home the big desk diary which I don't want to risk losing. The large diary is also bulky and contributes extra weight.
I keep a small notebook for my travel records. At the back, uding tje book upside down, are foreign language words learned from bingual signs. This keeps me entertained when waiting for transport or service.
