Los Dos Caballeros Winery & Vineyard Stay

On the edge of Inca, where the plain gently tilts towards Llubí, sits Los Dos Caballeros: a small, young winery built around a country house more than a hundred years old. The owners have planted a vineyard around the newly restored, Mallorcan-style estate, choosing four grape varieties that at first glance seem an unlikely mix: Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot from the wider international wine world, alongside Grenache and the island's own Manto Negro. From this combination come a white, a red and a rosé, all grown organically according to the estate itself — a detail that keeps surfacing unprompted in guest accounts as well.

This is not a walk-in winery; visits happen through booked, private tastings. Guests are taken through the vine rows and the small production area, given an explanation of the estate's philosophy — including its self-sufficient solar power setup — and then seated for a tasting of four wines paired with a charcuterie and cheese board of local products, the estate's own olive oil, and bread or savoury biscuits. A second, more intimate tasting room in the historic part of the building is kept for smaller groups of up to ten who prefer complete privacy. Beyond the wine itself, what keeps coming up in visitor accounts is the personal tone of these visits: Walter, William and the other hosts are described as taking real time to explain how grapes become wine, without ever seeming to rush, adapting the pace to whoever is in front of them, whether a couple, a small party, or a spontaneous stop during a day exploring the island.

For those who want to stay longer, the estate offers an on-site guest house with a private pool and vineyard views, apparently suited to couples or small groups spending a few nights — or, as some have done, a full week — surrounded by the vines. Wine can also be bought to take home through the estate's own online shop, which delivers free of charge within Mallorca above a minimum order. For a still closer connection to the project, individual vines can be leased, either as a personal winemaking experiment or as an unusual gift that keeps giving over several years, letting the recipient follow the growth of their own vine season after season.

The whole operation stays deliberately small and personal: not a large-scale visitor attraction, but a family project that has turned an old farmhouse and a young vineyard into something distinctly its own. Anyone wanting not just to drink Mallorcan wine but to understand how it is made will find the time and the explanations for it here — a world away from a centuries-old bodega, but with a very distinct, young signature of its own.
