Bodegas Monje Bodegas + Cata de Vinos y Taller de Salsa de Mojo

Hands-on workshop on mojo picón and Canarian potatoes with a tasting of young wines at Bodegas Monje, in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, including a guided tour of the winery.

The outing combines a workshop on making mojo picón and Canarian potatoes with a wine tasting at Bodegas Monje, in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. A chef guides participants through each step of the preparation so that they learn how to get this typical Canarian sauce just right. It can be red or green and, in its green version, may include coriander, parsley or pumpkin.

The tasting includes freshly baked bread with several spreads, such as watercress butter and spiced goat's cheese, as well as cheese cut into thin slices on toasted bread. The wrinkled potatoes are served with the mojo made during the workshop and accompanied by three glasses of young wines from the winery itself.

The outing also includes a guided tour of the facilities, which lets visitors see up close how wine is produced. It is especially well suited to couples and groups of friends who want to cook, taste and discover a winery all in one outing.
