The DO Pla i Llevant
Colònia is inside the Pla i Llevant Denomination of Origin, which groups wineries of the island’s centre and east, including Campos, Felanitx and Santanyí. The Mediterranean climate, the nearby sea and the limestone soils give very distinctive grapes: it’s a quiet, rural area, perfect for discovering wines at a relaxed pace away from the crowds.
Which wines and grapes to try
To taste what’s local, look for the native grapes: in red, Callet and Mantonegro (fresh, Mediterranean); in white, Prensal Blanc (also called Moll). There are also lovely rosés for the heat and wines with international varieties. Ask them to explain the grapes: you learn and enjoy it more.

How to plan it (sensibly)
An afternoon of wineries pairs wonderfully with a drive through the Santanyí or Felanitx countryside and a good lunch. One important note: don’t drink and drive. Go with a non-drinking driver, spit at the tasting (it’s normal) or use a taxi. That way you enjoy the wine safely. Pair it with the market to take home local produce.
