Discovering Málaga en torno al vino at Museo del Vino Málaga
Exploring the Wine Heritage and Urban Evolution of Málaga
Visitors looking to deepen their understanding of local viticulture can participate in a specialized cultural experience at the Museo del Vino Málaga. The institution offers a dedicated program titled "Málaga en torno al Vino: historia de una ciudad," designed to connect the city's physical development with its deep-rooted winemaking traditions.
The experience begins with an urban walking tour lasting approximately one hour and thirty minutes. This segment examines how Málaga evolved architecturally and socially, tracing its foundations back to the Phoenicians, who were among the earliest producers and traders of wine in the region. Participants explore how historical wine production and export shaped the urban landscape and cultural identity of the city across the centuries.
What to Expect from the Guided Tour and Tasting
Led by architect and guide Elena García Crespo in collaboration with GA Andalucia, the tour bridges historical architecture with agricultural heritage. The cultural walk concludes inside the historic setting of the Museo del Vino Málaga, housed within the 18th-century Palacio de Biedmas. At the end of the route, attendees take part in a guided tasting featuring generic wines from the Vinos Málaga and Sierras de Málaga designations.
For those planning to attend, bookings can be made directly at the physical ticket office of the museum or online via the official product category page up until the day before the event.
