We had an extremely enjoyable time with Igor who introduced us to some superb Victoria Torres wines unique to La Palma. Igor really knows his wine and shared his knowledge with us in an engaging and accessible way. The tasting was a real highlight of our holiday. Highly recommended. Thanks Igor!

We were very pleased with the wine tasting. Nice to try some different wines and good Spanish snacks. We can really recommend this wine tasting which was warm and personal.
Igor is a WSET Level 3 Certified wine professional. He puts a lot of effort into researching and sourcing interesting wines for his wine tastings. He shares technical information on the wines / grapes tasted that will be of interest to both wine enthusiasts and wine novices eager to broaden their knowledge and experience in wine. The tastings are conducted in an engaging and friendly atmosphere. Igor always encourages participants to express their views and to ask questions on the wines tasted.
Igor is fantastically knowledgeable and passionate. This was my first time learning about and trying wines from grapes native to the Canary Islands such as negramoll and listán blanco. Igor curates a really well balanced selection of wines from producers he has met personally such as Victoria Torres and as such can provide a really comprehensive introduction to each wine which makes for a really special experience. I highly recommend!
We loved our time with Igor, learning so much about the wine on La Palma. The wines were great, the view beautiful and we completely enjoyed Igor's knowledge. We highly recommend!!!
Igor is an expert in Canary Wines, having lived on the islands for many years and met most of the winemakers. His knowledge is exceptional, which is rare for such niche wine tastings. Highly recommended.
Relaxed yet insightful journey into accessible local wines. Igor is knowledgeable and puts you at ease. I highly recommend!
My friends and I decided to try out some La Palma wines whilst on holidays, and came across this wine tasting. What a fun experience! We sampled amazing wines, from a local female wine producer Victoria Torres and learnt so much from the very knowledgeable sommelier Igor. We also had some tasty nibbles to compliment the wine. I really recommend checking out these wine tastings.
If you want to know more about wine and La Palma wine in general, you definitely want to do tasting with Igor. He will give you a great intro to wines produced in La Palma, how they are made and why they are different from each other. He will give you are peak into local snacks that goes well with wine. And it all takes place right on the Santa Cruz seaside with a great view of the sea and the neighbouring islands.
The tasting felt very personal, with detailed explanations and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The volcanic wines were truly unique, and the panoramic view made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone, even if you visit alone
I’ve attended one of Vingelist tastings recently and was very surprised by the “home-like atmosphere” there even if there were some people who I’ve met for the first time in my life. I guess those kinds of small tastings attract likeminded people who want not just a beverage but to learn and try something new. Good factual knowledge, interesting wines selection (not like any I’ve ever tasted before) and also ability to share the story with others. Really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend to others. Thank you Igor, you are the best!
I’ve attended one of Igor’s wine tastings recently. Reserved through his Instagram page while experience is also available at different resales. Great introduction to La Plama wines and also a professional introduction to wine tasting in general which allowed an ordinary consumer like myself to learn more about wine in the language that I could easily understand and follow. Very good wines selection and the use of Coravin was also a bonus. Some small snacks matched very well with the wines I’ve got to taste.
Very interesting for all wine lovers!TOP event!!******
Igor is a great professional. He is continuously traveling and training so that he can share his experiences with us. Your tastings are highly recommended
A professional and passionate mega who is Igor, and as in everything he does, quality guaranteed! I am surprised how you know of wines, be they Canarian, Chilean, Californian, from all over the world!! 😎
During the cruise to the Canary Islands booked a tasting tour at Igor on the island of La Palma. It was very interesting and informative! The range of wines and appetizers offered is just an opening for our company! Igor delivers information in a professional and accessible manner, and we recommend attending the event!
It was very interesting the tasting with high-end La Palma wines that export around the world. Natural / Artisan wines, modern with little production and with much respect to the land and past winemakers. We learned many things, not only from Palma wines and wine in general. Nice ocean views from the tasting table”
Igor is a professional sommelier who lives in Santa Cruz on La Palma Island. He met us near the liner, took us for a walk around the city, showed us the best places to swim and buy local produce and gave us a very interesting tasting of local wines with properly selected snacks from local produce. It was a great day.
Great tasting of local wines in Santa Cruz. Stunning ocean views and sea breezes as a complement to the fun. Good selection of modern wines and affordable accompaniment. It was just the two of us and everything was just for the two of us, a big difference from group tourism. Were only on La Palma for one day (visited the island as part of our Canary cruise) and this tasting simply "saved" our day as the weather was cool for swimming and we did not take tours of the island.
