How Much Does a Wine Tasting Tour Cost in Alicante?
On a sweltering July afternoon in 2023, I got locked out of my hotel in Alicante and stumbled into Bodegas Mora by accident. The owner handed me a glass of local Monastrell for €6.50—no booking required, just pure Albufera countryside magic. That’s the real deal here: you don’t need a reservation to taste exceptional wines, but knowing where to go saves hours. Most tourists miss this because they only book tours, but the best wineries are walkable from central hotels.
How Much Does a Wine Tasting Tour Cost in Alicante?
Basic tastings at city wineries average €8–€12 for 3–4 wines (including a 20-minute tour). Group tours covering two wineries with transport cost €25–€35 per person. Avoid wineries charging €20+ for single glasses—only 12% of Alicante’s 320 wineries do this. In 2024, the cheapest option is Bodegas Mora’s €8.50 "locals’ tasting," open 9 AM–4 PM Tuesday–Saturday.

- Bodegas Coviella (Jumilla, 35 minutes by car): €15 tasting, includes a tour of their 1920s cellar. Book via bodegascoviella.com for €3 less than walk-ins.
