Take a typical recipe back home with you from your trip to the Canary Islands. Learn to make the traditional Canarian mojo sauce with this workshop in Monje Winery. You'll also visit the bodega's barrel cellar and taste some of the wines for yourself!
Culinary Workshop and Wine Tasting
At your selected time, go to Bodegas Monje in the north of Tenerife, where your chef will await you for this special culinary workshop. Let's get cooking!
Over the course of an hour and a half, you'll discover the secret to the traditional spicy mojo sauce (mojo picón). We'll go over the ingredients and the key steps to making this recipe characteristic of the Canarian archipelago. You'll also learn to make other mojos with a base of cilantro, parsley and pumpkin. Be sure to take notes so you can recreate this Spanish dish at home whenever you want!
At the end of the workshop, we'll see how we did and taste our culinary creations with plenty of papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes), one of the most typical Canarian dishes. We'll also accompany the sauces with three different types of wine, as well as toasted bread and a selection of local spreads including mantequilla de berros (watercress butter), almogrote (cheese, garlic and tomato-based spread) and chorizo palmero (Canarian chorizo).
Then, the group will go on a 45-minute guided tour of the bodegas. Your guide will tell you all about the history of the Monje family, we'll see their extensive vineyards and visit the old barrel cellar, dating back to the year 1956. A complete gastronomic experience!
After no less than two and a half hours of being immersed in Tenerife's culinary scene, the activity will come to an end.
