Mijas Wine Museum (Museo del Vino) is situated in C/San Sebastian, the most photographed road in the picturesque white-washed, mountain village of Mijas Pueblo. Originally a townhouse built in 1839, It is known to the locals as ‘The house of light’ because it was the first transformer for the supply of electricity in the town.
Since it opened as a museum in 2004, many a wine connoisseur and would be connoisseurs alike, have experienced the taste of days gone by in an authentic wine cellar.
Mijas wine museum gives wine lovers the chance to taste different wines from all regions of Spain. Wines including Cavas, table wines, reds, whites, rose’s and the more noble of wines are there to be sampled alongside gourmet foods chosen to enhance the wine tasting experience.
Visitors to the museum also learn about wines from the professional oenologists, who explain all there is to know about the wines as you are tasting them.
The museum isn’t just about wine tasting though. It is also the perfect place to find a good bottle of wine or small present for those who love everything to do with wine and there is also a small patio where you can sit back, relax and simply watch life pass you by as you enjoy some good food and fine wines.
From the outside the building looks more like a bodega than a museum but inside the attention to detail, design and the layout is simply stunning, enhancing the amazing ambience. Added to this, the warm welcome and friendly atmosphere you receive on entering the museum makes this a high class, must visit Costa del Sol tourist attraction.
