Mallorca is a beautiful Mediterranean destination known for its turqoise coves and beaches, but over the past few years it’s also become a destination for wine country and agrotourism. While this has led to exciting changes, it is frustrating to find that local wines are overpriced everywhere you look. Visitors and locals like you shouldn’t have to spend their time searching for fair market value bottles, and so I’ve put together this guide to help YOU find the best wine shop in Palma.
Which is the best wine shop in Palma? Well, that depends on what you are looking for. Below, I’m listing my recommendations. Click on the button for the Google Maps location, contact info, and hours.

Catavinos has an excellent selection of Mallorcan, Spanish, and International wines. Located on the outskirts of Palma, you’ll need a car to get here.
