Visit to the Can Axartell Wineries

Staying at the Aimia Hotel, in the heart of Port de Sóller, gives us the chance to enjoy a Mediterranean retreat where the sea and the Serra de Tramuntana shape the magical landscape of the area. But this privileged setting on the north coast of Mallorca offers much more than beaches, coves, paths and hiking routes in Mallorca. It also opens the door to discovering the gastronomic treasures of the Mediterranean, its products, centuries-old traditions, processes and stories.

Treasures such as some of the most unique and special wine-making projects in Mallorca. That is why today we suggest a plan to discover one of these singular projects: a visit to Bodegas Can Axartell, located less than an hour’s drive from the Aimia Hotel and now considered a benchmark of innovation, sustainability and authenticity through one of the most special and traditional products of our islands: Mallorcan wine.

From the Aimia Hotel to the Wineries

The excursion from the Aimia Hotel is, in itself, part of the experience. It is a journey we recommend doing by car, taking you through Mallorca’s valleys and ancient olive groves until you reach the Pollença area, where the estate is located.

Upon arrival, you will see how Can Axartell presents itself as a modern winery, perfectly integrated into the landscape and designed to operate using gravity, a method that allows the production of Mallorcan wines with extraordinary purity and delicacy. One of its most iconic features is the semi-underground building carved into the rock, an engineering work that blends contemporary architecture with absolute respect for the environment, something you can sense even before the visit begins.

Once there, we will head to the starting point of our tour to discover the spectacular work carried out at Bodegas Can Axartell, and learn how they produce and share their highly regarded Mallorcan wine.

The Winery Visit

The guided tour of Bodega Can Axartell is an immersion into the estate’s working philosophy. It is an experience that fully plunges us into the process of producing Mallorcan wine and into their unique way of understanding the product. During the visit, we discover that local varieties such as Callet, Premsal Blanc, and Gorgollassa are cultivated here, alongside international grapes that adapt surprisingly well to Mallorca’s climate.

Our guide will also explain how the project was born: a project with a clear sustainable vocation, constantly striving to respect the environment through techniques such as efficient water use, minimal intervention in the vineyard, and total respect for the wine’s natural rhythm. Throughout the visit, we observe these techniques as we descend through the winery’s different levels, watching how the grapes enter from the upper area and how the wine is produced without the need for mechanical pumps, preserving its freshness and personality to the fullest.

After learning about the process, we come to one of the most anticipated moments: the wine tasting at Can Axartell. This experience takes place in an open, airy space overlooking the Serra de Tramuntana, where visitors taste some of their most representative wines, such as Rosé, Terra and XXVI, each with its own personality. Attention often focuses on the elegance of their expressive whites and rosés, as well as their balanced reds, which capture the mineral essence of the terrain. The explanation that accompanies the tasting helps us understand why Can Axartell has become one of Mallorca’s benchmark wineries.

Beyond the technical aspects and the architectural charm, what truly sets the visit to Can Axartell apart is the sense of calm that envelops the entire estate. The tasting becomes a slow, almost meditative moment in which each wine is enjoyed unhurriedly, accompanied by the sound of the wind over the almond trees and the aroma of the Mallorcan earth. Many visitors agree that it is an experience that connects with Mallorca in an intimate and authentic way: a moment in which time seems to stand still and one understands how the island, its landscape and its wine tradition converse in every glass. It is a memory that often accompanies travellers throughout their stay, and many times, long after they have returned home.

Pollença: the perfect complement to our visit

Likewise, if we want to make the most of our visit and enjoy a more complete experience, we can combine our day at Can Axartell with other stops in the Pollença area, such as the town’s old quarter or the Calvari of Pollença, before returning to the Aimia Hotel.

It is an ideal experience for either a peaceful morning or a relaxing afternoon, and one that can be enjoyed from the Aimia Hotel with total ease. The mix of sea and mountains offered by Port de Sóller finds its perfect complement in this serene, historic wine-growing landscape, giving us yet another perspective on Mallorca.

Moreover, the distance is short enough to enjoy the experience without rushing: a comfortable departure from the hotel, a guided tour and wine tasting, and a return in time to relax by the hotel pool, dine at the Airecel Restaurant, or take a stroll along the bay while enjoying the sunset in Port de Sóller.

For all these reasons, visiting Bodegas Can Axartell from the Aimia Hotel is an authentic plan that we wholeheartedly recommend to anyone wishing to complement their stay in Port de Sóller with a first-rate cultural and gastronomic experience. It is an experience that allows us to discover another side of Mallorca: one that moves at its own pace, cares for the land and turns every sip into a tribute to the island.

An essential plan for any wine lover, or for those simply looking to spend a different kind of day surrounded by nature, architecture and flavour.
