At Bodegas Monje, the passion for wine and gastronomy is transformed into unique experiences. This passion is lived and breathed in every corner of our winery and is expressed vividly in every bottle and every dish we offer. From the careful cultivation of our grapes to the artistic creation in the kitchen, every step is a testimony to our love of oenological and gastronomic excellence.
Canarian flavour: Dive into our Mojo Picón Workshop
Mojo Picón, with its intense and characteristic flavour, is more than just a condiment in Canarian cuisine; it is an emblem of the culture and tradition of the Canary Islands. This dressing, which combines perfectly with a wide range of dishes, from the famous “papas arrugadas” (wrinkled potatoes) to various types of meat and fish, is a living testimony to the gastronomic richness of the archipelago. Its preparation, which varies slightly from one island to another and from one family to another, is an art handed down through generations, each recipe a jealously guarded secret.
At Bodegas Monje, we understand that the best way to appreciate the culture of wine and gastronomy is through direct experience and active participation. For this reason, we have created the Mojo workshop, an invitation to immerse yourself in the heart of the Canarian culinary tradition. This workshop is not just a cooking class; it is a cultural experience that connects people with the history, flavours and aromas of the Canary Islands.
Workshop participants have the unique opportunity to learn about the history of Mojo Picón, discover the indigenous ingredients that make up this iconic sauce and, most importantly, practice making their own Mojo under expert guidance.
At the end of the workshop, each participant takes away not only their own Mojo, but also a piece of Canarian tradition, an indelible memory of an authentic experience at Bodegas Monje. This workshop is a palpable example of how the passion for gastronomy and wine are intertwined in our activities, creating enriching experiences that go beyond the tasting, inviting everyone to be an active part of our wine and culinary culture.
Colours of wine: The Vinotinte Workshop of Bodegas Monje
Wine, that millenary drink celebrated for its complexity and beauty, is not only limited to being tasted; it transcends the palate to become a source of artistic inspiration. At Bodegas Monje, we explore a surprising facet of wine: its ability to dye and transform fabrics into works of art. This practice, known as wine dyeing, is a testament to the versatility and cultural richness that wine brings beyond the glass.
The Vinotinte workshop at Bodegas Monje is an invitation to discover that “wine is not just for drinking”, but can also be a vehicle for creative expression. In this workshop, participants are immersed in the fascinating process of using wine to dye fabrics, learning techniques that combine traditional craftsmanship with innovation. Each piece dyed with wine is not just a fashion item; it is a narrative, a piece that tells the story of its origin, from the vineyard to the workshop.
But the experience does not end in the workshop. In our online shop, we offer a selection of unique wine-dyed garments and textiles, available for those who wish to take a piece of this art home with them. These garments are the result of the fusion between fashion and oenology, pieces that stand out not only for their aesthetics, but also for their connection with the land and the wine tradition.
Vinotinte is a clear example of how at Bodegas Monje, wine inspires and gives life to new forms of art and expression. We invite everyone to explore this unique dimension of wine, discovering that its essence can be appreciated not only on the palate, but also through the senses, dressing the creativity that is born from each bottle.
At Bodegas Monje, we firmly believe that wine and gastronomy are inexhaustible sources of inspiration and creativity. Through our workshops, we offer our visitors the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich Canarian culture and explore new forms of art and expression.
We invite you to be part of these unique experiences, where every drop of wine and every bite of our gastronomy becomes an unforgettable sensory journey. Discover with us that wine and food go far beyond taste, they are a way of life, an art to explore and enjoy.
