The boldest sensory experience in the Canary Islands
When history, seduction and the finest Canarian wine come together beneath the centuries-old stone walls of Bodegas Monje, something changes forever. Wine & Sex is not an event. It is a threshold which, once crossed, makes you see pleasure from an entirely new perspective.
On 18 April 2026, the first edition of Wine & Sex Cleopatra took place at Bodegas Monje, and what unfolded within its walls exceeded all expectations. A truly unique staging, carefully selected wines, aphrodisiac-inspired gastronomy, and an atmosphere that shifted between mystery and the most refined provocation.
If you missed it, you have a second chance. The next edition of Wine & Sex Cleopatra will be held on 4 July 2026 at Bodegas Monje in El Sauzal (Tenerife). Places are limited, and here is everything you need to know before booking.
What is Wine & Sex?
Wine & Sex is a concept born at Bodegas Monje that fuses wine culture with performing arts, aphrodisiac gastronomy, and a sensory staging unlike anything else in the Canary Islands. Each edition is built around a different theme that transforms the winery’s historic spaces into an immersive setting where all the senses are engaged at once.
It is not a tasting. It is not a dinner show. It is something far more difficult to define: a four-hour experience in which wine serves as the thread guiding a journey through desire, beauty and play. After 16 years, it has earned a distinctive reputation within Tenerife’s gastronomic scene and now attracts visitors from across Spain and Europe.
The Kleopatra Edition: the elixir of desire
For 2026, Wine & Sex embraces the figure of Cleopatra—queen, seductress and strategist—as a metaphor for a power that never fades: desire. The Cleopatra narrative revolves around an impossible object, tied to eternity and power, which reappears after centuries of silence during a secret inauguration.
Between glasses of carefully selected wines from Bodegas Monje, reality begins to shift. The senses sharpen. And time simply ceases to exist as we know it.
“The rest… is revealed only to those who dare to experience it.”
The journey: four spaces, four moments
One of the defining features of Wine & Sex is that it does not take place in a single setting. The experience unfolds across four distinct areas of Bodegas Monje, each with its own atmosphere, dramaturgy and surprises.
01 — The Hall: the tension of the first moment
You arrive at Bodegas Monje, surrounded by vineyards, and immediately sense that this place is different. No one knows exactly what will happen. Nerves and smiles coexist as you prepare to cross the threshold.
02 — The Old Winery: aromas, music and magic
You wander among century-old barrels as music and performance envelop you. The aromas of the winery blend with the first notes of the wines selected for this edition. Here, true seduction begins.
03 — The Barrel Room: gastronomy and play
The space opens up, and with it, the culinary experience. Over 20 aphrodisiac-inspired appetisers to share, toast with, and savour. This is also where the games, interactive moments and theatrical surprises begin.
04 — The Wine Club: level -4, the heart of the night
Deep within Bodegas Monje, on its lowest level, the experience reaches its climax. Music, performing arts, a full dinner, and an atmosphere that makes it impossible to return home unchanged.
What does the ticket include?
The ticket price—starting from €108 per person—covers the entire experience, with nothing extra required: access to the four-hour event, a tasting of several Bodegas Monje wines selected specifically for the Cleopatra edition, more than twenty aphrodisiac-inspired appetisers served throughout the journey, a full dinner with main course and dessert, and the artistic and theatrical experience that brings the night to life.
Optionally, during booking, you may add transport and an overnight stay arranged with the Gran Hotel Laguna in La Laguna.
Wine & Sex in Tenerife: why this event matters
Bodegas Monje has long been one of the leading names in Canarian wine, with vineyards in El Sauzal producing distinctive Atlantic and volcanic varieties. With Wine & Sex, however, the winery has gone a step further: transforming its spaces into a living stage that celebrates sensuality in all its forms.
The result is an event with no equivalent in the Canary Islands, attracting an ever-growing national and international audience. A concept that blends experiential wine tourism, performing arts, haute cuisine, and a staging that breaks away from conventional formats.
For those seeking original plans in Tenerife, experiences for couples or groups of friends with a touch more spark, or simply a night to remember for years to come, Wine & Sex Cleopatra has become one of the most compelling offerings of 2026.
