2 Best Sights in Ibiza and the Balearic Islands, Spain

Binissalem, about a half-hour drive (25 km [15 miles]) from Palma, is the center of one of the island's two D.O.-registered wine regions and has a riotous harvest festival in mid-September, when surplus grapes are dumped by the truckload for participants to fling at each other. Some of Mallorca's best wineries are here, many of them open for tastings and tours. This winery is hard to find, but it's worth a detour, especially for its award-winning red Tres Uvas, a rich blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and a Mallorcan grape called Manto Negro, that's easy on the palate. It's open for tours and tastings, but call ahead on weekends.

One of the largest of Mallorca's wineries, Bodegas José L. Ferrer can be visited for tastings. Ferrer wines consistently do well at international competitions in France and Germany; Pedra de Binissalem, its ecological red, is a subtle blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and the local varietal Manto Negro—well worth a try.
