Price includes 4 hour tour with licensed guide and tasting of Maltese wine and savouries.

Get to know the fortified cities of Cospicua, Birgu, and Senglea and try out some Maltese wine on a tour that combines local history with exquisite taste. With centuries of heritage in the harbours and cellars alike, you get an immersive introduction to this unique corner of the Mediterranean.

Start with a drive past Cospicua, whose double-fortified harbour has hosted ships since the days of the Phoenicians in the 7th century BC. Head to the nearby docks of Birgu while your guide explains the long history of sailors, merchants, and soldiers who vied for dominance of the Maltese islands in the days before Valletta rose to prominence.

At Senglea, you can learn about the city's role in resisting the Ottoman invasion during the Great Siege of 1565 while you take a walk along the narrow streets and admire the towering walls that still stand over the Grand Harbour. From there, head to Marsa for a look at the Marsovin Cellars and an introduction to the world of Maltese wine.

Once you've learned a bit about the process of pressing and fermenting the locally grown grapes, take a walk through the 400-year-old estate to see the timeless art of Maltese winemaking. Then, it's time to settle in and enjoy some of the island's signature tastes. A trained staff member introduces you to a range of Marsovin wines, accompanied by some choice breads and cheeses. You can purchase some favourites to take home before the time comes for your return trip.
