Bodegas Bentomiz
About the Winery
Bodegas Bentomiz is a boutique winery in Malaga’s hills within sight of the Mediterranean sea. In this beautiful location our 80 to 100 year-old vines flourish in slate soils, benefitting cooling sea breezes. With a combination of modern and traditional vinification techniques we produce a range of fresh and delicate wines. The winery has been developed since 2004 by Clara Verheij (our enologist) and André Both (our chef) and produces a varied range of wines. We opened the restaurant in 2015 to showcase the pairing possibilities, designing each dish to match one of our wines in perfect combination. Clara and André share a passion for the wine and gastronomy, and Málaga, that they and their staff, love to share.
About the Wines
We produce a varied range of 11 wines, red, white and rosé, dry and sweet, still and sparkling - but all share a subtlety and freshness that we love.
The Ariyanas wines are derived from exclusively Málagueño grapes. Like our winery name Bentomiz, Ariyanas is an ancient local place name; it was the name of a Moorish hamlet that was next to our vineyard before the Reconquest. The word comes from the Arabic for “aromatic” – very appropriate! We have expanded the range with two new wines, PiXel and Rayya. And in collaboration with Lobban Wines of Barcelona we produce three quality sparkling wines, two whites, and a rosé: definitely something to celebrate!

Friendly and inspiring
We tasted four different wines and added their tasting snacks. Everything was delicious, but the story behind both the winery and the wines themselves was particularly inspiring. Definitely worth a visit!
There were some confusion on our part regarding the date of the tasting, but were very kindly offered the chance to come the next day—thank you so much for the excellent service.
Really good wine experience
The welcome was warm. Rosa, our guide, made us feel welcome and comfortable.
The four wines we tasted were good. The first white was fresh and floral, so was the second.
The red wine was correct.
On the whole, I highly recommend this wine tasting.
We didn't stay for lunch, and we should have, as the menu was very enticing.
The location is great and the drive was exciting as we ascended the beautiful mountains of Málaga.
A great experience
We went on the recommendation of friends and we will do the same.
Much success!
Wonerful experience
The wine offered was very good & the food was top notch.
Designed for foreigners
Then, the appetizer cost 9 euros and only had 5 pieces of cured meats, one walnut, and one date.
I would do separate tours for foreigners and locals.
