Ta' Mena Gozo

About

Ta’ Mena Estate is a family‑run vineyard and traditional food shop on the island of Gozo that blends winemaking, gastronomy and heritage under one roof. Founded by the Spiteri family in 2002 following the passing of beloved mother Carmela “Mena” Spiteri, the estate resurrected two hectares of former fruit and vegetable gardens into a 25‑hectare working vineyard. Visitors are invited to sample the estate’s acclaimed Gozo D.O.K. wines—red, rosé, white and table wines—known for their distinctive island‑effect saltiness. Alongside the wine, the estate offers a free tasting of a range of local Gozitan foods, from sweet tomato paste to cold‑pressed olive oil and artisan liqueurs, all produced with traditional recipes that predate refrigeration. The estate’s historic ambiance, coupled with educational displays about viticulture and local cuisine, makes it a must‑visit cultural and culinary experience on Gozo. The estate’s shop on the main road from Victoria to Marsalforn is the hub for wine and food sales, while the on‑site tasting area provides an intimate setting to enjoy both products. With a family‑friendly atmosphere, free tastings, and a focus on authentic Gozitan heritage, Ta’ Mena Estate offers an immersive day out for visitors of all ages. Whether you’re a wine connoisseur seeking robust Gozitan terroir or a food lover eager to sample traditional Mediterranean preserves, Ta’ Mena delivers a delightful blend of history, flavor, and local charm that showcases the best of Gozo’s agricultural legacy.
