Excursion S.a.l.t. pioneer winery & chef gerard espinoza in an idyllic mediterranean landscape tour at Port Mahon

Despite its small size, Menorca boasts "more beaches than days in the year". Unlike its neighbors Mallorca & Ibiza, Menorca was declared a UNESCO Biosphere in 1983 and as a result has enjoyed a level of protection and authenticity rarely found along Spain's Mediterranean coast. Menorca boasts white, rose and red wines that are wonderfully fresh, exuberant and sincere, and pair perfectly with its seasonal Mediterranean kitchen.

The Concept

Torralbenc is a pioneer winemaker celebrating Menorcan lifestyle in an idyllic setting, leaders in the island's gastronomic revival with celebrated chef Gerard Espinoza. Torralbenc epitomizes Menorca, its spectacular setting matched by its backstory: as pioneers in winemaking on the island, their respect for their land and heritage is present in every detail of their project.

Torralbenc’s dedication to celebrating local gastronomy, lead by star chef Gerard Espinoza, adds a personalized culinary element not found anywhere else on the island. On this experience S.A.L.T. guests will be taken into the vineyards & cellar for an explanation of the grapes and wine heritage unique to Menorca, followed by a tasting and multi course lunch menu conceived by Gerard Espinoza.

Chef Gerard Espinoza is a reference across the island of Menorca, and a proud voice for the advancement and dissemination of Menorcan cuisine throughout Spain and the world. He was instrumental in Menorca being named European Region of Gastronomy in 2022.
