Son Brull Mimo Wine & Olive Tour

Mallorcan hotel Son Brull’s previous lives include an Arab farmhouse, a Jesuit monastery and today - surely its most stunning incarnation - a boutique bolthole. The rural retreat welcomes solace-seekers with cool, Medieval-walled bedrooms and heavenly gardens where cicadas murmur lazily and the aroma of sun-warmed rosemary scents the air.

But despite its monastic history, Son Brull is in fact the scene of chic refinement with a distinctly sleek edge. Design aficionados flock here for the cool infinity pool, the chichi bar housed in an 18th century olive mill and the stylish rooms with cloistered stone verandas. A known foodie hub, Son Brull harvests from the olive groves, orchards and vines just steps away.

The hotel’s location is between the sea and the Serra Tramuntana mountain range, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that forms the northern backbone of Mallorca. And it’s here in the wild rocky, terrain where some of Mallorca’s finest wine and olive oil is produced. Take a tour with Mimo Mallorca to visit a bodega built into an old stone quarry in the Tramuntana mountains. Mimo are firm believers in the art of experiencing culture through food and drink, and their local team are passionate about sharing their insider knowledge.

Therefore, with Mimo, you get access to places not usually open to tourists. You’ll tour this under-the-radar organic wine facility to learn about a little-known ‘gravity method’ which ensures gentle winemaking. Step outside into the intense Mallorcan heat and walk through ancient indigenous olive groves, which produce Mallorca’s famed ‘liquid gold’.  Admire the neat rows of vines: this centuries-old vineyard makes use of ancient irrigation systems that date back to Arab occupation of Mallorca.
