Wine distribution throughout the Canary Islands has been the core activity of La Cava de Piñero since the company was founded in 1994. Thanks to the trust of our clients, including renowned restaurants and hotels across the archipelago, we have established ourselves as a leading wine distributor in the region.
From our logistics centre in Gran Canaria, we distribute wines across both the province of Las Palmas and Santa Cruz de Tenerife. We exclusively represent more than 150wineries from the Canary Islands, Spain and abroad, offering a portfolio of over 700 wine references. This is the result of our ongoing commitment to learning and our passion for sharing the winemaking projects we believe in.
At La Cava de Piñero, we stand out for providing a high-quality service built on personalised attention and prompt deliveries. We offer complete flexibility to our clients because we understand the challenges involved in managing a restaurant's wine selection. Above all, we continuously refine our processes to strengthen our position as the leading wine distribution company in the Canary Islands.
Our extensive portfolio enables us to create bespoke wine selections tailored to any gastronomic concept, whether focused on a particular grape variety, wine region, style or the perfect harmony between food and wine.
We advise our hospitality clients on the exclusive wines they can include on their wine lists according to wine style, grape variety, Protected Designation of Origin and winery, helping them enhance the dining experience they offer. We also recommend the ideal food and wine pairings based on the specialities served by each restaurant.
The success of a wine list depends largely on the knowledge of the people presenting it.
For this reason, we take a proactive and continuous approach to training both our clients and our own team. One of the aspects we enjoy most is getting to know first-hand the wineries we represent. Acting as the link between the people who produce these exceptional wines and our clients allows us to help pass on their stories and philosophy to the final customer
We advise restaurants and their teams on how to communicate the unique characteristics of every wine to their guests, including:
- The winemaking process, enabling staff to explain each wine confidently at the table.
- The grape varieties used and their distinctive characteristics.
- The Protected Designation of Origin (PDO).
- Why a particular wine is recommended for a specific occasion.
The purpose of the events we organise is to bring together expertise and enthusiasm through our finest wineries and valued clients. These occasions allow guests to taste outstanding wines and discover the latest releases presented by the people who know each winery's philosophy, history and traditions best.
Our events bring together the prestigious wineries we exclusively represent—international, Spanish and Canarian—as well as leading professionals from the hotel and restaurant sectors and wine enthusiasts alike.
As passionate advocates of wine, we have always aimed to go one step further. That is why, in 2019, we organised the Canary Islands' leading wine event: the first edition of the Salón de Vinos de Canarias – La Cava de Piñero, which brought together 60 wineries and 400 visitors.
At the second edition of the Salón de Vinos de Canarias – La Cava de Piñero, held in 2022, we introduced the Canarias Wine Challenge, a blind wine tasting competition for pairs in which participants competed for prestigious prizes by demonstrating their wine knowledge. That edition also saw the launch of the Showroom de Vinos Canarios, created to showcase and promote the outstanding wines of the Canary Islands.
We specialise in supplying the hospitality industry, focusing our wine distribution on labels that are exclusively available in restaurants and hotels. Our carefully selected wines from Canarian, Spanish and international wineries allow diners to enjoy unique and memorable experiences.
The growing recognition of Canarian wines, both nationally and internationally, is now undeniable. Anyone visiting the islands to experience our gastronomy should also have the opportunity to discover our local wines on restaurant wine lists.
At La Cava de Piñero, we are firmly committed to supporting wineries from the Canary Islands. The archipelago's unique climate and geography have given rise to exceptional indigenous grape varieties, with around 135 different grape varieties and 10 Protected Designations of Origin across the islands.
Alongside our Canarian portfolio, we offer carefully selected wines from some of the most exciting Spanish and international wineries. Many of these are brought exclusively to the Canary Islands by La Cava de Piñero, allowing our clients to offer distinctive wines unavailable elsewhere.
In addition to our wines, we stock an extensive selection of gourmet products, including premium preserves, Iberian cured meats, olive oils, caviar and artisan cheeses, enabling our clients to create the perfect accompaniment to their wine offering.
