A welcome drink at Pub Momo provided the perfect first toast for our international crew. No bookings were needed, the garden was rain-proof, and the vibe in the pretty garden was just right.

It is a great opportunity to enjoy the vibrant energy of Palma’s culinary scene during the day, and then return home at a respectable hour!

At Wine Industry Mallorca, we’ve watched with a mix of disbelief and dismay as 0% alcohol wine has become one of the fastest-growing trends in the drinks business. Yes, you read that right.
