For the centre of Majorca's wine industry you'll have to head for Binissalem, to the west of Inca. It was the Roman's that really kicked off wine making in Majorca, passing on skills of cultivating vineyards. In the 1st century BC, Balearic Island wines were being commended and compared with the best Italian wines. The Mallorcan wine industry has certainly been through it, getting hammered by cheap imported Spanish wines, which are often billed as Majorcan! In recent years though the island is establishing a real reputation for supreme quality wines. There are two very distinct vine-growing areas in Majorca. One in the centre around the districts of Binissalem, Consell, Santa Maria, Sencelles and Santa Eugenia, producing from 111 to 141 wines which are smooth on the palate and of excellent quality. Then there is the eastern Majorca area, comprising the municipal districts of Felanitx, Porreres and Manacor, producing from 101 to 131 wines
