FAQ
What is a guachinche?
A wine-grower's house that opens to sell the family's own wine, with a short menu of home cooking to go with it. The form is particular to Tenerife and concentrated in the northern valleys where the vines grow.
Are children welcome at Uva Negra?
Yes, and it is better equipped for them than most: there is a playground on site. That is unusual in a form of eating place that is often a converted garage with four tables in it.
Can I bring a dog?
The guachinche states that dogs are welcome. Combined with the outdoor terrace that makes it one of the easier places to eat traditional food here without leaving an animal in a hot car.
Where is La Matanza de Acentejo?
On the northern coast between La Laguna and Puerto de la Cruz, in the belt of vineyards above the motorway. It is the heart of guachinche country and about an hour from the southern resorts.
What wine will be served?
The house's own, which is the point of the format. Northern Tenerife grows Listán Negro and Listán Blanco on volcanic soil, and the results taste unlike mainland Spanish wine.
Has the guachinche changed recently?
It announced new management, so older reviews may describe a different kitchen. Worth treating any strong opinion you read from before the change as out of date.
