Markus Divinus - Zafrana Boutique Winery

Tucked proverbially off the beaten path, Markus Divinus boutique winery was a highlight of the day! Unbeknownst to us, harvest had just begun, so Mark the owner happened to be there to welcome us before introducing us to Priscilla, who led our 10 am Angel Share tasting experience. Only producing 5,000 bottles per yr, Markus Divinus truly is boutique - beyond the winery itself, the only place to find their wines is at the Michelin star restaurants of Malta! After seeing the cellar and where they hand label each bottle we enjoyed a flight of 6 varietals. Mark is very detail oriented and it shines through the quality of his wines! Drink local!!!

I discovered the winery on the last evening of my trip. The morning of my last day on the island I wrote them, hoping for a tasting. They replied, and I went to their cellar. It was a wonderful experience, especially since I had the honor of meeting the owner. A visionary man who is making his dreams come true. The wines, made from primarily international grape varieties, are elegant and structured, expressing the terroir. Book an experience on their website and discover them for yourself!

We had the pleasure of visiting for a private wine tasting and charcuterie experience to celebrate my partner’s birthday, and it was truly a highlight of our trip to Malta. From the moment we arrived, our host Priscilla made us feel incredibly welcome. She was warm, knowledgeable, and passionate about the wines, which elevated the entire experience. Her friendly nature and personal touch made the tasting feel special and intimate — exactly what we had hoped for. The selection of wines was beautifully curated, and the charcuterie pairing complemented them perfectly. The setting itself was charming and peaceful, a hidden gem tucked away with stunning surroundings. Thank you to Priscilla for making our visit so memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and personal wine experience in Malta!

Fantastic! Great location, beautiful setting and very knowledgeable staff that made the tasting interesting, the nibbles were great and local. I've seen some top notch wine farms from South Africa to the USA and this was great! The star of the show were the wines I was very impressed!

This winery is hands down the best winery in Malta. The wine is incredibly delicious & unique, the staff is more than friendly, and the location is the most peaceful place on the island. It is great to have many different options for wine tastings and snacks while having a nice view of the winery and nearby town! This winery is a MUST when visiting Malta! I can’t count how many times I visited while I lived nearby!

I chose this experience to celebrate my 40th birthday with some close family and friends and it was truly magical 🥰 the unique private location reminded me of Sicily (on a small scale), the wines were really nice and all had a unique inspiration which was also shared with us and both Mark and Priscilla were very friendly and welcoming. Well done and keep up the great work - highly recommend!!!!

I had the pleasure of visiting Markus Divinus for a wine tasting, and it was a truly exceptional experience. Mark is a remarkable host, always kind, welcoming, and passionate about his craft. His dedication to winemaking is evident in every bottle, with each wine reflecting his deep love and commitment to this art. The atmosphere at the winery is warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to enjoy high-quality wines while learning about the production process directly from someone who genuinely cares. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable wine experience!

It is hard to describe how wonderful our experience was at this amazing vineyard. We celebrated my husband's 40th birth with a group of 13 people - the hospitality, generosity and passion was above and beyond what we could have hoped for. That is on top of incredible and exciting wine. The small production of each bottle makes each glass special. Mark and Priscilla, thank you.
