BEACH & WINE 4.12.-11.12.2024
Are you a beach volleyball player who is interested in wines? Beach&Wine is unique blend of beach volleyball and exploring Canarian and especially Tenerife wines. Salud!
Beach&Wine is week designed by beach volley and wine enthusiasts. Tenerife has extraordinary wines which reflect the diversity of climates found here, with the complication that this can change even within a single region. Tenerife is the main producer of Canarian wines. Its vineyards host a rich viticultural heritage, with native vines grown on volcanic soil. During the Beach&Wine week we experience wines that are selected with care from Tenerife’s five wine regions but also other Canarian wines.
SPORT ACTIVITIES
Mornings and noons are dedicated to beach volley and other sport activities. Practices will be held by our experienced coaches on Beachboard Haciendas top conditions. If you want to invite your spouse or friend who is not a beach volley player, it is not a problem: we have planned other activities for morning and noon sessions. See more below.
WINE ACTIVITIES
Afternoons and evenings include wine tastings, presentations and workshops at Hacienda and optional excursions to hand-picked wineries and restaurants. Our camp program includes three wine related activities. Other optional wine activities are available at additional cost.
1) Welcoming dinner at Hacienda and the first tasting of Tenerife wines.
In our first tasting session, we will learn the basics of Tenerife wines under the guidance of our own wine expert Laura Paija and enjoy a tasty dinner at Hacienda
2) Tapas and Canarian Wines at Hacienda.
In the next evening, we will get to know the wines of Canary Islands more extensively under the guidance of our friend and wine bar owner Jacinto Hernandez or his team Yori Kunnen and Jochem Van Beek. Jacinto is also the Ambassador of Canarian wines by title. We will discover the distinct qualities of the certain high range wines from all seven Canary Islands: single grape wines and examples of small productions. We have picked the best tapas and complimentary pairing of wines in this magical evening setup at Beachboard Hacienda.

To conclude the perfect week, on the last evening we will celebrate the end of the camp with barbecue evening accompanied by hand-picked Tenerife wines.

TO WHOM?
To people who love beach volleyball and wine. This camp is for lower level (recreational and intermediate players) and upper level (recreational, intermediate, upper intermediate and competitive) beach volleyball players.
Lower levels
You are an amateur player who is eager to improve your skills and move on to the next level! You already understand the idea but you are still learning how to play 2vs2 games. All the basic touches need more practicing and confidence.
Main focus in the practices will be improving techniques, getting more ball control and understanding the game dynamics better.
Upper levels
On an upper level you have already some years of experience from beach volleyball. 2 vs 2 games are flowing smoothly and you are able to attack and serve towards targeted areas. You use block-defense in your game.
Join the training week as an individual player, with your family or collect your own group. Don’t worry if you don’t have your own group, we will divide the groups based on the levels of the players. Maximum number of players for each training group is 8.
Please note that this camp is for adults only.
