Couple questions: Food and romance
Does Morocco make its own wine?
Yes. Morocco is a wine-producing country, and its main wine region lies on the plains around Meknes, in the Guerrouane and Zaër appellations. The reds and rosés from there go well with rich tagines. Good riads, palace hotels and licensed restaurants carry Moroccan wine on their lists.

The short answer
Yes. Morocco is a wine-producing country, and its main wine region lies on the plains around Meknes, in the Guerrouane and Zaër appellations. The reds and rosés from there go well with rich tagines. Good riads, palace hotels and licensed restaurants carry Moroccan wine on their lists.
In more detail
Our dining guide describes the Meknes area as the heart of the country's wine production. If you are curious, a pairing dinner or a quiet visit to wine country can be built into a route that passes Meknes and Fes.
Wine in Morocco is served gracefully where it is served, and never pushed on anyone. You will not find it in local cafés or traditional homes. The licensed hotel or restaurant is where it belongs.
For a celebration, a bottle of Moroccan wine can be waiting at sunset on your terrace, or poured at a desert camp. Better camps keep a cellar but serve wine on request, so ask us to arrange it beforehand.
Our honeymoon guide lists a bottle of Moroccan wine at sunset among the touches we coordinate with riads and camps, alongside rose petals on arrival and a rooftop dinner.
Good to know
- Try a Moroccan red with lamb and prunes.
- Ask for wine at the camp when you book, not on arrival.
- Meknes sits about an hour from Fes, which makes wine country an easy detour.
