Tegueste’s economy has historically been centered around agriculture, with wine production playing a particularly important role. The fertile soils of the region make it an ideal location for growing grapes, and the town is part of the Tenerife Wine Route, which highlights its wineries and vineyards. The area is famous for its whites and reds, and wine tastings are a popular activity for visitors.
In recent years, tourism has become a growing sector, as more people discover the charms of Tegueste’s natural beauty and cultural richness. The town is home to various small businesses, many of which focus on artisanal products, from local crafts to organic produce.
While agriculture and wine production remain economic mainstays, Tegueste’s hospitality industry is gradually expanding to accommodate the rise in eco-tourism and outdoor adventure tourism, making it an exciting area for investment and development.
