Local wine experts Vino&Co - located in Can Bellotera, on the Ibiza Town to San Jose Road, were the originators of this popular tradition that has come to be nothing less than an institution for those living on the island. And what better, more invigorating way could there be to immerse yourself in the New Year than by joining them for a refreshing dip in the Mediterranean followed by wine and bubbly?

With drinks provided on the house, all you need to take part is bring your swim gear and something to eat to share with everyone present.

Bring the whole family along (plus those still recovering from the night before!) for this wholesome social occasion. Even dogs are welcome, but make sure they are under your control.

See link for times. This eco-conscious affair makes full use of biodegradable plates, cutlery and cups. Afterwards, there is a beach cleanup that anyone can join in.
