Lanzarote's volcanic wine region is a UNESCO-protected landscape unlike anything in the wine world — individual vines cradled in black lapilli craters, hand-dug by generations of farmers. Taste the island's celebrated Malvasía in the place it was born.
What to expect
You arrive at El Grifo's 18th-century estate surrounded by thousands of crater-vine hollows stretching across black volcanic soil — a sight so dramatic it has UNESCO landscape protection. A sommelier-led tour takes you through the historic bodega and underground barrel cellar before settling into a guided tasting of four to six wines, including the prized aged Malvasía. The on-site wine museum traces 250 years of island viticulture. Pair the tasting with a platter of local cheeses and Canarian mojo sauces for the full sensory experience.
Good to know
La Geria is about 20 minutes from Arrecife port — easily reached by private taxi or hire car. Book the premium tasting directly at elgrifo.com to secure your slot. Combine with a stop at the green lagoon of El Golfo en route back to port for a perfect half-day.
