Wine lovers can follow the La Geria wine route, stopping to visit the vineyards and enjoy wine tasting at the bodegas (wineries) along the way. La Geria is best known for its white wines and popular wineries include the family-run Bodega La Geria, Lanzarote’s oldest winery Bodegas El Grifo, and Bodega Los Bermejos, one of the few wineries that produces red wines.
A highlight of tours is the chance to walk around the vineyards and learn about the traditional grape-growing methods. Each vine is planted in a zoco—individual 3-foot (1-meter) deep pits, protected from the elements by a semi-circular stone wall—which helps to draw and maintain moisture in the fertile volcanic soil. Lanzarote sightseeing tours and day trips often include a winery visit and wine tasting in La Geria, typically en route to the neighboring Timanfaya National Park.
