La Geria Wine Route: Wineries & Tours
Plan Lanzarote's volcanic wine route through La Geria, choose winery visits responsibly and combine the landscape with Timanfaya.

Why La Geria looks different
After historic eruptions covered farmland with volcanic material, growers dug pits to reach soil below. The lapilli helps retain scarce moisture, while semicircular stone walls protect each vine from wind. The result is both a working agricultural system and one of Lanzarote's defining landscapes.
How much winery visits cost in 2026
Most bodegas sell wine without charging for a shop visit or a brief look at the vineyard, while structured tastings usually run from around €10 to €25 per person depending on the number of wines and whether food is included. The big-name wineries with museums and caves are the ones that charge. Always reserve guided or group experiences directly, because walk-in capacity is limited even in low season.
Which bodegas are worth the detour
El Grifo, near the route's southern end, is one of Spain's oldest wineries and runs a small ethnographic museum with its entrance fee, which makes it a good first stop to understand how the landscape works. Bodegas Rubicón and Stratvs are other well-known stops with different formats: a fine-dining restaurant in one case, an underground winery tour in the other. None of them needs to be repeated — pick one or two that match your pace rather than racing through all three.
How to plan the wine route
The most recognisable route follows the inland road between Monumento al Campesino and Uga, passing vineyard viewpoints and several bodegas. Choose two or three purposeful stops rather than rushing every tasting room. Check opening times and reserve guided winery visits directly because access and languages vary.
Driving and responsible tasting
The road is scenic but narrow in places and stopping casually on verges can be unsafe. Use designated parking at wineries and viewpoints. If you plan more than a courtesy sample, nominate a driver or book a guided experience. Confirm whether any tour advertises a formal tasting or only a brief winery stop.
Combine La Geria with Timanfaya
La Geria fits naturally after a morning timed entry at Montañas del Fuego, followed by El Golfo or Los Hervideros. Secure Timanfaya first because it has fixed entry slots, then reserve a winery visit that leaves realistic driving time between stops.
Frequently asked questions
Do you need to book La Geria wineries?
Casual shop or bar visits may accept walk-ins, but guided tours and structured tastings should be reserved directly with the winery.
Can La Geria and Timanfaya be visited in one day?
Yes. They form a natural south-west itinerary, but book the fixed Timanfaya slot first and build the winery timing around it.
What wine is Lanzarote known for?
Malvasía Volcánica is the island's signature grape, alongside other local varieties cultivated under the Lanzarote denomination of origin.
