LA GERIA
Discover a unique landscape
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VINEYARD IN THE WORLD
In the heart of Lanzarote, a landscape opens up that seems from another planet: La Geria .
A sea of volcanic cones, black sand, and endless rows of green vines, where each plant grows protected by a small stone wall.
This landscape, declared a Protected Natural Area of the Canary Islands in 1994, is unique in the world. It is the fruit of the ingenuity and perseverance of Lanzarote farmers, who with patience and love for the land have transformed the volcanic rock into the cradle of some of the finest wines in the Canary Islands.
Here, each vineyard tells a story . The vines are grown in pits dug in the picón (a type of pit) field, a centuries-old technique that harnesses the exceptional properties of volcanic ash. This porous material acts like a natural sponge, absorbing moisture from night dew and retaining it underground, allowing the roots to hydrate even in an arid climate without irrigation.
The dry stone walls surrounding each plant protect the vines from the trade winds and intense sun, creating an ideal microclimate that promotes slow, balanced grape ripening.
The result is wines with a volcanic character, intense mineral aromas, and unmistakable freshness and elegance.
At La Geria, each vine is an act of resistance, each glass is a story of volcano and wind, and each visit is an experience that connects the visitor with the deepest soul of Lanzarote.
VISITING LA GERIA IS MORE THAN JUST ADMIRING A LANDSCAPE
You can explore La Geria by car, bicycle, or hike through its unique vineyards carved from volcanic ash. Along the way, you'll discover centuries-old wineries where wine is still made using traditional methods. You can participate in guided tastings , visit ancient wineries , and admire the landscape from natural viewpoints that demonstrate the perfect harmony between man and the volcano.
Let yourself be seduced by the aromas and flavors of Malvasía Volcánica , enjoy a wine pairing experience with local products such as cheeses or artisanal mojos, or sign up for a wine tour at sunset, when the volcanic cones take on golden hues and the vineyards are surrounded by calm.
La Geria is not just a landscape: it's a sensorial and cultural experience. Each glass tells a story of effort, identity, and respect for the land.
Let yourself be carried away by the magic of this protected corner and feel how time stops with every sip and every step.
La Geria, the volcanic soul of Lanzarote, awaits you.
LIVE AN UNFORGETTABLE WINE EXPERIENCE
Let yourself be enveloped by the magic of this unique corner of Lanzarote, where the protected landscape of La Geria becomes a scene that seems to stand still. Among slopes covered in volcanic ash, the characteristic "hojos en picón" (picón holes) open up, cavities that jealously guard the life of each vine. These vineyards, embraced by dry stone walls that protect them from the wind, are a living testament to the union between human ingenuity and the power of nature.
Walking along its paths, contemplating the contrast between the black volcanic landscape, the intense green of the vines and the horizon bathed in sunlight, is like entering a cultural landscape unique in the world .
In this exceptional setting, wines with an unmistakable personality are born, made with native varieties such as Malvasía Volcánica, Listán Negro, Moscatel de Alejandría, and Diego. Each glass reflects the essence of the island and the mineral character of its soil.
