Step-by-step itinerary

Hiking and wine tasting in La Geria

• Walk 8.9km through La Geria vineyards
• Visit Bodega Rubicon winery
• Try native Volcanic Malvasia wine
• Enjoy traditional wine and cheese on terrace

The experience

La Geria's vineyards exist because Lanzarote's farmers engineered a solution to volcanic catastrophe. The walk takes you through the result: vines planted in volcanic ash and protected by low stone walls, a landscape that looks like nowhere else. Your guide leads a small group on an easy-to-moderate hike of roughly 9 kilometers, moving through the terrain at a pace that lets you understand how the system works. The ash holds moisture, the walls trap wind, the arrangement turns barren ground into productive land. Bottled water and a snack bag come along.

The walk ends at Bodega Rubicón, one of the island's oldest wineries, housed in a traditional Lanzarote landlord's house. The building itself is part of the story. Here you sit on a terrace and taste Volcanic Malvasia, the native grape grown in those same vineyards you just walked through, paired with local cheese. The wines from Bodega Rubicón have won international awards. This is the moment the hike becomes concrete: the effort connects directly to what you taste.

Hotel or port pickup is included if you're staying in Costa Teguise, Arrecife, Puerto del Carmen or Puerto Calero. If you're elsewhere on the island, contact the operator before booking about transport arrangements. The guide may speak multiple languages, and the tour runs regardless of weather, so pack layers and appropriate footwear. Cruise passengers need to provide ship name, docking time and re-boarding time at booking so the return timing holds.

Top questions

Live guide in English, Spanish and French.

How difficult is the La Geria vineyard hike?

The hike is easy to moderate intensity, covering roughly 9 kilometers over about 5 hours including transport and the tasting. It's designed for small groups with at least moderate fitness, and the pace allows time to take in the volcanic landscape and how the vineyards are arranged.

What exactly is Volcanic Malvasia wine?

Volcanic Malvasia is the native grape variety grown in La Geria's volcanic ash soil. Bodega Rubicón, where you taste it, produces award-winning wines from this grape: the variety thrives in the unique conditions created by the volcanic terrain and the farmers' stone-wall system.

Hotel pickup and drop-off are included if you're staying in Costa Teguise, Arrecife, Puerto del Carmen or Puerto Calero. If your accommodation is elsewhere, contact the operator before booking to arrange transport. Cruise ship passengers should provide ship details at checkout so the return timing aligns with your re-boarding.

Can I do this tour without the hotel pickup?

Yes, one option includes pickup, and one does not. If you arrange your own transport to the meeting point, you can book the no-pickup version at checkout.
