Lanzarote now has nearly 2,000 hectares of active vineyards, which is close to 5,000 acres. For an island that is only 862km2 this is a sizeable proportion of our available land space.
The vineyards are concentrated in the central area of La Geria but also across the different municipalities, the old and new capitals of Teguise & Arrecife are the only areas without a vineyard.
This map produced by the Vinos Denominación de Origen Lanzarote highlights 17 bodegas producing a range of wines in Lanzarote. Their motto is “Esencia de Volcán en tu copa” which translates to the essence of volcano in your cup. As you can see from the list below, there are many more bodegas than promoted by the coach tours, we would recommend a visit to one or two during your holiday for a tour and taste, just decide who is the designated driver first!

Many of the restaurants in Lanzarote stock a range of the local wines so if you aren’t planning on leaving the resort during your holiday, you can still sample the wines with tapas or an evening meal.
Lanzarote marks the start of the grape harvest (la vendimia) in Europe due to our climate, the grapes are normally picked during late July / August depending upon the weather. The Fiesta de la Vendimia in honour of the Virgen de la Caridad is normally held in the second week of August where you can watch camels unload their cargo of harvested grapes, then kick off your shoes and join in the fun of crushing them with your feet.
