Lanzarote Wineries: Which Bodegas To Visit And What To Expect

Lanzarote has 41 registered bodegas, but only a handful open their doors to visitors. This Lanzarote Wine Tours guide covers the ones you can actually walk into, what a tasting costs at each, and whether you need to book ahead. Prices and opening hours below are what the wineries themselves publish; where a bodega does not list prices online, expect to pay at the door.

What Are The Best Wineries On Lanzarote?

Five bodegas on Lanzarote regularly welcome visitors: El Grifo, Bodega La Geria, Bodegas Rubicón, Bodega Stratvs, and Los Bermejos. El Grifo offers the most polished experience with a museum and multiple tour levels; Rubicón is the easiest to drop into with free access and daily guided tours; Los Bermejos has the lowest barrier to entry with a simple terrace tasting and no booking needed.

Lanzarote's wine country centres on La Geria, a protected landscape of ash-covered vineyards between Timanfaya and the island's interior. Most of the wineries that take visitors sit along or just off the LZ-30 wine road, making a self-guided tasting loop easy to plan. The five bodegas below are the ones where you will find a tasting room, a guided tour, or at least a counter pour, and each brings a different style to the table.

El Grifo dates itself to 1775, by the inscription on its own wine press, and calls itself one of the ten oldest wineries in Spain. Its wine museum sits inside the original 18th-century press house, and the guided tours range from a 45-minute audio walk to a two-hour Wine Lovers experience with six wines and cheese. You can read a full breakdown on our El Grifo winery guide.

Bodega La Geria is the winery with the view: its bar-cafeteria looks straight across the ash pits to the volcanoes of Timanfaya. The guided tours walk you through the vineyards and the winery, but they go on sale only 12 days ahead and the terrain is not suitable for anyone with walking difficulties. For a broader look at the landscape, see our La Geria wine region guide.

Bodegas Rubicón is the easiest winery to visit on a whim. The estate is open daily from 10:00 to 19:00 with free access, so you can stroll the century-old vines and the courtyard without spending a cent. Its two guided tours, "Entre Muros y Viñedos Centenarios" (€22) and "El Legado Rubicón" (€40), run at set times and include tastings paired with island cheeses.

Bodega Stratvs, built around a 1730 Canarian house in Uga, runs daily one-hour tours that end with a tasting of three wines and artisan cheeses from Finca de Uga. The on-site restaurant serves lunch from 12:30 to 19:00, and on Saturdays you can book a Sound Pairing experience that matches music to the wines.

Los Bermejos keeps things simple: the terrace tasting runs weekday mornings with no appointment, and a glass costs €3.50 with a small cheese cap. The guided visit, booked in advance, walks you through the press room and barrel hall before a two-wine tasting on the terrace for €21 per person.

Which Lanzarote Wineries Can You Visit Without A Booking?

Los Bermejos is the only bodega that explicitly welcomes walk-ins for a terrace tasting, no appointment needed, from €3.50 a glass. Bodegas Rubicón offers free access to its facilities daily and its guided tours can often be booked on the day if space permits, but groups are capped at 12, so calling ahead is wise. Every other winery requires or strongly recommends a reservation.

Walk-in culture on Lanzarote is limited. Most bodegas are working wineries first and tourist attractions second, so staffing a tasting counter all day is not the norm. Los Bermejos opens its terrace from Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 15:00, and you can simply turn up, order a glass, and sit among the vines. It is the cheapest and most spontaneous tasting on the island.

Bodegas Rubicón straddles the line: the estate is open to walk-ins every day from 10:00 to 19:00, and you can wander the grounds and the shop without a ticket. The guided tours, however, run at fixed times (13:30 daily for the standard tour, 12:00 on Mondays and Fridays for the premium one) and take a maximum of 12 people. If the group is not full, you can often join on the spot, but during busy months booking ahead is the safer bet.

Every other visitable bodega expects you to reserve. El Grifo sells its experiences online and its small-group tours fill quickly. Bodega La Geria releases tour slots only 12 days in advance, and they disappear fast in peak season. Stratvs asks you to book through its website or by phone. If you are planning a multi-winery day, a guided tour that handles the bookings for you removes the risk of arriving to a closed door.

If you would rather let someone else handle the logistics, these three tours visit multiple wineries and include transport.

How Much Does A Winery Tasting Cost In Lanzarote?

Tasting prices range from €3.50 for a single glass at Los Bermejos to €95 for a full tour and lunch at El Grifo. Most guided tastings with two or three wines and some cheese cost between €15 and €40 per person. Walk-in counter pours are the cheapest; multi-course gastronomic experiences sit at the top end.

Lanzarote tasting fees are modest by European wine-tourism standards. A simple self-guided visit with a couple of pours starts around €15, while a full guided tour with a flight of wines and local cheese rarely exceeds €50. The table below breaks down what each winery charges at the door.

Two wineries do not publish their tasting prices online: Bodega La Geria and Bodega Stratvs. In both cases the cost sits behind a booking widget or is given when you call. That is common on the island, and it means the best way to lock in a price is to book a packaged tour that bundles several tastings into one upfront cost.

A multi-winery tour like the Three Wineries, Six Wines experience bundles several tastings and transport for a set price, which often works out cheaper than driving yourself and paying individually.

If you prefer a more structured day, a guided tour bundles several wineries into one booking and often includes lunch, so you never have to worry about opening hours or driving limits. The next section explains exactly what a guided winery visit includes at each bodega.

What Does A Guided Winery Tour Include?

Guided tours usually walk you through the vineyards, the press room, and the barrel hall, then finish with a tasting of two or three wines paired with local goat cheese. El Grifo's Wine Lovers tour adds the museum; the gastronomy version adds lunch. Rubicón's premium tour includes a tank sample. Los Bermejos' tour is shorter and more informal, ending on the terrace.

No two bodegas structure their visits the same way, but the rhythm is consistent: you start among the vines, move through the production area, and finish with a tasting. The table below shows exactly what each winery includes in its standard guided tour.

El Grifo's Wine Lovers tour is the most complete option on the island. Over two hours you see the 18th-century press, the barrel room, and the museum, then sit down to six wines paired with local cheese. El Grifo caps its own tour at 12 people, adults only; the bookable listing holds 10. You can book the El Grifo bodega experience directly through the live listing.

Rubicón's premium tour, El Legado Rubicón, is the only one that includes a tank sample, a taste of wine straight from the vat before bottling. It runs only on Mondays and Fridays at 12:00 and costs €40 per person.

Los Bermejos keeps things simpler. The guided visit lasts about 40 minutes and you pick two wines from the list to taste on the terrace. It is the most relaxed and least scripted tour on the island, and at €21 it is also one of the most affordable.

When Are Lanzarote Wineries Open?

Most bodegas open daily from around 10:00 to 19:00, though El Grifo closes earlier for visits at 17:15 and Los Bermejos only opens weekday mornings for sales and tastings. Guided tours run at set times: Rubicón's tours leave at 13:30 daily and 12:00 on Mondays and Fridays, while El Grifo's tours operate on a schedule you choose when booking.

Lanzarote wineries keep hours that suit the island's rhythm. Most open around 10:00 and close by 19:00, but there are important exceptions. The table below lists the current opening days and hours for each visitable bodega.

El Grifo closes on weekends, which catches some visitors out. If your only free day is Saturday or Sunday, head to Rubicón, La Geria, or Stratvs instead. Los Bermejos is strictly weekday mornings, so it works best as a first stop on a Monday-to-Friday itinerary.

If you are planning a full day that includes lunch, Stratvs is the only bodega with a proper restaurant open daily, and its Sound Pairing on Saturdays adds a sensory twist. A tour like the Four Wineries, Brunch and Tapas experience builds a meal into the route, so you never have to choose between tasting and eating.

How To Plan A Winery-Hopping Day In La Geria

Start at Bodegas Rubicón for a morning tour and a free walk around the estate, then drive north on the LZ-30 to Bodega La Geria for lunch with volcano views, and finish at El Grifo for a late-afternoon museum visit and tasting. If you are not driving, a guided tour like the Four Wineries, Brunch and Tapas tour covers four stops and includes food.

La Geria is compact. The five visitable wineries sit within a 15-minute drive of one another along the LZ-30, so you can comfortably visit three in a day without rushing. The classic route works south to north: start at Rubicón in the morning, where the 13:30 tour gives you time to wander the free-access grounds first. Then drive 10 minutes north to Bodega La Geria for a late lunch on the terrace, with Timanfaya's volcanoes as the backdrop. Finish at El Grifo before its 17:15 last entry for the museum and a guided tasting.

If you would rather not drive, Spain's drink-drive limit is 0.25 mg/l of breath, lower than the UK's 0.35, and a tasting flight across several wineries will not leave most people comfortably under it. A guided tour with transport removes the problem entirely. The driving the La Geria wine route guide covers the self-drive option in detail; for a no-worries day, the tours below handle the driving, the bookings, and the tasting fees.

The Four Wineries, Brunch and Tapas tour is the most indulgent option, covering four stops with brunch and a tapas stop at a historic bar. It is a full-day experience that leaves nothing to chance and includes pickup from all major resorts.

Visitors often ask about booking rules, family access, and how many wineries they can fit into a day. The short answers: most bodegas require reservations, children are welcome at some but not all tastings, and three wineries is a comfortable number for a day trip.
