Do this because
Admire the uniqueness of the landscape of La Geria, a legacy left to the local farmers by a series of volcanic eruptions, and taste what are considered to be among the world's oldest grapes – Malvasia volcanica.
Led by two local winemakers, learn about the traditional cultivation methods of La Geria, unique in the world and still being preserved.
On your exclusive visit to the private vineyards of the Nacho Romero estate, which are not open to any other groups, one of the owners and winemakers will lead a walk around their vineyards introducing the local grape varieties and offering a taste of their artisanal wine.
Local wine and cheese tasting session at La Geria winery, which takes place in an exclusive area of the bodega while the winemaker explains Lanzarote's wine legacy in detail.
Learn how TUI Care Foundation has been involved in the conservation and support of this unique method of wine cultivation in Lanzarote, an island declared UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
What to expect
When Timanfaya's six long years of eruptions ceased in 1736, the farmers of La Geria believed their fertile lands were lost forever under a thick layer of ash. But the local families needed to make the land productive again, and through sheer hard work and determination, they succeeded in creating the vineyards of La Geria.
You'll start off with a scenic walk, following trails through private vineyards belonging to the family-owned bodega of Nacho Romero, opened exclusively for National Geographic travellers.
As you soak up the unique character of these landscapes where vineyards are surrounded by volcanoes, the owner will explain how the layer of volcanic ash, known locally as ‘picón,' has shaped their cultivation methods, which are unique in the world. If you are lucky enough to find them ripe, you might even get to pick grapes straight from the vine as you hear Nacho or his wife Luisa, both winemakers, talk about the characteristics of volcanic wine. Back at the bodega after the walk, you'll be able to sample one of the artisanal wines that Nacho and Luisa make in their home winery.
Next, you'll head to Bodega La Geria – another important component of the ecological wine making movement. The winemaker himself will show you around the bodega. Find out the secrets of the hollows, called ‘zocos' which shelter the vines from the wind, and discover the different varieties of grapes that thrive in Lanzarote's volcanic terroir. To finish, savour a tasting of one of the estate's renowned wines with local cheese and crackers.

Die Tour war echt gut. Aber warum wurden wir nicht an unserem Hotel abgeholt. Wir waren die einzigen Gäste aus Playa Blanca. Und mussten zu Fuß eine viertel Stunde zu einem anderen Hotel gehen. Die Guide war wirklich gut ?? präpariert und das Programm war wirklich exzellent.

Great
Super Tour. Aber für die Leistung dann doch sehr teuer. Am Ende ist es nur ein Spaziergang und 4 Gläser Wein dazu. Nachgeschenkt wird hat nicht und es soll schon etwas verkauft werden. Etwas schade. Die guides waren aber sehr gut
