Lanzarote: El Grifo Wine Lovers Tours at Bodegas El Grifo

Lanzarote El Grifo Wine Lovers Tours

Discover the oldest winery in the Canary Islands with this exclusive guided tour of El Grifo in San Bartolomé. Founded in 1775, this historic estate offers you an intimate look at Lanzarote's unique winemaking heritage through small group tours limited to just ten visitors.

Your wine tour begins with a welcome glass of sparkling Malvasía Brut Nature before exploring the renowned Vineyard of the Impossible. Walk through centuries-old chabocos shaped by volcanic soil and learn how El Grifo's winemakers have mastered the art of cultivating vines on Lanzarote's challenging terrain. You'll visit the original 1775 winepress, see the founding plaque, and gain exclusive access to the Family House and private library inaugurated by Nobel laureate José Saramago.

The tour combines historical exploration with modern winemaking techniques as you visit both the traditional facilities and contemporary installations. Throughout your visit, you'll taste six carefully selected El Grifo wines, with two samples served during the vineyard walk to enhance your appreciation of their unique setting and heritage.
