La Geria - Wines

In the heart of Lanzarote.

How can the dry island of Lanzarote produce its excellent sweet white wines?

The answer is the 'geria', a conical hole dug in natural layers of volcanic gravel several meters deep, in the center of which a vine is planted, and on the edge of which a crescent of rocks is placed as protection against the wind. . Row after row of these perfect cavities stained in green, ocher and black produce a unique landscape in the world, which helped justify the declaration of Lanzarote as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO.


Internationally recognized wineries and wines

Although fruit trees such as fig trees are also grown through this system, the star of the gerias is the vine. In the Protected Landscape of La Geria there are numerous wineries that sell internationally award-winning wines, such as some famous Malvasia wines. Beneath these spectacular vineyards lies another natural gem, the 1,600-meter-long Los Naturalistas cave. The grotto is accessible with caution and a good flashlight to illuminate the many small lava needles emerging from its ceiling.
