Cuando en 1736 cesaron los seis largos años de erupciones del Timanfaya, los agricultores de La Geria creyeron que sus fértiles tierras se habían perdido para siempre bajo una gruesa capa de ceniza. Pero las familias locales necesitaban hacer que la tierra volviera a ser productiva y, a base de trabajo duro y determinación, consiguieron crear los viñedos de La Geria.
Empezarás con un paseo panorámico, recorriendo senderos a través de viñedos privados pertenecientes a la bodega familiar de Nacho Romero, abiertos en exclusiva para los visitantes de National Geographic.
Mientras te empapas del carácter excepcional de estos paisajes en los que los viñedos están rodeados de volcanes, el propietario te explicará cómo la capa de ceniza volcánica, conocida localmente como «picón», ha moldeado sus métodos de cultivo, únicos en el mundo. Si tienes la suerte de encontrarlas maduras, incluso podrás recoger uvas directamente de la vid mientras Nacho o su mujer, Luisa, ambos enólogos, te habla de las peculiares características del vino volcánico. Ya de vuelta tras el paseo, podrás probar uno de los vinos artesanales que Nacho y Luisa elaboran en su bodega casera.
A continuación, te dirigirás a la bodega La Geria, otro elemento importante del movimiento para la elaboración de vinos ecológicos. El enólogo en persona te mostrará la bodega. Descubrirás los secretos de los «zocos» que protegen las viñas del viento y las distintas variedades de uva que prosperan en el terruño volcánico de Lanzarote. Para terminar, catarás uno de los vinos populares de la finca, acompañado con queso local y galletas saladas.

Nat Geo Day Tour: La Geria, Vineyards that Sprouted from Fire
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.
