Alors que les six longues années d'éruptions du Timanfaya prenaient fin en 1736, les agriculteurs de La Geria pensaient que leurs terres fertiles étaient perdues à jamais sous une épaisse couche de cendres. Mais l'effort des familles locales à travailler la terre a porté ses fruits, et celle-ci a pu produire à nouveau. À force de travail et de détermination, les habitants sont parvenus à créer les vignobles de La Geria.
Vous commencerez par une belle promenade à pied sur des sentiers à travers des vignobles privés appartenant à la bodega familiale de Nacho Romero, ouverte exclusivement pour les visiteurs du National Geographic.
Alors que vous découvrez le caractère unique de ces paysages où les vignobles sont entourés de volcans, le propriétaire vous expliquera comment la couche de cendres volcaniques, appelée "picón", a façonné leurs méthodes de culture uniques au monde. Si vous avez la chance de les trouver mûrs, vous pourrez même cueillir des raisins directement de la vigne. Pendant ce temps, Nacho ou sa femme Luisa, tous les deux des viticulteurs, vous parleront des caractéristiques qui font la spécificité du vin volcanique. De retour à la cave après la promenade, vous pourrez déguster l'un des vins artisanaux que Nacho et Luisa produit dans sa propre cave.
Vous rejoindrez ensuite la Bodega La Geria, un autre élément important du mouvement de la viticulture écologique. Le vigneron lui-même, vous fera visiter la bodega. Vous découvrirez les secrets des "zocos", ces cratères ou fossettes dans le sable noir qui abritent les vignes du vent, ainsi que les différentes variétés de cépages qui prospèrent dans le terroir volcanique de Lanzarote. L'excursion se termine par une dégustation de l'un des vins renommés du domaine, accompagnée de fromages et de biscuits salés de la région.

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.

Cesar Manrique’s Lanzarote tour with Cactus Garden and LagOmar
With its vine-laden lava fields, exuberant architecture and otherworldly landscapes, Lanzarote looks and feels like something from a sci-fi movie set. This exclusive half-day tour takes in the Cesar Manrique Foundation and his Cactus Garden, followed by a visit to LagOmar. Rosa, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Manrique convinced his fellow islanders to invest in tourism without overdevelopment, making sure any human impact is in harmony with our volcanic landscapes.'Manrique was admired by many in his lifetime, and his influence on Lanzarote's culture lives on. He was a versatile artist producing paintings, sculptures and architectural works, bringing sustainability to the forefront of his creations, long before it became a buzzword. You'll first tour his Jardín de Cactus, where 1,100 species of sculptural succulents are grown. You can see instantly how Manrique's skill and vision enhanced the barren landscape. Similarly, the Fundacion Cesar Manrique demonstrates that harmony between the built environment and nature can succeed. A visit to the artist's home-studio, built into a lava field, is ample proof. Your final stop of the tour will be at LagOmar, a stunning spot that seamlessly combines nature and art. This unique place is set in a volcanic quarry and includes features like a cave-bar, restaurant, and a museum. Local legend has it that Hollywood icon Omar Sharif briefly owned it, only to lose it in a game of cards.

Guided wine-tasting tour of three Lanzarote vineyards
Lanzarote's mineral-rich volcanic soils are the key to its excellent wines. This morning tour takes you to three wineries to sample some of their award-winning organic wines. Plus, you'll also visit the Monumento del Campesino to see the famous farmer's monument. Teresa, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Our island's wines are the fruit of our ingenuity in harnessing the destruction wrought by Mother Nature into an art – a common thread that weaves together islander and landscape.'After pick-up, you'll head straight for the Monumento del Campesino, designed by legendary Lanzarote architect Cesar Manrique. Built in his trademark style that fused whitewashed structures with volcanic bubbles and exotic plants, it's a joy to explore. Then, it's off to the family-owned Bodega La Geria. Here, vines are shielded from the winds by horseshoe-shaped stone walls, while the humidity retained by the ash helps them grow in this harsh climate. Enjoy a guided tour of the winery and taste some of its prized Malvasia wines.Next, just a few volcanoes up the road, is Bodegas El Grifo – the oldest winery in the Canaries. Housed in a colonial-style hacienda surrounded by cacti, it's been producing wines since 1775. Owned by the Garcia Duran family, its wines are regular prize winners. Rounding off the tour is Bodega Suarez, a charming winery that offers visitors an authentic taste of the island's unique wine culture. Here, you'll indulge in the perfect pairing of cheese with two wines.
