Dit kun je verwachten

Toen na zes lange jaren de uitbarstingen van Timanfaya in 1736 eindelijk stopten, dachten de boeren van La Geria dat hun vruchtbare land voor altijd verloren was onder een dikke laag as. Maar de lokale families hadden geen keus, ze moesten het land weer productief maken. En door hard werken en vastberadenheid slaagden ze erin om de wijngaarden van La Geria te creëren.

Je begint met een schilderachtige wandeling door de privé wijngaarden die in het bezit zijn van de bodega van Nacho Romero. Deze zijn exclusief geopend voor National Geographic reizigers.

De wijngaarden worden omringd door vulkanen. En terwijl je het opmerkelijke landschap in je opneemt, legt de eigenaar uit hoe de laag vulkanische as, lokaal bekend als 'picón', de teeltmethoden heeft beïnvloed. Deze methoden zijn uniek in de wereld. Als je het geluk hebt dat de druiven rijp zijn, pluk je ze rechtstreeks van de wijnstok. Ondertussen vertelt Nacho of zijn vrouw Luisa, allebei wijnmakers, je meer over de bijzondere kenmerken van vulkanische wijn. Terug in de bodega proef je een van de ambachtelijke wijnen die Nacho en Luisa in hun eigen wijnmakerij produceren.

Vervolgens ga je naar Bodega La Geria - een ander belangrijk onderdeel van de ecologische wijnbeweging. De wijnmaker zelf leidt je rond door de bodega. Je ontdekt de geheimen van de halfronde stenen muren, 'zocos' genaamd, die de wijnstokken beschutten tegen de wind. En je komt meer te weten over de verschillende druivensoorten die goed gedijen in het vulkanische terroir van Lanzarote. Tot slot proef je een van de beroemde wijnen van het landgoed samen met lokale kaas en crackers.

There's also a petting farm, pony rides, a medicine man's cave and an Indian Village where the kids can play in wigwams, paddle kayaks and even pan for gold at a working wooden waterwheel.But the biggest draws are probably the shows.

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

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

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.
