El Grifo

Lanzarote


Founded in 1775, El Grifo is the oldest winery in the Canaries and also one of Spain's most ancient, its distinctive logo designed by Manrique himself. You can sample a range of wines (including malvasía; three/six wines with cheese €8/14) in the evocative tasting room, then stroll among the vines and explore the museum of 19th- and 20th-century winemaking equipment. Tours (€9 to €13) run throughout the day; book ahead. It's just beyond the northeastern end of Masdache.
