El Grifo Winery Tour

On this visit to the El Grifo winery, we'll explore one of the oldest wineries in the Canary Islands and discover the effects that volcanic soil can have on wine!

El Grifo Winery

Welcome to the oldest winery in the Canary Islands and one of the oldest in Spain! El Grifo Winery has transformed its land, covered by volcanic lava and sand after the eruption between 1730 and 1736, into an estate with vineyards and fruit trees.

The winery's covered wine press dates back to 1775, and since then, the elements and the expertise of various families have produced renowned wines. El Grifo Winery features 19th-century vines that are hand-harvested, and visitors can explore the museum detailing the history of wine on the island.
