Lanzarote has never ceased to surprise me with its wine bars. The island’s volcanic soil produces Malvasía wines that are second to none – mineral-rich, full of character and unmistakable. This is precisely what is reflected in the best establishments, where local wines take centre stage. Anyone wishing to discover the 10 best wine bars on Lanzarote will find places that offer far more than just wine: they are a vibrant expression of an island culture that transforms volcanic ash into liquid gold.
Malvasía, tapas and volcanic soil: Lanzarote’s wine culture
Anyone wishing to enjoy authentic food and drink in Lanzarote’s wine bars should bear in mind a few basic rules. The ‚menú del día‘ is available at lunchtime between 2 pm and 4 pm for between 10 and 14 euros – a three-course meal including a drink, often a glass of local Malvasía. In the evenings, it gets more expensive and busier; bookings are particularly advisable in August or over Easter. In smaller bodegas away from the tourist areas, a knowledge of Spanish is helpful, as menus are sometimes available exclusively in Spanish. Paying in cash is often preferred in traditional establishments.
