Museo del Vino El Grifo, Wine museum in San Bartolomé, Spain.
The museum exhibits traditional winemaking tools, including an 1865 shuffling pump, antique grape presses, and an 18th-century copper distiller on volcanic rock foundations.
Founded in 1775, El Grifo stands as the oldest winery in the Canary Islands, with thick walls constructed from volcanic stone and wooden beams from recycled ships.
The barrel-making workshop demonstrates the traditional techniques of crafting vessels for aging Malvasia wine, preserving regional expertise through displayed machinery and instruments.
Visitors can explore the museum from Monday to Friday between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with opportunities for wine tasting sessions in El Salón de la Cata.
The museum collection features a vintage 1956 white wine among its preserved artifacts, alongside contemporary Malvasia Brut and Moscatel varieties for tasting experiences.

Lanzarote is an island in the Canaries shaped by its volcanic past. Timanfaya National Park spreads across a large part of the island, showing black lava fields, craters, and colored rock formations. Volcanoes like El Cuervo, Montaña Colorada, and Caldera Blanca can be hiked. Underground caves such as Cueva de los Verdes and Jameos del Agua lead through lava tunnels formed thousands of years ago. Along the coast, rocks and hardened lava shape coves like Los Hervideros and El Golfo with its green lagoon. Beaches range from the protected bays of Papagayo with pale sand to the long stretch of Famara Beach backed by tall cliffs. In La Geria, vines grow in small hollows covered with volcanic ash, a farming method adapted to the dry conditions. The Cactus Garden near Guatiza displays hundreds of species in a former quarry. Museums like the César Manrique Foundation and LagOmar merge architecture with the landscape. Museo Atlántico sits underwater off Playa Blanca. Traditional sites include Santa Bárbara Castle and San Gabriel Castle, along with the Janubio Salt Flats where salt is still harvested today.
