Bodega Rubicón

Lanzarote


In the shade of a towering eucalyptus, Rubicón occupies part of a former 17th-century cortijo (farmhouse), which now also includes a good Canarian restaurant (mains €12 to €15). Wines available for tasting in the bodega include an exceptional award-winning muscatel. One-hour guided tours (€13.90), with two wines to taste, are offered Monday to Saturday; book ahead. It's 4.5km northeast of Uga.
