Run, Sip, Repeat: Experiencing Lanzarote’s Wine Run and More
Lanzarote isn’t just about beaches and volcanic landscapes. In June, this Canary Island blends sport, fun, and tradition. One of the most exciting events of the year is the Wine Run Lanzarote 2025. Imagine running through volcanic vineyards, then tasting the local wine after. That’s the spirit of Lanzarote.
The Wine Run: A Unique Race
Held in La Geria, Lanzarote’s wine region, the Wine Run is more than a competition. Participants can choose between a 10K run or a more relaxed walk. The route goes through surreal terrain—black volcanic soil, green vines, and ocean views. Afterward, local food and wine welcome you at the finish line.
Lanzarote’s Wine Run 2025 takes place June 14–15 in La Geria, a unique volcanic wine region. Choose between a 23 km race, a 13 km fun run, or a walk. There’s even a kids’ run and an inclusive Joëlette option. Over 1,500 runners are already signed up.
This eco-friendly event blends sport with local wine, food, and music. The Wine Festival in Uga features 16 wineries, workshops, and live bands. Proceeds support sustainable farming and community projects. It’s fitness, culture, and flavor—Lanzarote style.
Sip and Celebrate
The event turns into a full weekend celebration. Food stalls feature traditional Canarian dishes like papas arrugadas, grilled fish, and mojos. Local wineries open their cellars, and there’s music and dancing until late. Even if you don’t run, the festival vibe is worth the visit.
Exploring La Geria
La Geria is Lanzarote’s wine country. The vines grow in ash pits protected by stone walls. It’s a landscape like no other. Visiting local wineries—called bodegas—is a must. Try Malvasía wine, famous for its fruity aroma and dry finish. Many bodegas offer tastings and tours.
Nature and Adventure
Besides the Wine Run, June is great for outdoor activities in Lanzarote. Hike through Timanfaya National Park or bike along the coast. Surf in Famara, kayak in Papagayo, or dive near Playa Blanca. The weather is sunny but not too hot, perfect for adventures.
A Few Local Tips
Stay in Yaiza or Tías for easy access to La Geria. Book rental cars early—June gets busy. Don’t skip a sunset at El Golfo or a quiet swim in Charco del Palo. If you’re into art and architecture, visit César Manrique’s house-museum and Jameos del Agua.
Don’t Leave Without Trying...
Local cuisine here is simple but delicious. Try gofio, goat cheese, vieja fish, and bienmesabe for dessert. Pair it with Lanzarote wine, of course. Look for small local restaurants off the tourist path—they often serve the best meals.
Lanzarote’s Secret Energy
Lanzarote’s events blend culture, community, and natural beauty. The Wine Run 2025 is a perfect excuse to visit. Whether you run, walk, or just toast at the finish line, it’s a way to connect with the island in a fun, authentic way.
