We stopped here for some lunch. We should've avoided it because it's a tourist trap. Went into the bar asked to order but the man said he would come out, in the meantime the wind blew a glass over and smashed it on the ground outside beside where we were sitting, the waiter looked over and must've thought I can't be bothered going back out to clean the glass up or serve those people. We waited for about 20 minutes we just got up and left.

Good semi-dry white wine. Nice staff. The problem was that we wanted to accompany the wine with a snack and they told us that they couldn't offer us anything on the menu, neither hot nor cold, and that they wouldn't replenish the food until the next day.

Wow,, my girlfriend and i visited Bodegas Rubicon recently, its a very nice family run place. The staff are very friendly and the girl that atended us (I belive her name was Patricia) was so knowlagable about their local wines, and i have to say after visiting many bodegas here in Lanzarote i was not planning on trying the red wine. Lanzarote red wine is generally not to my liking if im honest, however Patricia said that if we were lovers of red wine we should try their Rubicon Red Wine and it was beautiful, it is so nice as a wine lover to recieve good advice from people who know what their talking about and have a passion for their work. All in all a great little place to taste wine and Tapas, and you dont have to be an expert to get the most out of the visit, you will be atended by helpful staff and owners that really do know their stuff. Cant wait to go back, this time without the car,, lol.

I really don't like wine but having been dragged here by the missus, I'd probably say that this would be the only place I would buy wine. The semi dulce wine was delicious and it was worth paying 1€ to try it! Looking around the museum was interesting also.
Next time I come back to Lanzarote I will definitely come here again to buy a few more bottles of wine.

We finished our bottle of Rubicon Muscatel last night - just three days after returning from Lanzarote. It is a sweet, clean white wine which was much enjoyed.
In a way it is almost at odds with the terrain from which it was produced. Lava covered soil is dug into hollows for each vine in this area and walls are built around each vine to keep moisture in but allow air circulation.
I had tasted a couple of examples of Lanzarote red made from the Listan Negro grape before heading off the La Geria wine growing area. I had not been impressed. But one of the 1 euro tastings I had was of a version well rounded by time in oak. It encouraged me to try more.
A visit to this bodegas is also a chance to see a restored country house which was devastated by the eruptions of the 1730s. Opened in its current form in the 1970s a visit includes free sight of the old winery, the barrel store and rooms around a courtyard. One startling sight is a meeting room with a glass floor suspended over examples of the wines produced here.
Although an explanatory pamphlet would have been welcomed. the lady conducting our tasting was knowledgeable and helpful. We felt neither rushed nor hassled. The bodega has a policy of private visits. Across the road four coachloads of visitors descended on a rival during our first hour here making us feel privileged. We even managed to get into the "fields" to take pictures of the vines.
An associated restaurant served Canarian dishes which we ate in the sun.

This was part of the Lanzarote island tour, with Thompson. Good wine but only and eggcup full for free then pay to taste any others.
The explanation by the staff was good if a little fast but I guess you have to get everyone in and sorted in a very small amount of time. Liked the fact that there was no hard sell.
After tasting you can stroll around and look at the cellar and press rooms etc. There is a restaurant on site and a lovely little outdoor seating area for a well-earned rest.
The whole area was immaculate and very pretty.

For my money this was the bronze medal winning bodega out of the 11 we visited.
Competent staff, interesting grounds.
Very cheap tasting, just 1e for a half glass (120ml or so)
Much better than the adjacent La Geria tourist busstop bodega.

this whole road is filled with small winery's all much the same. We passed through on route to other places all the time so always stopped at different ones to buy a bottle to try back at the apartment! My personal favorite came from this place!
great driving through and seeing how all the vines are buried in little circles all around the area, very interesting!

The vineyard it's on the road to go to the Timanfaya national park, great place to stop on your way there or back.
We visited the wine store and the old house (there was a little exhibit) and we did a tasting. The wine was very good (in particular the semi-dry) and we had lunch at the restaurant, on the terrace, under old trees with an incredible view of the Lanzarote famous landscape. The food was very good, I definitely recommend the "garbanza" (chickpeas plate) and the local cheeses are very good. For dessert, the moscatel is probably the best sweet wine I've ever had.

We had such a ghastly experience of rude inattention in favour of money-waving souvenir hunters at El Grifo that we walked out in disgust after hanging around for about 10 minutes for our girl to return to us while she dealt with other rude people. We really wanted to taste the wines again after nearly 25 years away from the island (they were really not very good at that time!), so visited Rubicon instead. What a refreshing difference! Lovely welcoming girls, nothing too much trouble, no hassle or charge for looking around and a much less expensive tashing 'deal'.
Lovely bodega. Very interesting and helpful - oh, and the wines are now so much better!
