This exclusive transfer to Lanzarote's biggest and tastiest food festival offers all the ingredients for a great day out, with a side order of local specialities and great wine. For one day only, the colonial village of Teguise becomes the island's culinary capital. Rosa, one of our expert local guides, says "the Saborea Lanzarote festival is a unique gathering of top-notch chefs, mouth-watering tapas, and locally produced wines – a truly unrivalled mix. It's a must-visit event at the Canaries' most important gastronomic celebration."
After pickup, we'll head on a scenic drive to Teguise – a whitewashed hamlet nestled in the heart of the island. This idyllic village is a joy to wander around at the best of times, but when it comes to Saborea Lanzarote, which translates to Taste Lanzarote, it's even better. Browse the stalls and take in the aromas – you'll see the likes of home-grown potatoes from Los Valles, prawns from La Santa, hake from La Graciosa, all cultivated and harvested sustainably. There'll be plenty of opportunities to try local delicacies, and if you get a taste for them, you can purchase products directly from the very hands that nurtured them – the producers, fishermen, and farmers themselves.
If you love good food and fine wines in a beautiful setting, this event will not disappoint. With an impressive line-up of 60 restaurants, 12 wineries, and six cheesemakers, you'll be spoilt for choice on where to start. So if you're lucky enough to be in Lanzarote on November 23rd, make sure to book early as this is a very popular and in-demand activity.
