El Grifo Wine Museum, is housed in ancient bodegas that date
back to 1775 and were built on top of the solidified lava issued
from the volcanic eruption of that century. A true example of
local architecture, the cellar is marked by the simplicity of
its constructing materials: extraordinary thick walls made of
volcanic stones and plaster combined with ceilings supported
by long wooden beams, mainly coming from ships derelicts. |

The exemplary ethnographic
collection dating from late XIX and early XX century gives
the visitor an opportunity to observe the evolution of
wine making equipment : ancient presses, apparatuses,
bottling tools, pumps and filters, laboratory instruments
as well as old alembics used to distil aqua-vitae.
Cesar Manrique´s monument to the mythological griffin
placed on the road indicates the access to the museum.
