Fiesta de la Vendimia 2026

To speak of Germán is to speak of one of the professionals who have helped drive Lanzarote's gastronomy forward and give it the standing it deserves over the past decades. A career built at the stove, on a deep knowledge of produce and on a very personal way of interpreting Canarian cooking — always rooted in the land and in quality.

For over a decade he led the kitchen at Amura, before beginning a new chapter at the helm of La Tegala, where he continued to develop a cuisine shaped by local produce, the seasons and a contemporary reading of our cooking. A path that saw him named Best Chef in the Canary Islands in 2015 and established him as one of the leading figures in the islands' restaurant scene.

Today, as executive chef at Brisa Marina in Playa Blanca, he continues to develop that way of understanding gastronomy together with his team: technique, sensitivity and respect for produce that speaks of the sea, the land and Lanzarote. Work recognised in 2026, when Brisa Marina was named Best Restaurant at the 41st National Gastronomy Awards of Diario de Avisos.

Beyond the accolades, in Germán and the Brisa Marina team we value the craft, the experience and the ability to turn local produce into a cuisine with an identity of its own. A philosophy that connects naturally with our own way of understanding wine and with the spirit of our Fiesta de la Vendimia: respect the origin, care for every detail, and let the land be the true protagonist.

For all these reasons, we are proud to have Germán Blanco and Restaurante Brisa Marina as patrons of our Menú Vendimia 2026, created especially to accompany our wines and to celebrate a new harvest at such a significant moment for the winery. Our thanks to the whole team for joining this harvest.
