Details

Discover the taste of Albariño wine from the Rías Baixas region of Galicia.


On this tour, you will be taken through the modern wine making process, where you will learn about the history of this white grape varietal. You will also experience the flavour of this seafood-friendly wine, which bursts with fragrant aromas of apples, peaches, pears and citrus.

Given the region’s coastal location, Albariño wine is perfectly paired with seafood and fish, but works equally well with cheese, poultry and pork. This tour will take you from the winery to the table with tastings at 2 vineyards and a shared tapas lunch at a local restaurant.
