Albariño wine tasting from Vigo: Two wineries and lunch

Taste wines directly from the winemakers who make them

A private wine tour from Vigo into the Salnés Valley visits two wineries of the Rías Baixas appellation, where you taste Albariño and talk to the winemakers about their techniques. The tour runs eight hours with a multilingual guide, transport by private vehicle, and lunch at a traditional furancho with homemade wine and local dishes. Minimum age is 18.

The experience

Most Albariño cellars under the Rías Baixas denomination sit in the Salnés Valley, where the Atlantic influence and the distinctive "parras" canopy growing system give the wines their character. Your guide Juanjo picks two wineries (ranging from large operations to smaller producers), so you see different approaches to the same wine. At each one you talk to the winemakers directly, taste their wines, and hear the techniques that set them apart.

Lunch happens at a furancho, a traditional spot that once operated clandestinely as a wine producer. You eat local dishes and drink homemade wine, the kind served to people who know the place. The eight-hour tour includes pickup from Vigo by private vehicle, water, and a photographic memento of the day.
