The delightful trails of Albariño
I offer several options that cover this unique wine region. These food and wine tours take you to the Salnés Valley, where most of the Albariño cellars, under the appellation of origin Rías Baixas, are located, thus giving distinctive characteristics to the wines produced here.
The influence of the Atlantic combined with the specific characteristics of the Albariño grapes, grown in “parras” (a canopy-style system to lift the vines from the ground) make these wines unique.
The maturation of the grapes and their harvesting, very different from the vines in other parts of the world, obliges the grower to do all the work manually.
The Albarino Wine Tour includes a visit to several wineries of different sizes, all of which belong to the Rias Baixas denomination of origin.
You will have the opportunity to speak directly with the winemakers, taste their wines (tasting fees included), listen to their opinions and hear about their wine-making techniques that make their wines so different from the rest.
Also, as part of the tour, we will enjoy lunch in a typical Galician furancho (included in the price). Furanchos are private homes in the Salnés wine-making area that serve homemade wine and food in a very relaxed atmosphere.
