Wine tourism in Galicia.

Galicia is the paradise of Atlantic white wine. Its three wine provinces —Pontevedra, Ourense and Lugo— bring together 184 wineries open to visitors and five appellations of origin that make the most of a humid, oceanic climate to produce fresh, aromatic wines with marked acidity.

The albariño of the Rías Baixas, saline and fragrant, is Galicia's great ambassador, but the region also shines with the godello of Valdeorras and Monterrei, the treixadura of the Ribeiro and red mencía. In the Ribeira Sacra, heroic viticulture climbs the canyons of the Sil and the Miño on impossible terraces harvested by hand.

Wine tourism in Galicia means uniting wine and sea: seafood platters, pulpo á feira, the Camino de Santiago and green landscapes of rías and hanging vineyards. A unique sensory experience in the northwest of the peninsula.
