Wine tourism in Rías Baixas
Villages, wineries and charming plans
Wine tourism in the Rías Baixas
Our area has many tourist attractions that go beyond the spectacular beaches and the natural environment that surrounds us. The world of wine and wine tourism in the Rías Baixas is making its way as one of the great tourist emblems and a perfect complement to the excellent gastronomy of Galicia in general and the Rías Baixas in particular. In the Rías Baixas we have our own hallmark, wine, led by the internationally known Albariño wine, which is produced right here where we are.
The world of wine is very broad and interesting. What type of soil is suitable for planting vines, what care the vines need or what the production processes are like, are doubts that you can resolve by doing wine tourism in Las Rías Baixas and visiting one of the numerous Albariño wine cellars that are in our surroundings.
For this purpose, we have prepared a guide with the towns and wineries that you should take into account when organizing your visits during your next holidays in Rías Baixas although at the hotel we can help and advise you to book your visits, since, as a hotel, we are part of the Spanish Wine Tourism Association.
