Excursion The albariño wine country tour at Vigo

Embrace the splendid beauty and flavours of Galicia during this picturesque sightseeing excursion to Combarro and the Albariño wine region.

Combarro

Depart the pier for the approximately 40-minute drive to Combarro, a picturesque village brimming with traditional culture elements. Upon arrival, venture through the narrow streets of this picturesque village en route to the seaside. Here, see two different types of structures endemic to this area. One of them is a sort of raised granary called a 'horreo', which is used for ripening, drying and storing grain. The other is called a 'batea', a floating dock used for mussel farming. The 'bateas' can be seen floating in the middle of the estuary.

Following a guided walking tour, spend some time at leisure to explore the village.

Albariño Winery Visit and Tasting

Continue with an approximately 45 minutes scenic drive through the heart of Galicia's Albariño wine country to reach the stunning Pazo de Rubianes. Enjoy a tour of the estate and sample three popular Albariño wines for a horizontal tasting.

Your excursion will conclude with the approximately one hour scenic drive back to the port.
