Experience the Two Faces of Albariño on a private, luxury two-day wine journey through the renowned Rías Baixas region. This exclusive tour highlights the contrasting subregions, offering a sophisticated view of Galicia’s most celebrated grape.

Each day combines exclusive tastings, scenic landscapes, and personalized service. As a result, you gain a deeper appreciation for the diversity and elegance of Albariño wines.

Day One: Salnés Valley – The Atlantic Expression

During the day, you will:

• Visit three carefully selected boutique wineries

• Learn the secrets of pergola-trained vines

• Taste multiple styles of premium Albariño

• Enjoy stunning views of the Atlantic coastline

A Private Furancho Lunch

Enhance your experience with a private furancho lunch—traditional, family-run venues serving homemade dishes paired with local Albariño. This is a true taste of authentic Galician culture.

For ultimate comfort, consider an overnight stay at the Parador of Baiona, a castle-like retreat overlooking the Cíes Islands. Here, you’ll enjoy gourmet cuisine in a historic setting.

Day Two: Rosal Subregion & Cross-Border Portugal

On the second day, the Two Faces of Albariño tour explores the Rosal subregion, near the Portuguese border. Here, Albariño shows a different, more rounded expression, influenced by the warmer microclimate.

During the visit, you will:

• Tour two Rosal wineries

• Compare production techniques with Salnés

• Enjoy a vineyard tapas lunch

• Learn about local varietals and terroir nuances

Exclusive Portuguese Winery Visit

After lunch, cross into Portugal for an exclusive tasting at a historic winery. This rare cross-border experience reveals how the same grape expresses itself differently in Galicia and northern Portugal.

As a result, you’ll gain a unique perspective on Albariño wines that few travelers experience.
