COVID-19

Wine tourism in Galicia, an initiative supported by the Xunta de Galicia and which brings together the five Galician Wine Routes (Monterrei, Rias Baixas, Ribeira Sacra, Ribeiro and Valdeorras), has resumed its tourist activity and reports that the resources, tourist spaces and establishments that are part of the wine routes have reopened their doors to the public, following strict security protocols.

We are prepared! We really want to welcome you again so that you can enjoy authentic wine tourism experiences.

Our establishments have limited group sizes, conditioned their facilities and services, encouraged open spaces, and adopted other organizational measures to deal with COVID-19.

If you are planning a visit to Galicia and any of our wine routes, we ask that you collaborate to protect yourself and your closest circle. Stopping this virus is everyone’s responsibility. For this we recommend that you follow the recommendations of the health authorities and respect the specific rules established in each of our establishments.

We are looking forward to you living wine tourism in Galicia. Visiting our wine routes is a very good option for your next getaway: vineyard environments, small towns, outdoor activities, rural centers with low population density, small accommodation and activity companies that offer à la carte experiences. Wine tourism in Galicia, your best choice.
