The Destination

Galicia - Rías Baixas

Galicia - Rías Baixas

The Designation of Origin of Rías Baixas stretches across the provinces of A Coruña and Pontevedra, spanning between the Santiago de Compostela and the frontier with Portugal, where the River Miño joins the Atlantic Ocean. Rías Baixas stands for "Lower Rias" in Galician language and refers to four estuaries. These "Rías Baixas" make the arms of the sea mixing salt and fresh water to nourish probably the world's most abundant maritime life while contributing to the distinctive geography of the region and its unique terroirs favouring the distinct personality of its wines.

Encompassing five perfectly defined sub-regions from north to south DO Rías Baixas shelters the valleys of the rushing rivers forming distinctive landscapes dominated by vineyards and small villages. Every corner here is home to a new legend and a unique landscape worth stopping by and enjoying its people and of course its culture primarily through the local food and wine.
