What to expect
Itinerary
We will meet at 12:30 on a Saturday and in two hours you will experience the world of Galician wine and how to taste it. Who are these Galicians who make their wines in small towns, far from tourism and a lot of infrastructure? Why are their wines so special, what stories and anecdotes are told? When did the first vines come to Galicia and why is Galician wine so popular in the world of wine?
We will try Albariño, the region’s most famous grape, but also wines from less known and surprising grapes. In total, we will taste four wines from the five Galician denominations of origin: Rias Baixas, Ribeiro, Valdeorras, Ribeira Sacra and Monterrei. We will talk about the differences and why they exist in our tasting. There will also be a variety of delicious tapas.
Our sommelier Lara Martens is from Germany and has been living in Spain since 2015. Apart from being Sommelière, she is the owner of the online store where she sells Galician wines for the German market. She is an accredited wine expert and knows the Galician world and its wines perfectly.
