Cambados & Albariño Wineries
Cambados
The Albariño white wine capital of the Rías Baixas region, where you can taste wine at the Fefiñáns Palace square and nearby wineries. The wine festival takes place in August.
Cambados lies on the Arousa estuary about 55 km north of Vigo. It is the heart of the Rías Baixas designation, famous for crisp, fruity Albariño white wine. The old town's Praza de Fefiñáns is framed by 16th- and 17th-century noble mansions, arcades and the Church of San Benito. The Fefiñáns palace itself is a historic winery where you can tour and taste. Nearby, well-known wineries such as Martín Códax offer guided tastings, usually by reservation. By the sea, the ruins of the San Saturnino Tower and the cemetery at the ruined Church of Santa Mariña are worth a look. Each early August the town hosts the Albariño Festival.
