RÍAS BAIXAS

SPAIN

Season 4, Episode 2

Rías Baixas, located in northwest Spain, produces one Vince's favorite white wines, Albariño! You’ll be blown away by the geographical diversity of this region that includes lush Celtic forests and jagged cliffs, rivers, and sea ports sprinkled with fisheries that produce some of the best seafood on the planet…just perfect for pairing with crisp, salient Albariño.

from the Ensenada/Valle de Guadalupe, Mexico episode

Filming in Valle de Guadalupe, Mexico was on my to-do list for a long time, so you could imagine how excited I was when Josh reached out to help make that dream a reality! As a tour guide he knows all the ins and outs of the Valle and Ensenada, from world class restaurants, amazing bottles of Nebbiolo, to some of the best roadside fish tacos you'll ever have! Of course there were some hard days along the way but it's nothing a bottle of Côte Rôtie couldn't fix! Come along with Josh and I as we talk behind the scenes of filming and remember why the Valle and Ensenada are so special!

visit Martin Codax Winery

BODEGAS MARTÍN CÓDAX

Martín Códax is one of the most well known wineries in the region for good reason; they make what I would say is quintessential Albariño; balanced between citrus, stone fruit, and salinity. This is a great place to start your journey into this grape!

MONTE SANTA TECLA

Not only is this an amazing spot to see Celtic ruins, but the views are breathtaking! You can see for miles! The Atlantic, the towns nearby, the Minho River, and Portugal, all from one peak.

visit Adegas Valinor

ADEGAS VALMIÑOR

Valmiñor produces a super floral, aromatic style of Albariño that is gorgeous. Ask nicely and I bet they'll take you in a ride in that old Land Rover just like we did in the episode! And don't forget to try their vermouth!

BODEGAS FILLABOA

One of the oldest estates in Galicia, the name of this winery means "good daughter", which legend has it was who the estate was given to: the one "good" daughter of three. This winery is unique to the region because it is an estate winery and it is also warmer than others in the area, leading to richer, more tropical wines.

visit Ons island

BOAT TO ONS ISLAND

Take a boat tour to see the mussel farms, or "bateas" as they're called, and then to Ons Island with Rutas Rías Baixas.

BODEGAS GRANBAZÁN

This is a great stop for both wine and conservas, or tinned fish. The family who owns it also owns a conservas company, and they sell the cans on property. The wines are totally unique, as they come in a few styles that are hard to find elsewhere, including older vintages and oak fermented!
