The winery is built within the historical 16th century pazo in the centre of town. The front door opens onto the the Plaza de Fefinanes. The tour starts with a tour of the public section visiting reception room and bedrooms, all with antique furniture of the Pazo and then our favourite part was the tour of the secret garden across the historical bridge from the Pazo

Boutique

Our tasting was conducted under a huge magnolia tree in the secret garden. When the weather isn't as good we understand the tastings are conducted in the distillery or the room off reception in the square

Nice to have a cellar door in town within walking distance of local accommodation and great to explore a garden that, from the outside, you would have no idea existed!
