Pazo de Rubianes

While visiting Spain from the USA, we booked an individual wine tour online, which was quick and easy. We promptly received a confirmation email with all the necessary details, and everything seemed well-organized from the start. Upon arriving at the winery, we joined a group of about 20 guests. The guide greeted everyone at the gate and immediately began the tour in Spanish. We asked if she spoke any English, and she replied, “very little.” Unfortunately, none of the other guests spoke English either, so we weren’t able to follow the tour commentary or ask questions, which significantly limited our experience. That said, the property itself is absolutely beautiful. The grounds and gardens are stunning and well-maintained, and we enjoyed simply walking around and soaking in the scenery. At the end of the tour, we were given a tasting of their premium Albariño, which was lovely and accompanied by cheese and crackers—a nice touch. We were shown two additional vintages of their Albariño but did not get to taste them. Still, we were interested enough to purchase all three bottles. Unfortunately, when we opened the premium bottle later that evening, we were disappointed to find that it had gone bad. It was a letdown, especially since we had looked forward to enjoying it as a highlight of our trip. Overall, while the setting was lovely and the wines showed promise, the language barrier and the issue with the wine left us with mixed feelings. If you don’t speak Spanish, it’s worth checking ahead to see if English-language tours are available to ensure a more complete experience.

Self guided tour around the glorious & extensive gardens with the very useful plan given on arrival. Friendly & informative presentation in the tasting room after. Very good value for the €11 cost. Extensive range of soaps, creams & honey all related to the estate made excellent gifts for friends & family too. A very satisfying visit.

Great visit of the gardens and the wine yard. We took the guided tour which includes wine tasting and it is absolutely worth it: great guide and interesting topics to learn. Tour is 16€ per person and you might get it free depending on the wine bottles you buy at the end ;-) If it is a hot sunny day I would recommend to take the afternoon tour rather the 11:30 as it takes 2h and we end up tired and sweating. Anyway, worth the visit!

One of the most beautiful and intriguing vineyards I've ever visited. The grounds were gorgeous with trees and plants from around the world. Our tour was educational and relaxed. The wine tasting room/events center nicely adorned and located in a building that matches the manor house and surroundings perfectly. Our tour guide was knowledgable and friendly. I would definitely recommend for anyone interested in good wine or botany.

Visited on a sunny Dec 26th and was completely amazed to find a huge luscious green garden with blooming camellia flowers inside. The staff was also very friendly and assisted us with tasting and buying wine. Be aware that they don’t have so many varieties of wine, we were only able to taste one and they had two types on sale. But it’s because they do not produce in large quantities and I thought the wine was delicious, a crisp dry white wine. Overall it’s a great experience, highly recommend a visit if only to see the gardens.

the grounds are lovely and a nice hike that is not too challenging. wine tasting only featured one wine.

Beautiful gardens, the tour is interesting. But I expected something else. Being a winery I was expecting more information about wine. They don't explain anything about wine production and the tasting is limited to one wine. It is really good but they don't comment anything about it.

Wonderful hospitality, and beautiful, Albarińo wine. Our guide was very knowledgeable, courteous, and pleasant. The gardens, are very lovely
