About Ribeira Sacra
Galicia
Ribeira Sacra is one of Galicia’s most atmospheric landscapes, where the Sil and Miño rivers carve dramatic gorges through densely wooded hillsides. Ancient monasteries appear among the forests and vineyards, while terraced vines cling improbably to the steep slopes above the river.
Wine has been produced here for more than 2,000 years, beginning under Roman rule before being continued by Christian monks. Today the region is renowned for its Mencía wines and the tradition of heroic viticulture, where grapes are cultivated on extraordinarily steep terrain by hand. A private winery visit or river cruise turns the landscape into a much richer experience, connecting the scenery with Galicia’s agricultural and monastic history.
