The route
Visit and Tasting at Paco & Lola, the Meaño Cooperative
This Saturday compares two albariños that are born eight kilometres apart: that of a cooperative of more than 430 grape growers, in a modern winery in Meaño, and that of the winery of the Fefiñanes palace, in the centre of Cambados, with its vineyard inside the walls.
The Saturday, step by step
10:15 · Set off. From Pontevedra, a little over twenty minutes to Meaño; from Santiago, about fifty.
11:00 · Paco & Lola. The Classic Visit lasts an hour and ends with three wines, for €15. Notice the pergola on granite posts: that is how the vineyards of its members' more than 2,000 plots are trained.
13:30 · Lunch at Yayo Daporta. Now in Cambados, Michelin-starred Galician cooking in a former 18th-century hospital. On Saturdays it opens at midday and in the evening.
16:30 · Palacio de Fefiñanes winery. Five minutes on foot. A visit to the palace and a tasting of its albariños, an hour or a little more.
18:00 · Old town. You come out into the Plaza de Fefiñanes and walk down the promenade to A Mouta beach and the tower of San Sadurniño, which can be crossed at low tide.
20:00 · Head home.

We'd skip it
If you want to save money, Yayo Daporta is a tasting-menu restaurant: with the two wineries and the walk, the day already makes sense.
Questions
