Enotourism, Ecotourism and Gastronomy Tours

To experience Galician culture is one of Rooteiro’s main goals and to do that, we first look at the cultural history of Galicia. Starting with the Iron Age and the fortified settlements (castros) Culture - we will visit places like Castro de la Lanzada, Castro Baroña in Porto do Son and Castro de Santa Tegra in A Guardia, one of the best preserved castros in Galicia.

While traversing the cultural history of Castro Culture, our routes will explore historically artistic regions such as Cambados, Combarro and Pontevedra. These regions will also provide visibility into what day to day living was like there - the tough conditions of shellfishing, the trade of goods in the markets and farm life in Quinteiro´s house.

Another one of Rooteiro’s main goals is to showcase the excellent Galician gastronomy scene. On this journey we will discover the origins of some famous Galician ingredients and the way they are commonly prepared and used. Our routes will help you feel like a real culinary Galician by learning and enjoying some of the famous local produce such as mussels straight from the estuary, local preserves, artisan cheeses, Galician pies, and tasting limited production wines right at the wineries that produce them.

Rooteiro also offers bespoke gourmet experiences all set within traditional culinary spaces that support local producers, which in turn help foster sustainable rural development.
