O Ribeiro is a region of Galicia that combines gastronomic tradition, wine tourism and protected natural spaces such as Pena Corneira and fluvial riverbanks. The confluence of the valleys of the Miño, Avia, Arnoia and Barbantiño rivers singularizes these lands and gives them remarkable landscape beauty.

The D.O. Ribeiro is the oldest in Galicia, and since the Middle Ages these lands have been intimately linked to vine cultivation, being the main wine reference of the Christian kingdoms from the 9th to the 17th century.
