BTT

Meis welcomed the fourth edition of this initiative that combines sport and wine tourism, in a route that crossed three associated wineries and natural places of the subzone of Salnés.

More than 200 people have gathered in Meis to participate in the 4th BTT Ruta do Viño Rías Baixas, the cycling march organized by the Ruta do Viño Rías Baixas that annually unites sport and wine tourism in a journey of 40 kilometers between vineyards, wineries, beautiful natural environments and exceptional views. The itinerary included a visit to the Pé Redondo vineyard -of the associated winery Martín Códax-, crossing the facilities and vineyards of the Mar de Frades winery and fitting out one of its refreshment points in the Terra de Asorei winery, also highlighting its visit to a section of the Ruta da Pedra e da Auga and the contour of the Mosteiro de Armenteira.

The absolute winner was José Gómez Vestilleiro, although the three ambassadors of this cycling march were among the first places: Lara Lois, Ramón Mella and Ramón Troncoso. All of them received a gift for their involvement in the development and promotion of this activity. To end this day of wine tourism and sport, an agape was offered to the participants. In addition, all of them were given a t-shirt commemorating the activity and a bottle of Rías Baixas wine made by associated wineries.

From the Ruta do Viño Rías Baixas have shown their “satisfaction for the good response obtained to this activity. The general evaluations of the participants have been very positive”, they conclude. A different day with a route that has left very good memories among all lovers of wine tourism and sport that met in Meis.
