The Xunta has just approved the signing of collaboration agreements with the five routes, which will receive a total of 390,000 euros to finance an activity that this year will reach its eleventh edition.

The successful Open Days of the Galician Wine Routes will continue for at least four more years. This was confirmed at the last Xunta Council, which authorised the signing of five collaboration agreements with the five associations that promote these itineraries in the territories of each of their respective designations of origin.

The agreements with the entities that promote the Monterrei, Rías Baixas, Ribeiro, Ribeira Sacra and ValdeorrasWine Routes will be valid until 2025 and will allow each of these associations to receive 78,000 euros, which means a total of 390,000 euros. This represents an increase of almost 70% in the contribution that the Xunta will make to the initiative with respect to the previous agreement, established for the period between 2018 and 2021 and with a total amount of 230,000 euros.

The Open Days of the Galician Wine Routes have made it possible to disseminate wine tourism and the rest of the tourism offer linked to it with proposals that take place during five consecutive weekends. The last edition held to date, the 2021 edition, took place last October.

The bus transport service (the wine bus) to the wineries and places of interest in the area, as well as tastings are some of the actions that can be financed thanks to these agreements that are part of the general strategy to promote wine tourism as an instrument to favour the deseasonalisation of tourism and of which the Galicia Tourism Cluster also forms part through the brand Wine Tourism in Galicia.
