DESCRIPTION:
ALBARIÑO DAY
CELEBRATING THE GRAPE AND THE WINE
Albariño Day celebrates the Albariño grape and its renowned white wines, with roots deeply embedded in Galicia’s rich wine culture. It traces its origins back to a 1952 contest between two local winemakers—Bernardo Quintanilla and Ernesto Zárate—who challenged each other to determine the best Albariño of the year. The friendly rivalry led to the first official celebration in 1953.
At the heart of Albariño Day is the Festa do Albariño—a weeklong festival held in Cambados, Pontevedra, culminating on the first Sunday of August. Attracting over 150,000 people annually, activities include wine tastings at casetas, musical performances, parades, sporting events, fireworks, and official ceremonies led by the Capítulo Serenísimo do Viño Albariño, which honors outstanding contributors to the region’s wine tradition.
Participants engage by sampling a variety of Albariños, joining peñas (wine clubs) in festive attire, and taking part in tastings and workshops. The event celebrates not only the wine’s distinctive citrus-floral profile but also Galician cultural identity and heritage.
Critically important, Albariño Day—and its larger festival—play a pivotal role in promoting Galicia’s wine industry both nationally and internationally, highlighting the region’s maritime-influenced terroir and reinforcing Albariño’s status as Spain’s signature white varietal. The event’s designation as a Fiesta of National Tourist Interest (since 1990) and its 2018 elevation to International Tourist Interest underscore its cultural and economic significance.
Held annually in Cambados, Galicia, Albariño Day remains a vibrant tribute to wine, tradition, and community, affirming its place as one of Spain’s most beloved enological celebrations.
