The Cambados Wine Museum is comprised of two buildings: an antique rectory and a newly constructed building connected by a footbridge, and a recently added third building, located on Calle Principe, the Pazo Torrado farmhouse where the new technologies applied to winemaking around the world (not only in the Rias Baixas) are located, making it possible for visitors to take a tour of the wine making process of the five continents.
The exhibition explanations include the history, art, geography and popular culture, as well as the viticultural aspects of the region of the Rias Baixas. This is complemented by a series of halls where interior and exterior exhibitions are located, as well as research labs, warehouses, archives, restoration workshops, shop and information services; making this one of the most comprehensive wine museums.
