Fefiñáns Palace, Renaissance manor house in Fefiñáns, Spain

Fefiñáns Palace is a 16th-century manor house in Cambados, built of light grey ashlar stone in an L-shaped plan. Its flat roofline is edged with pointed merlons, and a rounded stone balcony with a dark metal railing projects from the outer corner. Small irregular windows, some with stone pediments, open onto the paved street corner.

The manor was founded in the 16th century when Juan Sarmiento Valladares, a high-ranking official under Philip II, built it as a residence for Galician nobility. The complex's structure reflected the power and status of its founders during that era.

The manor houses a winery that has shaped the region's reputation through generations of family work and craftsmanship. Its location in the heart of the village square makes it a natural gathering place and reflects how wine production remains central to local identity.

You can visit the winery and taste and purchase wines made on the grounds, combining historical exploration with wine appreciation. The best time to visit is in the morning or late afternoon when the site is less crowded.

The palace's lower floor houses Bodegas del Palacio de Fefiñanes, which registered the brand "Albariño de Fefiñanes" in 1928 and is considered the first winery to bottle the area's Albariño wine. Its winemaking is documented from 1904.
