CURIOSITIES: Selected as the best wine bar in Galicia in 2020, Derby is a mandatory stop in the Rías Baixas if you want to enjoy an impeccable selection of wines and absolutely delicious food. Few dishes and very well prepared, with a product out of ten. All of this paired with an authentic, real and contagious passion for wine. Jose Dieste has in the pedestrian area of his town, Vilagarcía de Arousa, a small temple with bottles in every corner, with its terrace, its table area, its private room and its clandestine room where it holds tastings for 8 people maximum once or twice. a month. Additionally, in Derby you can buy bottles and taste around 30 references with Coravin. And in case you happen to drop by the area in November, Jose is in charge of organizing “Castes-Vilagarcía Wine Fair”, a fair that is little by little making a name for itself among small Galician, national and international producers.
