Bodegas Regina Viarum

What Bodegas Regina Viarum does

Bodegas Regina Viarum is a privately held Spanish winery operating under the Ribeira Sacra Denominación de Origen, with its operational winery located in Doade, Sober (Lugo, Galicia) and its legal/administrative seat in Mos, Pontevedra. The company is owned by the Gómez Araujo family within the diversified Grupo HOGOMAR conglomerate. It produces approximately twelve still wines from indigenous Galician grape varieties — primarily Mencía (red), Godello (white), and Tempranillo, with secondary use of Sousón and Merenzao — at price tiers spanning young reds (Sacrima, Vía Appia, Heroico) through premium crianzas (Horatius, Finca La Capitana, Regina Expresión, Regina Dona). Production is anchored in "heroic viticulture" on steep slate terraces (45-degree slopes, ~10cm of cultivable soil, manual cultivation) in the Amandi subzone, with notable process techniques including pre-fermentation cold maceration at 5–7°C, the first vibratory destemmer deployed in Galicia, délestage (punch-down) extraction, French oak barrel aging (6–18 months), and 3000L oval French oak foudre aging for the Regina Dona white.

The business model combines direct-to-consumer wine sales via the winery's own e-commerce storefront (hgabodegas.com) and on-site purchases, with paid enotourism experiences including guided winery tours, commented tastings (3, 4, or 5 wines), seasonal Grape Harvest Days (Jornadas de Vendimia) at €48 per person, and space rentals for private events. Distribution is supplemented by a tourism-sector collaborator program offering exclusive booking codes to travel agencies and tour operators. The Michelin-starred Restaurante Vértigo, operated on-premises by Chef Rafa Centeno since its 2023 star recognition (the first Michelin star in the province of Lugo and the first within a Galician winery), functions as a gastronomic anchor for premium positioning. Customer segments are predominantly individual wine enthusiasts and gastronomic tourists, with secondary segments of wine collectors and tourism trade resellers. Marketing is executed through Instagram, Facebook, TripAdvisor, the reginaviarum.es website, and a dedicated enotourism department ([email protected]). The portfolio has accumulated substantial international award recognition since 2014 from Bacchus, Decanter, IWC, CERVIM, and Peñín Guide competitions, and Regina Viarum is identified as the first Tempranillo producer in Galicia.
