The Galician Wine Museum is an institution owned by the regional government whose purpose is to recover, document, preserve and disseminate Galicia's wine-growing heritage for the awareness, learning and enjoyment of the public, in general, and for the use and the consultation of researchers and experts and those of the wine-growing world, in particular.

The exhibition covers all three floors of this unique building, constructed in the eighteenth century as a priory house devoted to wine-growing, dependent on the Monastery of San Martiño Pinario in Santiago de Compostela and, subsequent to the Mendizábal disentailments, transformed into the rectory of Santo André de Camporredondo.
