Word origin

The Spanish viña comes from Latin vinea 'vineyard', itself related to vitis 'vine' and vinum 'wine'.

Usage tips

  • Viña names the whole plot of vines (not an individual grape, uva, or a single vine, cepa or parra), and the letter ñ is a distinct sound like the 'ny' in canyon, so writing it as n changes the word.
