Toro is a Spanish Denominación de Origen Protegida (DOP) for wines in the province of Zamora, which is in the northwest of Castile and Léon (Spain).

Wine has been made in Toro since the end of the 1st century BC, when the ancient Greeks taught the local Celtic tribes.

King Alfonso IX granted lands to several religious orders with the understanding that they would plant vines, and many of the 40 churches that exist in the town of Toro today were built thanks to the wealth generated by the wine trade.

At the end of the 19th century great quantities of wine were exported to France during the phylloxera crisis, which did not affect the local vines as they were protected by the sandy soil.

The DOP has an extreme continental climate (long, hot summers, cold winters) with Atlantic influences.
