ABOUT US

Wine Tourism Routes

Discover 4 terroirs, one Wine Destination.
 

Up north, near the Atlantic Ocean, in-between rivers and hills, the Vinho Verde wine region is, in terms of geographic area, the biggest Demarcated Region in Portugal and one of the biggest in Europe.
 

The Porto and Douro wine region and river share the same name, and along the river banks the terraces hold endless vineyards, guarded by the most beautiful wine estates.
 

Right next to it, the Cistercian monk’s legacy is present throughout the wine region of Távora-Varosa, and its where we can savour our very own sparkling wine.
 

In the Trás-os-Montes wine region, the legacy of the Stone presses from the Roman era is the perfect combination with the indigenous grape varieties.

The impressive beauty of the Minho region, bathed by the Atlantic, and next to the only Portuguese National Park, serves as the backdrop for the Vinho Verde Wine Route. Traveling these paths is to discover the origins and flavours of the thousand-year-old wine culture and delve deeply into the History of Portugal.

Tradition and modernity in viticulture and in the production of Vinho Verde are combined to provide moments of pleasure in modern, centuries-old or family-run estates [quintas], where the hospitality of the people will not fail to seduce you.
