Private Wine Estate Tour

This Private Wine Estate is located on the left bank of the Tagus River in Almeirim, Portugal, and has been owned by the same family for more than two centuries. It has an area of 1100 ha, of which 140 are under vines.

The existing vineyards are predominantly out of Portuguese varieties such as the white " Fernão Pires". The red wines are produced basically out of "Trincadeira", "Castelão", "Touriga Nacional", and more recently Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Alicante, and Syrah.

The vinification is carefully done at the old winery, which is a building dating from the 18th century, adapted to the new techniques, essential to respect and take the best out of the potential quality of the grapes. All this added to the long tradition of wine products is nowadays reflected in the public recognition of the wines produced here.

This is a privileged place to enjoy many experiences built around the wine. Our visit usually includes a meal with the family who still owns and manages the property, a guided tour of the wine cellar, and, of course, wine tastings. For the ones who like horses, this is the perfect place to admire the Stud of Pure Lusitano Horses.

Opportunities for Discovery can include:

Learning beyond the bottle: Explore ancient cellars, walk through manicured vineyards, and learn directly from winemakers. Understand the terroir, indigenous grapes like Touriga Nacional, and the unique microclimates that shape each vintage.

Experiences tailored for visitors: Consider a private picnic among the vines in the Douro Valley, a gourmet meal with perfectly paired wines, or an intimate tour culminating in a port tasting. Private estates can craft exclusive experiences tailored to individual desires.

Exploring the art of terroir: From the rolling plains of Alentejo, known for its robust reds, to the coastal vineyards near Lisbon and the terraced slopes of the UNESCO-recognized Douro Valley, each region offers a distinct and unforgettable character.

Witnessing tradition meet innovation: Discover how modern, sustainable techniques blend seamlessly with centuries-old methods, including the traditional foot-treading of grapes in granite lagares.
