This is a late review, but it was a very nice stop in the area. The tile making & painting demonstration was interesting, and the people who work there are really friendly and knowledgeable. Recommended!

Jose Maria da Fonseca is one of Portugal's largest and most prestigious wine companies, begun in 1834 and run with undiminished passion since that date by the same family. The winery is in the charming village of Vila Nogueira de Azeitao, where visitors are welcome to tour the museum and cellars where many of Fonseca's wines are aged, including Periquita, Portugal oldest red wine. Another must-see is the Setubal Moscatel cellar, in which wines as old as the company itself slumber in their hallowed and tranquil vault. These Moscatels belong to the private collection of the Soares Franco family, of whom the sixth generation now heads the company. The tour ends with a wine tasting. At the Wine Shop you may buy that special wine or gourmet regional product for a friend.Tours occurs everyday from 10.00am to 12.00, and from 2.30pm to 5.30pm.

We were treated to an exceptionally well researched and presented tour by Carolina on Saturday. Her depth of knowledge about the family, the wines and Portugal as a whole was admirable and her warmth and hospitality made us feel at home. Highly recommended!
