Top 6 Wineries & Vineyards in Aveiro District, Northern Portugal

Family-owned business which produces the white wine Consorte made from the family's vineyard grapes. The winery, where the winemaking and bottling processes are executed, is located in the farmer house, whose construction dates back to 1890. At the pressing of the grapes, it is used an old roman-type press, that also dates back to the house’s construction period. Here we practice a minimalist kind of oenology. Environmental responsibility is ever present in the fact that our grapes are cultivated in carefully treated vineyards, according to a certified integrated production model, which greatly restricts the amount of phytopharmaceutical products in use, therefore prioritizing cultural, biotechnical and biological protection. All of this takes place in Lugar de Fundões, Castelo de Paiva.

Winery visits and wine tasting and wine shop

The Alianca Underground Museum is an exhibition space, displayed along the traditional wine cellars of Alianca Vinhos de Portugal. Including eight private collections, the public has access to diverse artefacts from the fields of archeology, ethnography, mineralogy, paleontology as well as ceramic tiles and tins covering millions of years of history. Being part of the great universe of the Berardo Collection, these collections are the result of the constant effort of Jose Berardo in collecting and caring for objects of scientific, artistic, historical and sentimental importance.

The Caves São Domingos have been producing sparkling wines, old spirits, pomace spirits, Bairrada and Dão wines since 1937. Its cellars lodge more than two million bottles of sparkling wine, large thousands of wine bottles and hundreds of french oak barrels for the famous wine derived spirits. The São Domingos pomace spirit, distilled in the company's own alembics, continues to lead the market with its everlasting quality. Under the aegis of the name São Domingos other brands are emerging, such as "Lopo de Freitas", "Elpídio", "Quinta de S. Lourenço" and more recently "Volúpia", a white wine that has been surprising consumers as well as opinion makers. Oenotourism is another good bet and every year thousands of visitors are dazzled by the beauty of the galleries excavated in the rock, the millions of bottles, and the wine shop, a museum with a tasting room. We are a close partner in the Rota da Bairrada project.
