Monte da Ravasqueira

Located in the village of Arraiolos, one hour away from Lisbon, Monte da Ravasqueira has maintained a three-generation link to the Jose de Mello family since 1943. The vast area of typical Alentejo landscape and the unique geological and climatic conditions found here led Jose Manuel de Mello to believe that Monte da Ravasqueira had everything to be a producer of high-quality wines. Today, Monte da Ravasqueira extends over approximately 3,000 hectares, 45 of which are dedicated to vineyards. In keeping with the quality and character of its wines, blending tradition, innovation, and dedication to the art and science of winemaking. Monte da Ravasqueira also develops other activities related to cork, cattle, fattening of the Alentejo black pig, as well as the production of honey and olive oil, besides the wine tourism activities such as especially designed wine tasting, courses, and visits.

Observatorio do Lago Alqueva

The Observatorio do Lago Alqueva – OLA (Lake Alqueva Observatory) is an astronomical observatory next to the medieval village of Monsaraz. OLA offers almost daily tours of the magnificent night sky of Monsaraz, where one can learn the orientation by the North Star, identify the constellations and know their legends, relate stellar colours with their ages, observe star clusters, nebulas and distant galaxies with the help of telescopes. The explanations are presented with clear examples and language by OLA’s guides. When the weather is cloudy, we resort to a simulation using astronomy software. The observatory also promotes courses on astronomy and astrophotography and has a vast program of outreach talks and activities for the general public, schools and senior groups.

We had a great evening with Nelson (and other families). He explained a lot about the (newborn) stars, planets, galaxies etcetera. And showed them with his telescopes. He has an enormous knowledge and can explain it very well. And every question was answered in a very clear way.

Joao Portugal Ramos Wines

Designed in accordance with the traditional architecture of the Alentejo region, this winery has put Estremoz on the map of the great wine regions, welcoming visitors from all over the world. The purpose is to discover the achievements of Joao Portugal Ramos, but on the way also discover the reasons for his passion for the Alentejo. A tour or a lunch offers the time and tranquility that are perfect for enjoying our wines and the local cuisine. With a shop, tasting room, lecture room, meeting room and dining room , Vila Santa offers a welcome to those wanting to discover, taste and take home wines that will leave a perfect memory of this region. Our five senses all come into play when we travel. Food and drink is part of many people’s tourist experience and the best way to truly grasp the terroir of a wine is to visit where it’s made. Vila Santa tour offers you a visit to the vineyards, the winery, and cellars, where the vinification process is explained to the visitors. You have the opportunity to choose between a wine tasting accompanied by regional cheeses and a selection of different appetizers according to the seasons products or a typical Alentejo lunch , “be a winemaker for a day” or take a cooking class, where culture, tradition and the character of our wines come in complete harmony, promising a unique and unforgettable experience . During harvest time it’s also possible to take part in grape picking and foot-trodding in old marble "lagares" (stone troughs).

I have toured wineries in a number of countries, but this one will always rate highest in my memories. We showed up at the gorgeous Joao Portugal Ramos estate on a perfect March morning for a tour, tasting and lunch we had arranged through (the awesome) Portugal Trails agency. Acres if perfectly trimmed vines, cork and olive trees surround the fairly new, ultra modern winery. We were so extremely lucky, we were the only visitors on this perfect morning, and had the place entirely to ourselves. Our lovely young tour guide Tania gave us an introduction and took us through the processing and aging facilities, then up to the courtyard and dining room atop the property. We had our couverte (appetizer) course on a nice big outdoor picnic table with views of their most Tuscan-like estate. We then went into the splendidly appointed dining room, where we were served a four course lunch of a delicious pumpkin soup, followed by a 5-star duck risotto and cucumber salad, a nice cheese selection and a desert medley that included their chocolate sin cake. Noone could push away from that table unimpressed! Oh, and did I mention this is a winery? Each course was accompanied by a generous serving of most excellent whites and reds. Sorry we cannot comment on their port, which we had to politely decline. Im sure it was as awesome as the table fare we were served in considerably greater profusion than your usual estate “tasting.” We have been all over this gorgeous country on our two week tour, but hours spent at this property are and remain one of our most cherished Portuguese experiences. Thank you Tania and staff. A first class experience, and a first rate wine property.
