Cortem Winery

We are a boutique winery making organic wines set in wonderful countryside just out of Caldas da Rainha. We do winetastings with tapas, and wine sales direct from our cellar or we ship to you anywhere in Europe. Our wine tastings are famous for good food, good wine and fun! Our wines are made without aging in oak barrels so one can taste the flavour of the grape and our Terroir. We also offer summer accomodation in our apartment, which is registered with the Portuguese Tourist board under 11178/AL

It is well worth the trip to find this delightful winery perched on the hill, looking down into the valleys that produce their grapes. The hosts are welcoming and incredibly knowledgable, their award-winning wine is delicious, and they treated us to a wonderful tour and tasting. We neglected to phone ahead and book (which we should have) so our visit was a surprise and we barged in on their work. Call ahead to be more polite than were, and enjoy a real treat.

Quinta dos Capuchos

With generations of tradition in wine production, the winery Quinta dos Capuchos integrates an older building (1916), which together with a part of the Quinta de Santa Thereza was purchased (in 1925) for a great-grandfather of the current owners. In the older building with mills 1933, 1962 and 2015 use a traditional registration (fermentation open tank with feet action), for the production of the top red wines. The grapes are harvested by hand (with carefully selected in the vineyard), transported in small containers and then transported to the winery, having to arrive intact and in perfect condition (grapes that could serve to eat in the cellar).We do wine touristic visits to the vineyards and cave, as well as some events like corporate events or lunch (minimum 20 persons). We are a small wine company that loves receiving its guests and clients and sharing knowledge and endogenous experiences. For our guests that stay at Casa Velha or Casa da Adega, we basic breakfast ingredient.

.y wife and I needed something to do on our rained out beach day, so we decided on going out for a wine tasting. We had our hotel call and set up the tasting. We were the only 2 in and got vip treatment. We were taken around the entire facility and shown their wine making process from start to finish including crushing, vats, cellars and the wine stomping vats. We would like to return one day and participate in the wine stomping. We learned the difference between naturally made corks vs. the ones made from cork pieces and glue. We tried 4 wines served with different appetizers. The wines were very well made, exhibited great structure, with wonderful noses and taste. All at very reasonable pricing. Our host wanted to make the tasting a personal experience vs. other mass tastings in other more popular locations. He succeeded. The tour was great with no pressure to buy anything. We were there for about 2 1/2 hours. I do not know if that was normal.

Hernani Edgar Canavarro Magalhaes

It's the territory of the Serras de Aire e Candeeiros Nature Park and its population that we want you to discover, interact and while entertained, learned about the stories that made our History... We know that we can provide you with some pleasant moments but we also aim to show you what makes this region unique and why it must be preserved.
