Reviewed By PA_Blairgowrie - Blairgowrie, United Kingdom
Stumbled across this place after seeing a few street signs suggesting wine tasting. Delighted to see Casa Mae open during COVID, with good safety measures in place, and what an exceptional choice of local wines available for sale with several available to taste for only 2.50 or 3.00 euros per glass. Add in some local cheeses, bread and chutney along with great hospitality by the 2 or 3 staff and we were in heaven. They also have some lovely gift packs for sale but make sure you allow at least an hour or two to taste the wines. Suggest you make this one of your must visit locations if you're planning a trip to Palmela.
