Winemaking Experience in the Dão - Blend & Bottle Your Own Wine

Create and bottle your own wine in the Dão region!

Discover the essence of the Dão wine region with a hands-on Creative Winemaking Experience in Nelas, Viseu, set in a modern winery surrounded by 42 hectares of vineyards in the heart of one of Portugal’s most historic wine regions.

This immersive experience invites you to explore the rebirth of the “New Dão”, where tradition meets innovation. You’ll gain insight into the full viticultural journey — from vineyard to wine — while discovering how modern architecture, sustainable practices, and skilled winemaking are shaping the future of Dão wines.

The highlight of the visit is a creative and interactive blending workshop, where you will step into the role of a winemaker. Guided by professionals, you’ll create your own personalized wine blend, experimenting with different samples until you achieve the flavor profile that best reflects your taste.

Once your blend is finalized, you’ll bottle and label your own wine, taking it home to share with family or friends. This experience offers a unique combination of creativity, learning, and authentic wine culture, making it ideal for wine lovers, couples, friends, and small groups looking for something truly memorable.
