Dão Wine Picnic Experience in Nelas

Enjoy a Dão wine picnic in Nelas with vineyard visit!

Discover the rebirth of the Dão wine region with a relaxed and authentic Wine Picnic Experience in Nelas, near Viseu, set in a modern winery surrounded by 42 hectares of vineyards.

Located in the heart of the Dão, this experience reflects what many call the “New Dão” — a region that blends centuries-old viticultural traditions with a fresh, contemporary approach to winemaking and wine tourism. Designed to stand apart from traditional wineries, the estate combines architectural modernity with respect for the authenticity of vinification.

Your visit offers a complete understanding of the wine journey, from vineyard to wine, as you explore the vineyards and winery facilities and learn about the region’s terroir, grape varieties, and winemaking philosophy. The wines produced here are expressive, elegant, and deeply connected to the identity of the Dão, crafted by experienced winemakers and recognized both nationally and internationally.

The experience culminates with a romantic picnic in the vineyard, where simplicity and conviviality take center stage. Surrounded by vines and nature, you’ll enjoy local flavors paired with Dão wines in an atmosphere designed for relaxation, connection, and pleasure.

With no fixed end time, this is an experience meant to be enjoyed at your own pace — perfect for couples, friends, and wine lovers seeking a peaceful and authentic moment in the Portuguese countryside.
