Viseu Terroir Wine Tasting

Enjoy a Terroir Wine Tasting in the heart of the Dão Demarcated Region!

The farm is located in the heart of the Dão Demarcated Region, in Silvã de Cima, in the sub-region of Castendo. This unique stretch of 42 hectares of vines, between Vale do Pereiro and Vale do Sequeiro, marked by a triangular plateau between 400 and 530 metres above sea level, is characterised by gentle slopes towards the southwest quadrant, with a privileged solar exposure to the south and west. The traditional vineyards are not irrigated, using a sustainable rainfed viticulture system, which maintains traditional qualities and typicity in the 26 parcels, in an integrated production mode, characterised by a planting density of 3,500 plants per hectare and a median production of 4,000 kg per hectare. Discover the history of the village. Must-see sights include the Roman winepress — one of the oldest vestiges of winemaking in the Dão region — and the forest, before starting the vineyard tour, which can be done on foot or in the traditional 1964 Bedford van. The guided tour also includes the winery, designed by a renowned architect, culminating in the Barrel Top Walk, a wooden walkway built high above the barrel room, where the wines age in the silence of time. The visit ends with a wine tasting in the Wine House, or, for larger groups, in the winery’s tasting room with access to the balcony. This tasting speaks of identity, the Dão, character, perfume, fluidity, adaptability, complexity and affinity with the wood barrels — revealing the potential of each classic and monovarietal variety, with Reserve wines as the best example.

A Roman winepress, still standing. One of the oldest vestiges of winemaking in the Dão region grounds this tasting in genuine, centuries-old history.

A vintage 1964 Bedford van tour. Touring the vineyard aboard this traditional vehicle offers a genuinely distinctive, nostalgic way to see the estate.

The Barrel Top Walk. Crossing a wooden walkway high above the ageing barrel room, in “the silence of time,” is a genuinely atmospheric moment few wineries offer.
