Vinho Verde & Tapas Experience

The tour ends in the charming old cellar of the main house, where you’ll enjoy a tasting of three wines of your choice and one sparkling wine, paired with a delicious selection of local and seasonal bites.

Highlights

Choose your own tasting. With three wines of your choice plus a sparkling wine, this tasting adapts to your palate rather than following a fixed pour order.

A genuinely full tapas spread. From cheese and charcuterie to codfish cakes, alheira sausage and a regional dessert, this is a proper meal, not a light nibble.

A historic old cellar setting. Tasting in the charming old cellar of the main house adds real character beyond a modern tasting room.

Seasonal surprises. Depending on the time of year, extras like rojões or papas de sarrabulho bring genuine regional variety to the pairing.
