Vinho Verde Workshop

Join us for an exclusive Vinho Verde Workshop!

Dive into the fascinating world of Vinho Verde with a guided visit to a traditional Minho estate, now home to a modern winery with a production capacity of up to 600,000 liters. Discover how winemaking traditions once practiced in a stone wine press have evolved into a refined production process — covering everything from white and rosé to red wines and sparkling. Learn to distinguish the myths from the facts in the world of Vinho Verde, and engage in a fun aroma-identification game to test your senses. End your visit with a tasting of 3 wines and 1 sparkling wine, paired with a selection of regional Portuguese bites. Whether you’re a wine enthusiast or a curious traveler, this experience is the perfect way to understand — and taste — the true essence of Vinho Verde.

Highlights

A genuinely interactive workshop. The myths and truths session and aroma-identification game make this far more engaging than a standard guided tasting.

From stone press to 600,000 liters. Seeing how winemaking evolved from traditional stone-pressing to a modern production facility gives real historical context.

Test your senses. The aroma challenge game is a fun, memorable way to sharpen your wine-tasting skills.

A proper tapas pairing to finish. Cheese, charcuterie, codfish cakes and more round out the tasting into a satisfying stop.
