Wines and spirits Porto And North

Adega de Ponte de Lima was founded in 1959. It gathers 2,000 producers, families and workers, forming the largest company in Ponte de Lima. During your visit to the sales and tasting area, you will choose, for example, a vinho verde branco from the Loureiro variety, fruity, pleasant and full of aromas. The oenologists who will welcome you will give you good advice. A pleasant moment in the heart of one of the regional and national know-how.

This agricultural farm(adega) was created in 1958, on the initiative of 25 winegrowers who wanted to show their products. This is the place to go to taste and buy local wine. The vinho verde Alvarinho Deu la Deu and Muralha de Monção are very appreciated. A visit that will also allow you to discover a beautiful estate with a well laid out space to present the different wines. Recommended visit. Very good advice.

Opened in 2018, this hybrid venue is part store, part wine cellar and part library. In its colorful room, you'll enjoy one or more cod fritters filled with Serra da Estrela PDO cheese while drinking a glass of port. There is a singer on weekends who is accompanied by an organ dating from the 18th century. The price is a bit high but the place, sublime, deserves at least to take a look at it once. We leave with a glass engraved of the day of our arrival.

The Porto branch of the interprofessional association Viniportugal offers the opportunity to taste (with the purchase of an Enocard) 2 to 4 wines from a selection of 30, from different regions of Portugal. Professionals will guide you through the tasting. It is also possible to choose themed tastings, such as fortified wines, wines made in clay pots, or wines related to the history of wine. A whole discovery in perspective and a good time.

The originality of these wine cellars lies in the fact that they are dug in blue granite, ideal for the conservation of wines. The cellars of Murganheira offer an instructive visit about the history of the place and the production of sparkling wine from different Portuguese and foreign grape varieties. It takes about 25 minutes to get there by car from Lamego. The visit lasts one hour. At the end you will be strongly tempted to buy one or more bottles to take home or to offer to relatives. The visit is worth it. Dynamic guide.
