Caves à vin- Maisons des vins Portugal

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.

Both a wine bar and a store, Bago a Bago is located near the cathedral. It offers a wide range of local wines, in partnership with several quintas, to taste on the spot or to buy. As soon as you enter this Ali Baba (!) tavern, you feel good and the owner, who is a sommelier, will accompany you with great kindness in the selection of a bottle. Which grape variety, which year, which color, which region? Try also the delicious bread, cheese and wine plate. House events announced on the Facebook page.

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.

João Portugal Ramos is one of the most famous winemakers in Portugal. An ideal place for a walk or a lunch with friends, but above all to taste the wines and the local gastronomy (cheeses and various snacks depending on the season's products). During the visit, you can participate in the program "Be an oenologist for a day" with a cooking class on the culture and tradition of the region's flavors. During the harvest, it is also possible to participate in the harvest and traditional crushing. A unique experience!

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.
