About

The wine tradition is rooted in this territory that produces the most noble wines made from traditional and high quality grape varieties, Baga and Touriga Nacional in reds, or Bical, Maria Gomes, Arinto and Cercial in white wines.

The cool, humid climate and strong maritime influence provides grapes with low alcohol content and high acidity, which are excellent for the production of sparkling wines, where they have been assuming greater relevance, where the Bairrada region holds the title with the best sparkling wine. in the 2019 Portugal wine contest.

On this tour, we invite you to visit the best that the Bairrada Region has to offer, in gastronomy and wines.
Wine tasting in a oldests cellars, walking through old vineyards, learning how to make sparkling wine (Portuguese champagne), walking in 12 meter deep tunnels or having lunch in a typical restaurant where you will understand the secret of making the skin “crispy” typical of the pig roasted in Bairrada, are some of the experiences we propose. If you don’t like Leitão, we will provide you with another main course.

After visits and tastings we return to the starting point
