Quinta da Aveleda Tour: Vinho Verde, Traditions and Tasting

For Vinho Verde lovers, Quinta da Aveleda offers an exceptional experience that blends rich tradition with world-class wine production. As Portugal’s largest Vinho Verde exporter, Quinta da Aveleda is where history, beauty, and craftsmanship converge. The history of this wine estate is lost in time, but there are countless records of it after the 16th century. The first bottled wine sale records date back to 1870. 

This tour to Quinta da Aveleda is much more than a visit to the beautiful vineyards stretching as far as the eye can see at a technologically advanced winery that produces one of the best-selling Vinhos Verdes worldwide. As you stroll through the estate, you’ll be transported to the bygone era of Minho’s noble families, whose legacy lives in the region’s classic manor houses.

Explore lush, beautifully curated gardens filled with exotic flora while also discovering historical agricultural structures like the old kitchen, the coach house, and the threshing floor. Charming romantic-style buildings, including the iconic House of Reboleira, will transport you to another time. The picturesque Tea House and the Four Sisters Fountain provide a serene backdrop for reflection.

A tour of the cellar offers a glimpse into the meticulous bottling process behind Aveleda’s celebrated Vinho Verde wines. And, of course, no visit would be complete without savouring the estate’s exquisite wines, complemented by artisanal cheeses crafted on-site in the farm’s traditional cheese dairy. Your experience culminates with a delightful lunch in the heart of this beautiful property, where you can indulge in local flavours while enjoying the stunning surroundings.
