WINE DIY
From the Grape to the Glass
The “Vindima”
What better way to celebrate one of our finest creations than to be part of the manufacturing process since its very start? We love our wine so much, we want to give you a taste of the beginning of it all. Through the Wine-County Experience, we will take to you to a small family villa where you’ll be able to partake in the process of collecting the grapes, selecting the best ones and do squashing just like in the old days. The “Vindima” (Harvest) is secular tradition we want to share with you. Nothing says more PORTUGAL than the act of squashing grapes after a hot day followed with popular music, wood woven cooked bread with prosciutto and goat cheese.
Come and make wine, be Portuguese for a day.
A typical family Villa
Travel a short journey to a gorgeous and typical wine villa where our hosts are a family that makes true to our heritage every year by hosting a “Vindima” (Harvest) to all friends and family. You are one of us today.
Squash it like you mean it
Jump to the squashing tank and experience the ancient technique of making the juice that will become a hot and tasty wine in a few months. Feel the grapes under your feet and sing with us following the old Portuguese tradition of the “Vindima” (Harvest).
Get those grapes
Dress for work. Its not easy but its done with pleasure. Get on to the grapevines yard and start collecting those grapes into your casket. Feel the sweet smell of ripeness under the heat of our warm sun.
The Reward
At the end of the work comes the reward. After all is done, sit down to share the stories of the day while eating freshly baked bread in a wood-fired oven with a nice smoked ham, fresh chorizo and a delicious goat's cheese. Accompanied of course by a warm and rich red wine.
