Casa Santos Lima is a family owned company dedicated to the production, bottling and selling of Portuguese wines. The company is present directly or indirectly in the regions of Lisboa, Algarve, Alentejo, Vinho Verde and Douro. This way and from around 600 hectares of vineyards, it produces wines known for their excellent quality/price ratio and exports around 90% of its total production to close to 50 countries in all 5 continents. Casa Santos Lima is also the largest producer of “Vinho Regional Lisboa” and “DOC Alenquer” and in the past years has been one of the most awarded Portuguese wineries in major national and international wine competitions.
We booked a visit here via email on their website. They got back to us in less than a day and we made a reservation for a buggy tour of the vineyards, tour of the working winery, and a tasting of five reserve wines. Our tour guide was great and we really enjoyed her tour. She selected five wines based on what we told her our tastes were and she was right on. We bought five bottles of wine--three of which we had in our tasting. The wine here is cheaper than at most bottle shops or markets in Lisbon and you get to go home with some fantastic wines. Highly recommended. Make sure you eat lunch before hand, though they do bring you large bowls of nuts and crackers to snack on during your tasting. There was a private company catered event here, so I believe that's an option if you arrange it. The views from the winery are fantastic. We rented a car and made the drive from Lisbon. FYI-The rental car GPS couldn't find the address, because the village is so small. You'll want to use a smartphone, since it's easy to get loss. Other than booking a car, I think a private chauffeured tour is the only way to get there. Totally worth it for us.

We visited a day in October, harvest just finished. The Tavares family that own and operate the estate since several generations welcomed us and gave us a tour of the winery (corona safe!) and the vineyards. The setting of Chocapalha is fantastic, rolling hills, quiet, small villages along the valley, and only one hours drive from Lisbon. We tasted their lovely wines and loaded up the car with lots of nice ones to take home. We felt very welcome , great hospitality. The winery does not have a restaurant, but there are some really good ones in the vicinity, we had a great lunch at Aura Vinea. For the wine tour and tasting, call or mail in advance to book, they are open 7 days a week.
