Located in the village of Arraiolos, one hour away from Lisbon, Monte da Ravasqueira has maintained a three-generation link to the Jose de Mello family since 1943. The vast area of typical Alentejo landscape and the unique geological and climatic conditions found here led Jose Manuel de Mello to believe that Monte da Ravasqueira had everything to be a producer of high-quality wines. Today, Monte da Ravasqueira extends over approximately 3,000 hectares, 45 of which are dedicated to vineyards. In keeping with the quality and character of its wines, blending tradition, innovation, and dedication to the art and science of winemaking. Monte da Ravasqueira also develops other activities related to cork, cattle, fattening of the Alentejo black pig, as well as the production of honey and olive oil, besides the wine tourism activities such as especially designed wine tasting, courses, and visits.

Very interesting to walk up to the castle inside its walls. Plenty of wild flowers, peaceful and amazing views over all the surrounding countryside. The small town of Arraiolos is also worth wandering around. The painting on the Church wall of the dye vats sets the scene for a visit to the small museum to learn the history of the town and the art of rug making. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit here.
