We are a boutique winery making organic wines set in wonderful countryside just out of Caldas da Rainha. We do winetastings with tapas, and wine sales direct from our cellar or we ship to you anywhere in Europe. Our wine tastings are famous for good food, good wine and fun! Our wines are made without aging in oak barrels so one can taste the flavour of the grape and our Terroir. We also offer summer accomodation in our apartment, which is registered with the Portuguese Tourist board under 11178/AL
It is well worth the trip to find this delightful winery perched on the hill, looking down into the valleys that produce their grapes. The hosts are welcoming and incredibly knowledgable, their award-winning wine is delicious, and they treated us to a wonderful tour and tasting. We neglected to phone ahead and book (which we should have) so our visit was a surprise and we barged in on their work. Call ahead to be more polite than were, and enjoy a real treat.

This place is temporarily closed.
A very nice castle with an amazing view over the city, and loved the activities happening inside the castle - some kind of medieval market!

We went into the museum unsure of what we would find but we were immediately blown away. To the right there was an exhibition of all kinds of cameras (mostly old), of all shapes and sizes which was fascinating. To the left there were countless interactive gadgets that we experiment with and use to explore all the ways images can be displayed. And in the top floor there was a really cool photography exhibition as well. It was so much fun! And the best part? We went on Sunday so it was free ????????????????????????

Great for a wander and a contrast to the lovely narrow lanes of the town. We enjoyed the sculptures and water feature. The antiques market is every second Saturday of the month - well worth a visit

This is real authentic Portuguese style sea-side village. Few tourists. Great beaches and great restaurants. Peace and quiet during the week, busy in the weekends. Are there nicer villages in Portugal in the area? Sure, but also loads more tourists (Ericeira, Nazare, Figueira da Foz amongst them). So it's really up to what you are looking for. If it's a bustling tourist town head elsewhere. If it is the true authentic village by the sea with scarce tourism Praia do Pedrogão is great. In any case it is a great point from which to explore the many things to see and do in a 30-60 minute area, and then come back to total peace and relaxation afterwards. I love it, but then I am a dutchie.
