Fabulous location which was well signposted and easy to find. My husband and I enjoyed a personal tour of the caves and wine making process with our interesting guide followed by several tastings of premium wonderful wines accompanied by tasty regional snacks of bread, cheese, meats, fish pastes and olives... the vineyard also has a quirky sculpture art garden which is enjoyable to explore afterwards too! Thoroughly recommend as a half day trip if nearby.

This is a very friendly wine tour in a lovely setting - the team are funny and very kind. It's not a huge tour, but that doesn't matter. They are very knowledgable and the wine is delicious - and you get cheese and hams too - wonderful. We had a lot of fun! Thank you!

Despite a late taxi, I’m glad we never bottled this tour, it was an absolute caulker! Joanna was amazing, she was very knowledgeable and the history of the winery and also the wines which are produced. The 17% wine was amazing and we purchased a bottle of this from the shop which was very well priced (5 EUR a bottle). We would definitely recommend this tour to anybody visiting the Algarve! Thanks for looking after us!

Morgado do Quintao is one of the oldest vineyards in the Algarve and focus exclusively in growing premium wines from indigenous grape varieties, like the region's famous Negramole. The large estate was founded by the count of Silves in the early 1800's and is still in the possession of the family. We welcome guests who are passionate about food & wine.

Our guide on the Eat.Drink.Discover food tour that we took in Lagos highly recommended that we make a visit to Quinta da Vinha - Cabrita winery, and we are so glad we did. The personable winemaker, Dinis, gave us a tour of this family-run winery, followed by the tasting in the very attractive tasting room. We were served a white, a red, and a rose, accompanied by various cheeses, meats, carob bread, fig jam (delicious), and a seafood salad. We were also given a taste of the Negra Mole, made with a native grape variety, when we expressed an interest in it. All wines were excellent; we went away with three bottles. An advance booking is requested (we called a day ahead), and it’s definitely worth the effort to do so. This was a very enjoyable experience.
