Cortem Winery

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.

Barbeito Madeira

Vinhos Barbeito entered the wine business in 1946, during a particularly dark time for Madeira. During World War II, production and sales had ground to a virtual halt. As a result, far more companies were leaving the business than were joining. But Mario Barbeito had faith in the future. He also believed that the value of great Madeira could only go up as it became older and production of young vintages declined. But while Barbeito saw those vintage wines as a nest egg for the future, he was content to let the wines age. He wisely built the business in the early years around more modest Madeiras. It was left to his daughter Manuela - when she gradually took over the business from him in the 1970s to continue his work. In the mid 1990s, Manuela Barbeito began to turn over the reins of the company to her son Ricardo Freitas. He not only brought a deep respect for Madeira's classical roots, but also brought new energy and new ideas to the company. One of these ideas was to restore the role that Madeira once had as a companion of food. Ricardo is continuing his grandfather's and mother's legacy of making wines and preserving them for future generations. But he is also creating his own legacy: a series of Madeiras he calls his "Signature" wines. These handcrafted wines combine the best elements of Madeira's classical tradition with Ricardo's own quest for purity and vineyard and varietal expression. Made in tiny lots, their astonishingly graceful style has prompted British wine critic Jancis Robinson to call Barbeito the "Lafite of Madeira".

We have been welcomed by Leandro who provided us a wonderful tour of the Barbeito production. A fantastic journey to discover Madeira whine, history and techniques. The awesome tour ended with a very nice wine tasting with a well detailed explanation of the different wines. I really recommend the tour for anyone who wants to discover more about Madeira culture and history.

Fantastic, great experience and highly recommended. Our guide Sandra explained everything very warmly and solved our doubts. Best part is the final taste. The only thing is that Spaniards always like to eat something while drinking

Quinta Seara d'Ordens

Quinta Seara d'Ordens is a family estate of 3 brothers: António, José and Fernando Moreira. We produce wines since 1992 but the vineyard already exist in the same family since 1792.

This Quinta is amazing! We heard of it through the hostess of our AirBNB. It is a bit off the National 222 so less visited, but it's really worth the trip. We were kindly greeted by one of the young members of the family who run this winery. She took the time to explain the process of vinification of the Douro wines and port wines. The views from up there are absolutely breathtaking, some of the best we have seen in the Douro Valley. Our guide walked us around and showed us some of their olive trees, which produce a divine olive oil (really worth it!) And what about the tasting! We liked every single product that she made us try. Because of the custom regulations, we had to make some choices. Or else we would have bought much more bottles! There are numerous Quintas in the Douro Valley, many of them are more commercial and do mass production. This Quinta really stands out, we see that this family cares about what they do. We strongly recommend you to encourage this smaller producer who offers quality wines.

Quinta da Almiara

Quinta da Almiara is surrounded by 160 hectares of vineyard, and is located in a place of great scenic beauty, in the parish of S. Mamede da Ventosa, in Torres Vedras, part of the Lisbon Wine Region. It's a very old wine production region, with a temperate climate without any wide temperature variations, with gentle hills and strongly influenced by the Atlantic due to the proximity of the ocean. Quinta da Almiara is a family business that has been dedicated to the production of high quality red and white wines since 1980. We have planted selected red and white grape varieties in our vineyards: Touriga Nacional, Alicante Bouschet, Castelão, Merlot, Aragonés, Caladoc, Shyrah and Fernão Pires. Our wines are obtained exclusively from the grapes produced on the estate. Our grapes are vinified in our cellar, which has been totally remodelled and equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, with a storage capacity for 4 million litres in stainless steel vats.

Casa Ramos Pinto

Reviewed By nwspm - Altrincham, United Kingdom

We enjoyed the variety of experiences in the different Port houses along the river front in Vila Nova de Gaia. The Ramos Pinto tour was distinctive for the walk through the beautiful old offices of the company. Our guide told us interesting anecdotes about the history of the furnishings and the artwork. The tasting room was comfortable and airy ; we enjoy the wines and bought a bottle of white port and a metal sign of one of the iconic adverts.

Super interesting self guided audio tour, done at your own pace. Well laid out with plenty of photos, maps and diagrams to explain the history and process without getting too technical or boring. No need to book just turn up, we arrived around 11 on a Sunday morning and it wasn’t busy. Fantastic value at €15 a per person for the tour and 2 generous samples one red one white Tasting is in a beautiful garden area where you can also purchase a selection of snacks to compliment the ports you are tasting. Helpful and friendly staff throughout our visit. You can’t visit Porto and not come here.

Blandy's Wine Lodge

Acquired in 1840 by Charles Ridpath Blandy, the Blandy's Wine Lodge has always been and is still an integral part of the production of Blandy's Madeira Wine. Located in the center of Funchal, Blandy's Wine Lodge allows visitors to Madeira an opportunity to experience first hand Madeira Wine in the making. Our tours will guide you through some of the history of the wine, its development and evolution, as well as the opportunity to taste the various styles of Madeira. Blandy's Madeira celebrated its bicentennial in 2011, the Blandy Wine Lodges give you a privileged perspective on 200 years of Madeira Wine. The lodge was bought by Charles Ridpath in the mid-19th century and not only was it an extremely valuable property, but was also very useful due to the fact that it was directly connected to the family's town house. Each one of the Lodge's rooms have their own character and due to the differing temperatures and humidity, the wines all have differing ageing profiles based on their location within the lodge. The eastern warehouse holds wine dating back to 1920 and the family's private vintage collection is held within thick stone walls, below the ground floor. The museum holds artefacts that include letters from Sir. Winston Churchill, coins from Blandy's bank and the island's oldest wooden lagar, dating back to the 17th Century. Murals from the renowned German artist Max Romer decorate the tasting room and references from the company's wide range of vintage wines are held in the sala frasqueira. Today the Lodge is the heart of the family's wine business where over 650 casks, tonnels and vats are stored, ageing the finest of the family's wines in the traditional canteiro method.

Reviewed By wendyanddavid536 - Solihull, United Kingdom

We did the 45 minute tour; brilliant guide, plenty to see, two different styles of Madeira wine to sample at the end of the tour, with the possibility of paying a very reasonable amount to sample many other wines, which we did! If you then buy a bottle of the wine that you sampled, the cost of the sample is deducted from the purchase price (and an additional 10% deducted if you had done the tour, so we ended up with two nice bottles of Madeira for 16.40 euros. Most helpfully, they give you a voucher to pick up the bottles at the airport after you have gone through security.
