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 did back to back private tours with Armando and they were the highlight of a two week trip. The excursion to Alentejo was absolutely amazing! Armando picked out three totally different wineries and each was magnificent. He was so easy to work with, very knowledgeable on wines and accommodating to all our desires. We started up in northern Alentejo and visited two vineyards with incredible wines, we then stopped for a handpicked lunch in an actual castle followed by an afternoon discovering the Roman ruins village of Evora with a stop at yet another wonderful winery in town. The following day we visited Castle de Pena and Quinta da Regaleira in Sintra, he was so knowledgeable about the history and led us to the highlights of each. We then had a marvelous seafood lunch right on the ocean! We highly recommend Armando and The Best Portugal, it is a must when visiting Lisbon!!

A great tour of a very good vinery - Diogo is the perfect host - not only talking about Colqares, but is very enthusiastic and informative of winw in Portugal as a whole. The tasting is generous and gives an insight of the different styles they make. A bit expensive at 20 Euros, but still very much recommended.

We cannot thank our wedding coordinator Alex and all the staff at Quinta de Sant'Ana enough for making our wedding day so incredibly fantastic. It was like a fairytale dream come true!! The venue itself is literally mind-blowingly beautiful, the food is out of this world and the wine, well, magnificent. All our guests were blown away by the beauty of the venue and level of service they received on the day. John and I cannot thank you enough for how well you looked after us and everyone else. You will always hold a very special place in our hearts and we cannot wait to plan a family reunion to be there again.

What a pleasant and generous tour of Casal Sta.Maria. With our excellent and knowledgeable guide, Joao Ribas, the walk through the vineyards and view to the Atlantic was more than enough to give 5 stars. And then there were the wines. Complex and astounding for such a small family vineyard. Suffice to say I’ve bought quite a lot especially the late harvest (especially unusual for this area). If you want to experience a unique and unspoilt part of Portugal near Lisboa go to Casal Sta. Maria.

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.
