Description of Experience

A moment of attention and presence in Sistelo, where every feature of the landscape tells a story.

Walking, watching or simply being - this experience offers a flexible cultural immersion.

 It can include short trips to viewpoints, short walks through the village centre, or a combination of both, always adapted to the participants.

🍃Cultural Landscape and Collective Organisation

Sistelo reveals how co-operation and competition have shaped the landscape over centuries. Terraces, walls and water lines reflect a balance between collective labour and individual assertion.

The vineyard, present on banks, paths and trees, expresses an ancestral form of Vinho Verde, integrated into the landscape and everyday life.

🍃Nature and Biodiversity

A living territory, the result of prolonged interaction between human beings, land and water.

Streams, fields, clearings and woods make up a mosaic that invites attention, sensory observation and a slower relationship with time.

🍃Village Centre and Cultural Continuity

Collective spaces and historical landmarks reflect the articulation between social responsibility and individual initiative.

The connection to European artistic culture, through Viscountess Júlia Labourdonnay, projects Sistelo as a place of creation and aesthetic reading of the landscape.

🍃Final Tasting Moment

Wines from the Lima Valley and local traditional products, in a rustic encounter with the territory.

The human touch that shaped Sistelo remains alive in the landscape and memory.
