Description of Experience

This full-day tour invites you to discover Monção and Melgaço,the two neighbouring municipalities that form the most distinctive sub-region of Vinho Verdewhere the white grape Alvarinho truly shines. 

Set along the River Minho, this borderland between Portugal and Galicia is rich in history and shared traditions. On the Spanish side, the same grape — known as Albariño — defines the wines of Rías Baixas. Here, wine crosses borders as naturally as culture does. 

For us Alvarinho is more than a grape or a wine; it is a cultural marker and a source of identity.  Present in this territory for centuries, it has shaped a landscape where medieval pilgrimage routes, ancient Celtic heritage, and the origins of the Portuguese nation intersect.

Our goal is to reveal the uniqueness of the Alvarinho / Albariño Territory —  its wines, landscapes, and deep-rooted history — at the unhurried pace of rural life.

The Classic Tour includes; Visits to two representative wine estates, with tastings / A traditional regional lunch  / Exploration of historic sites and remarkable landscapes. A journey to savour — and to remember.
