Quinta de Soalheiro is one of the brightest emblems of the Monção and Melgaço wine region and an undisputed reference for Portuguese wine on the international stage. Located in Valadares, Melgaço, in a deeply rural setting, it has grown and innovated in a sustained way without ever losing its family character or its strong connection to its origins. That fidelity to place has made all the difference.

Soalheiro’s wine portfolio is broad and diverse, the result of work carried out at the frontier of excellence, balancing respect for tradition with a clear commitment to experimentation and the search for new expressions. Alvarinho remains at the core of the estate’s identity, interpreted with freedom, precision and a constant creative restlessness.
Within this framework, wine tourism emerges as a natural extension of Soalheiro’s philosophy. More than a complementary activity, it is an act of passionate sharing and a powerful means of communicating the territory. A variety of visit programmes are available throughout the week by prior appointment, with some tastings paired with carefully selected local products, reinforcing the bond between wine, culture and place.

Beyond wine, Soalheiro also explores the territory through The Pure Terroir infusions born from the revival of an old local tradition. Visitors can explore the infusion fields and taste different blends accompanied by local bread and honey — an appealing alternative for those less inclined towards wine but equally interested in authenticity and origin.

Soalheiro is not merely a name that brings prestige to this borderland in northwestern Portugal. It is a brand that projects the territory, its culture and its know-how far beyond national borders, playing a decisive role in the international recognition of Portuguese wine.
