After picking up the participants in Coimbra, we went to the village of Mealhada to visit one of the oldest wineries in the region.

We have the opportunity to taste a red table wine, a white wine and a sparkling wine.
After the visit, we will continue on a panoramic tour where we will pass through several wine estates, where we will stop at a viewpoint of the "Maria Gomes" swing to be able to observe some vineyards.

Best way to experience Bairrada wine country

5.00After a delicious traditional lunch of leitão bairrada, we visited the amazing Bairrada wine country, guided by the best guide: Xavier! He made sure we experienced the region in a way that fit our interests. The beautiful estates we passed reminded me a litle of driving through Bordeaux. Wines made from grapes traditionally grown in Bairrada, such as Touriga Nacional, Baga and Maria Gomes, are interesting and delightful. We stopped at the impressive Aliança winery, where the underground art collection is incredible. The visit included a tasting and tour. We also made a visit to a really nice tasting room/wine shop that represents most of the boutique wineries in the region. Highly recommend! This tour is perfect if you have only a day to visit this fascinating part of Portugal. Thank you, Xavier, for a wonderful day!

5.00After a short drive from Coimbra we visited alianca underground wine museum. The museum was partly dedicated to an art collection of the main owner mostly from his travels throughout Africa. It had an amazing collection of minerals and fossils. The brandy barrels and bottles of sparkling wine were interspersed in stunning caves. The sparkling wine tasted delicious. We then went to a beautiful lookout over the vineyards before going to Curia train station for more wine tasting. Our guide Pedro was excellent and extremely knowledgeable about the wines and the region. Thank you for your recommendations , we bought some when we reached the Algarve.
Highly Recommend

5.00My spouse and I did the half day tour and it was a private tour with our very knowledgeable guide, Pedro! Pedro was so kind, was on time, drove safely and made sure our visits at both wineries were a great experience. The staff at both locations were also exceptional and kind, going out of their way to ensure we had a great experience! Thank you Pedro and team!!!!! Highly recommend!
Fun trip!

5.00Xavier and Bia were extremely knowledgeable, and explain very well, the procedure to make spumante, brandy and sangria. While going to the cellar we had the opportunity to see a wonderful exhibition from different parts of the world, which I appreciated very much. And after we went to another place where we got to taste four different types of wines. It was a lovely afternoon and worth going, I got more than what I expected.
Great way to spend a few hours.
