Very nice way to learn a bit more of the Portuguese wines. Received an explanation from a very friendly lady who spoke good English. Nice location with adjacent a restaurant where we did not eat but looked very nice.
Cheers to the family vineyard!

We had a wonderful experience at Cella Vineria Antiqua Winery-Museo. We had a lovely discussion with the hosts and our many questions were answered. The building is beautiful and the history of the cellar and attached restaurant was very interesting. We enjoyed our wine tasting and came away with wine to share with our friends.Thanks so much for this experience!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Cella Vinaria Antiqua by Honrado Vineyards. We chanced on this winery, so we did not have a reservation, but we were warmly welcomed. The tour explaining the production of wine in Tahlas, of the ancient building itself, and the family’s history in wine production and their restaurant was very interesting. The delicious wine tasting paired to a wonderful charcuterie board shouldn’t be missed. Thank you Ruben and Barbara, we appreciated your kind welcome, we had a fabulous time!
Very great.

It was a great time. The wine is silent and very soft. It's a winery in a small village in the countryside, but it's a great place to keep tradition, and the wine also tastes peculiar. If you're just past this village, don't pass this winery.
Surprising visit

Very interesting space and even more to know the history of this traditional way of making wine. We had lunch at the great Pais das uvas restaurant and then visited the vineyard. Perfect program for an Alentejo afternoon
An unforgettable experience

Combining the curiosity that we had to know more about talha wine and celebrating my husband's birthday, we traveled, as a family, to Vila de Frades, terrier of this art!! We chose Adega Honrado because we felt that there was History to convey to us and we did not get wrong. We were received by the owner, sir. Antonio, who with passion, authenticity, simplicity and knowledge, guided us on a secular, unforgettable journey, providing us with an enriching experience!! Returning, we strongly recommend this visit! Thank you family Honrado
One of the pearls of Alentejo

It was the first time I made this visit due to the curiosity about the talha wine. The sympathy of Mr. António stood out from the beginning and the explanations of how to make the wine in detail was very pleasant. The wines with unusual taste are fantastic. I highly recommend the visit.

We made a guided visit to Cella Vinaria Antiqua on May 28, 2019 to celebrate my mother’s 76th birthday. We were very well received by Mr. António Honrado who explained the method of wine production in Talhas, a secular art. I can tell you that cellar breathes history. Both me and my brother were thrilled to hear the story that Mr. António Honrado was describing during the visit. It was a wonderful experience, I highly recommend. Then we had lunch at the country grape restaurant, which we already knew, but I have to tell you that the food besides regional is a homemade food. It was a privilege to taste the true flavours of Alentejo, which I know well because my mother is Alentejo! To accompany the meal, we drank red wine from Talha, which is produced in the cellar, I was amazed by its taste, an authentic and unique wine by the fact that it is produced in Talhas and not industrially. I want to thank Mr. António Honored for his sympathy and for having provided us with a very happy birthday. Thank you and see you soon. Vera Benevenuto
