4.00Very 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!

5.00We 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.

5.00It 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

5.00Very 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

5.00Combining 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
