Monte da Ravasqueira

As tours of wineries go, this is brilliant. Surprising store of beautiful old horse-drawn carriages as a bonus. We found 2 bottles of wine we loved and bought.

Great tour and tasting. Guide was very friendly and professional. Gave us a great tour in English. Wines were amazing and the estate is very nice. Super friendly staff. Definitely worth it!

Beautiful property and winery. Out-of-the-ordinary because of the collection of antique carriages that visitors can see on the guided tour. Beautiful wine tasting room, interesting tour of wine-making, delicious lunch – and wine – in yet another beautiful room (with a fireplace), hosted by smiling, friendly Carlos. Teresa, our guide for the winery tour was informative, knowledgeable, nice and – when we told her we did not have a car – drove us in her car (weather was awful for walking). Worth a visit!

The estate is beautiful — and impressive! We toured Monte da Ravasqueira in February, so the grapes weren’t growing yet. The vineyards stretch out in all directions and we were led through them to the processing plant, which itself was impressively large. Production wasn’t taking place since it was Sunday, but it was still interesting to see. We also visited the on-site carriage museum, with horse-drawn carriages dating back to the 18th Century. I never thought I’d need to see that, but am surprisingly glad I did! And, finally, we did a wine tasting of six of their excellent (and affordable) wines.

Excellent tour of the gorgeous grounds, coach museum and of course the best part was the wine tasting. We started our tasting in the cellars and finished with a delicious meal and smooth mature wines to accompany the food. I would absolutely recommend visiting. The staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable.
