Embark on a journey that blends history, wine, and tradition. Visit the 15th-century Convento de Val de Pereira, now home to Quinta do Convento, for a guided tour through its historic grounds and surrounding vineyards. Learn about the convent’s origins, the region’s unique vinho verde production, and taste a selection of wines made from native grape varieties like Alvarinho, Loureiro, and Arinto. The experience ends with a traditional lunch in Ponte de Lima, one of Portugal’s oldest towns, known for its medieval bridge and rich gastronomy.
Our journey continues with a special visit and tasting at Quinta do Curutelo, an exciting new winery breathing fresh life into the tradition of green wine. Led by a passionate new winemaker, this estate is crafting bold, invigorating wines that offer a modern twist on a beloved regional classic. During your visit, you’ll have the unique opportunity to meet the winemaker, explore the vineyard, and learn the inspiring story behind both the place and the wines. And of course, no visit would be complete without tasting a carefully curated selection of their vibrant creations.
For lunch, we’ll head to the enchanting town of Ponte de Lima — one of the oldest and most picturesque in Portugal. With its cobbled medieval streets, timeless atmosphere, and a rich culinary tradition, this riverside gem is a true delight. The town is especially known for its graceful stone bridge, the oldest still in use in the country, arching elegantly over the Lima River. To let you fully enjoy the experience, lunch is not included — instead, you’ll have 1 hour and 30 minutes of free time to explore and choose from the many inviting local taverns and restaurants. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty traditional dish, a light snack, or just a glass of vinho verde by the river, the choice is entirely yours.
Nestled in the quiet charm of Outeiro, a small and picturesque locality, stands the Convent of Val Pereira — a graceful testament to 14th-century architecture and tradition. Steeped in history, this convent has not only served as a spiritual retreat for centuries but also as the birthplace of a treasured local craft: the production of green wine. Since the Middle Ages, its sun-kissed vineyards have yielded this vibrant and refreshing wine, making Val Pereira a hidden gem where history, faith, and flavor intertwine.
