Journey through the vineyards and heritage of the intimate Vinho Verde sub-region of Monção and Melgaço — where Portugal’s most celebrated white grape, Alvarinho, truly shines.

Your day begins with a comfortable private pick-up from your accommodation. Shortly after, pause at a scenic viewpoint that offers sweeping views over the river valley or the town — a perfect introduction to the serene beauty of northern Portugal.

From there, head to a unique, community-run winery in the heart of Melgaço. In an exclusive and authentic setting, enjoy six premium Alvarinho tastings paired with local specialities such as artisanal cheeses and fruit preserves. Gain insights into the winemaking process with a behind-the-scenes visit to the production area, where tradition and modern techniques blend seamlessly.

Lunch is served at a traditional restaurant, featuring regional dishes carefully harmonised with wines from the surrounding vineyards.

In the afternoon, visit a refined wine estate in Monção. Stroll through its lush vineyards, explore its immersive experience centre, and finish your journey with four more elegant tastings, once again paired with regional delicacies.

Over the course of the day, you’ll savour a total of 12 exceptional wines, discover stories and traditions that bring each glass to life, and enjoy the relaxed pace of a private experience — where there’s time to linger, taste, and truly connect with the land and its people.
