VV Winery 8: Quinta de Santa Teresa (A&D Wines)
It’s the last stop on the most beautiful adventure through Vinho Verde. Nestled on a mountain top in the subregion of Baião, Quinta de Santa Teresa is a sight for sore eyes - and honestly, arriving here at dusk was the icing on the cake and the most perfect way to end the trip!
VV Winery 7: Aveleda
Now this is a name I think most people will recognize. It’s the number 1 selling Vinho Verde producer in the world, exporting to over 80 countries!
VV Winery 6: Quinta do Ameal
For our final full day in Vinho Verde, we started at Quinta do Ameal, located in the subregion of Lima. This is a picturesque spot that’s lush with oh-so-much greenery. Honestly, every turn you take, you’re mystified by its beauty.
VV Winery 5: Quinta de Lourosa
The next stop on our Vinho Verde adventures was Quinta de Lourosa. This family-run winery also runs a bed and breakfast and it’s the cutest, quaintest little spot.
VV Stop 3: Monverde Wine Experience Hotel
Where do I even start with this place - the name really says it all: it’s a wine experience. From delicious local food and stunning hotel rooms to winemaking experiences and an on-property spa, this place really does have it all. I only got to stay here for 1 night, but given the choice, I probably would’ve wanted to stay one more night to really take in the whole experience.
VV Winery 2: Soalheiro
Our second stop of day 2 was Soalheiro. This is yet another family run winery, however this one is located in the subregion of Melgaço - that’s one of the most northern points in Portugal - in fact, you can see Spain from the Soalheiro property!
VV Winery 1: Quinta das Arcas
After checking out of our hotel in Porto, we headed to our first stop of the day - Quinta das Arcas. This is a beautiful property (honestly, they all are) that’s about 250 acres in total. And fun fact, they also make cheese on the property!
Vinho Verde Day 1 Recap
I couldn’t decide where I wanted to start with everything that I have to share from this trip - so I figured, I might as well take it day by day!
