| Getting to know Portugal through its wines is an authentic and original way to embrace the culture of the country. Portugal is a country with a strong wine tradition and the excellent quality of its wines is recognized across the world. There are fourteen wine regions in Portugal, two of which are also Unesco World Heritage Sites.
Northern Portugal has two of the most well-known wine regions in Portugal: the Douro Valley and The Vinho Verde region. Douro is Portugal's second biggest wine-producing region and where the star of Portuguese wines is produced: Port Wine. With almost three centuries of presence in the world market, it is positioned as one of the best and most emblematic wines in the world, sold in over 100 countries. The Vinho Verde wine regions is located in Trás-os-Montes and Távora-Varosa. In the Center of Portugal, Bairrada Wines, Dão Wines and Beira Interior Wines are the most important wine regions. In the Lisbon Region, Tejo, Lisbon and Setúbal have excellent natural conditions for growing vines and producing high-quality wines.
Alentejo is Portugal's largest region and it is here that one can find several leading national producers.
Algarve region, where the sun and the sea are the backdrops, is ideal for a wine tasting by the beach.
Right in the middle of the Atlantic, the archipelagos of Azores, and Madeira are destinations with great wines. No one can remain indifferent to the Azorean lava landscape by the sea and the manufactured volcanic rock grid on which the vines grow on Pico Island, a unique landscape classified as a World Heritage Site.
Madeira Wine is one of the symbols of Madeira Islands. Chosen to celebrate the US Independence Day, on July 4, 1776, the wine is made of the fruit of the vines that are grown by hand in poios (terraces), on the island's mountain slopes. |
