Harvest at Herdade do Rocim to the lullaby of the Alentejo song

The liveliest time of the year in the vineyard cycle is here. Herdade do Rocim already has a harvest program available, between August and September, which allows direct contact with the process of harvesting, receiving and treading the grapes. During the month of August, between 11 am and 1 pm, the estate opens its doors to Bucha Alentejana, to accompany the reception of the grapes. On the 9th of September, between 11:00 am and 5:30 pm, an event will take place that respects local tradition and culture and brings together two ancestral knowledge: foot treading to the sound of singing by local groups and the unique wines of Rocim. Reservations are now open.

The harmony between tradition and contemporaneity happens naturally at Herdade do Rocim. In the vineyard, organic viticulture is privileged, with the least possible intervention and environmental impact, and, in the cellar, the raw material is respected to safeguard the quality of each berry. This symbiosis with the environment also extends to the community and the region and in the Herdade’s wine tourism programs, there is always a preservation of traditions, millenary productive processes, regional products and local culture. The base program can also be complemented with the Vidigueira Master Blender experience, an activity for those curious about the role of winemaker and where they are challenged to create their own wine.

Also during the month of August, it is possible to follow the harvest process, booking the ‘Bucha da Vindima’ experience, which consists of a more technical visit to the winery and the grape reception area and includes a tasting of the musts of the grape that is being harvested that day. Loofah will consist of traditional products such as cheese, sausages, scrambled eggs with asparagus, tomato and mushrooms, local pies, bread, olive oil, seasonal fruit and some desserts.

Bucha da Vindima daily – throughout the month of August, from Tuesday to Saturday between 11 am and 1 pm. Value: 35 euros per person (minimum of two people).
