Harvest Program in Cartuxa

2 km from the historic center of Évora and 200 meters from the Monastery that inspired its name, is Adega Cartuxa. This secular building, surrounded by vineyards, was the rest home of the Jesuits (Companhia de Jesus), who taught at the University of Évora in the 16th and 17th centuries. With his expulsion, in 1759, by order of the Marquis of Pombal, the property came to belong to the State. Later, in 1776, it became an important wine press that absorbed the production of the region and, in the 19th century, it was acquired by the Eugénio de Almeida family, undergoing renovations and expansions over time, which always respected the richness of its architecture.

In addition to the visit and wine tasting in this historic building, Cartuxa has prepared, for the first time, a special program of harvests at Quinta de Valbom. Thus, the visitor will get to know closely the production process in its most ancient form, learn about the choice of grapes and participate in the foot treading for the elaboration of Talha Cartuxa wines. At the end of the experience, you will have a tasting of 6 wines, accompanied by our regional snacks.

Included in the program is the offer of a vintage kit, consisting of: polo shirt, hat, shorts, slippers and subsequent delivery of a bottle of vintage wine from the harvest in which you participated. It is an initiative limited to available places and will be available for a short period of time. Price: € 300.00 p/person

NOTE: The choice of the type of tasting/wine is made by time and not by person.

Cartuxa can add side dishes to any type of tasting, which consist of sausages, cheeses, regional jams, among others, for an additional €7.50 (minimum of 2 pax). The sale of Pêra-Manca red wine is exclusive to those who take the guided tour of Enoturismo Cartuxa, limited to 1 bottle per visitor, subject to the availability of this reference
