Wine&Soul style wine tourism

As the harvest approaches, Wine&Soul invites all wine lovers to visit its Enotourism, in Vale do Pinhão, and to experience two very special programs – ‘Wine Blending’ and ‘Um dia na Vinha’. Both offers provide unique experiences, from the creation of personalized labels to vineyard tours with an exclusive lunch at the farm. These are unmissable suggestions for a getaway to the Douro, in the company of friends and family.

The ‘Wine Blending’ program invites all oenophiles to learn more about the art of oenology. The experience begins with a visit to the cellar, where you can learn more about the winemaking process. Afterwards, visitors are given the opportunity to put theory into practice and to be winemakers for a couple of hours to create their own blend. In the end, it is possible to customize the label and take the wine bottle home. The cherry on top of the cake? The experience can be accompanied by one of the project’s enologists. To participate, a group registration, between 8 to 12 people, and prior booking is required. The program costs €100 per person and lasts an average of 3 hours.

The ‘Um Dia na Vinha’ program starts with a visit to the cellar. Then, visitors take a jeep to Quinta de Manoella, where they have the opportunity to take a pedestrian trail. The walk, during which the origin of this historic property is explained, ends next to the house, under the ramada, where lunch is served accompanied by a wine tasting from the Manoella range. The experience can also be personalized, through the presence of one of the winemakers, subject to availability and appointment. The program costs €175 per person, requiring a minimum of 8 people. With a duration of about 5 hours.

Located on the left bank of the Pinhão River, Quinta da Manoella is one of the most historic and unique properties in the Douro. With about 60 hectares, it has been in the hands of the Borges family for 5 generations, having been acquired in 2009 by the couple Jorge Borges and Sandra Tavares da Silva, founders of Wine&Soul.

All programs are subject to prior appointment, and subject to availability, with a minimum of 48 hours in advance. For more information and reservations: enoturismo@wineandsoul.com | +351 910 433 683 | +351 254 738 486
