Wine has been produced in this estate, for over 130 years, but it was at the start of the new millennium that Júlio Bastos starts this new project, DONA MARIA WINES. The ancient winery was restored and extended, equipped with the best and most modern technology. Nowadays, the winery produces 260,000 bottles, but the final objective will be a total production of 500,000 bottles per year, of top-quality wines. Enjoy sampling the local wines, followed by a delicious and informative lunch with the owners, subject to their availability.
