A winery in the heart of Lisbon
We are Catarina and David, the owners and winemakers of Adega Belém, a small boutique winery located inside a former car repair shop in Lisbon’s Belém neighborhood. Our passion is to create beautifully crafted, genuine products made of top quality locally grown grapes. To get the best out of each grape, we embrace a minimal intervention approach to winemaking at an artisan scale. The results are vivacious, fruit- and terroir-centered wines with a delicious nose, mouth and finish. Drop by at the winery for a tasting flight or a wine pairing, or to discuss how to realize your own winery event!

“Remarkable, fearlessly experimental urban winery in Lisbon”
Julia Harding, Jancis Robinson Tasting Notes
“Colorful and lively wine think tank, where independent, precision-driven wines are bottled with a pinch of new age spirit.”
Thomas Vaterlaus, Vinum
Portfolio
We work with grapes that grow in the coastal regions in and around Lisbon. Our passion is to make wines that express the Atlantic terroir of these regions as much as an audacious vision of winemaking craft that we have made ours. Our portfolio comprises different varietal white wines, barrel aged red wines, amphora wines, different types of sparkling wines and fortified wines including a DOP Carcavelos.
Monstros de Lisboa
We champion a sustainable packaging design combining a vivid personalized style of labels using visual elements drawn by members of our family team (most by our daughters Ana and Sofia) and a clear choice for sustainable packing materials including ultra-light weight glass bottles, natural monolithic cork and no plastics at all. We actively lobby for a EU-wide introduction of a small selection of re-usable standardized glass bottles. As demonstrated by our beer brewing colleagues, washing and reusing standard glass bottles reduces the energy footprint of the current recycling method by up to 70%! So, Frau von der Leyen: let’s do it!
“But if anyone thinks that a wine must be better because it comes packaged in a bottle that weighs as much as a telephone directory, then they are stupid.”
Jancis Robinson, Down with bodybuilder bottles, 2006
Visit us
Drop by for a tasting during opening hours, no booking required. Or learn more about wine making by taking part in a tour through our winemaking cellars, or book an exclusive private event for your family, friends or company.
We believe that visiting each other is not just about learning about what makes other different from self, but also and maybe more importantly to experience that wonderful feeling of being part of a common humanity. Even if its development is often poorly managed, we do love tourism, and we do love tourists from here and there. We are often tourists ourselves looking strange like tourists riding on camels through the desert, to visit other places, or to promote our wines outside our neighborhood.
We have one long table where 28 people can comfortably sit together, and also ample space to host bar-style cocktails and receptions with up to 74 people. We provide starters and food pairings made of premium quality local produce, and also work with a caterer to organize 3-course wine menus. Read more
