A winery in the heart of Lisbon
Adega Belém is our family winery located in the Belém neighborhood of Lisbon. It is run by us, David Picard and Catarina Moreira, enologists and owners who became winemakers after university research careers in social anthropology and evolutionary biology. Once scientists, always scientists, we both continue to enjoy challenging ideas and conventions, now in the field of winemaking. The results are outstanding low intervention white, red and sparkling wines with strong character and deliciousness factor.
Visit us for a tasting, a cellar tour, or to plan your 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
Apollonian in style, Dionysian in effect, our maxim is that wine should be, above all, delicious, aesthetically challenging, and inducing joyful excitement and happiness. We vinify grapes growing in the coastal regions in and around Lisbon. The portfolio comprises varietal white wines, barrel aged red wines, amphora wines, classical and ancestral method sparkling wines and fortified wines including a DOP Carcavelos.
Sustainable Design
We champion a whole system-approach to product and packaging design. Since its inception, our winery has worked with grape growers from Lisbon’s Atlantic coast who are paid fairly and farm with respect for the land. Our grapes are grown in heterogeneous landscapes marked by mixed cropping, agroecological diversity and a progressive shift towards organic management practice. Our packaging design combines a vivid personalized style of labels using visual elements drawn by members of our family (most by our daughters Ana and Sofia) and a clear choice for recyclable packaging materials including ultra-light weight glass bottles, natural monolithic cork and no plastics at all.
“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 at times 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
