Small-group guided tours and commented tastings every Friday and Saturday
Tour through our cellars to explore how wine is made from grape to glass. An exciting journey into the world of wine biochemistry made accessible through lively metaphors and explanations — from our experience even for people who have already done a lot of winery tours. You will learn all about sulfites, tannin, pigments, sugar, bacteria and yeasts and how they play together with soils, weather and winemakers to create great wine.
Followed by a commented wine tasting at our long table, with premium wines made by us at the winery paired with delicious artisan food produce including cheeses, cured meat, fresh sour dough bread. Vegetarian food on demand. This tasting will take you on a journey through Portugal’s rich heritage of grape varieties, including the aromatic red Tourigas and white Viosinho originally from the Douro valley, the subtle red Castelão historically home to vineyards on both sides of the Tejo, the crispy Arinto originally from Bucelas just north of Lisbon, to the spicy Muscatels of the Setubal Peninsular.

Academic Workshops
As former academics now exploring the more practical side of life, we still love to occasionally return to our scientific roots. Joining forces with our former colleagues at the University of California at Berkeley and Paris Sorbonne Panthéon, we host an annual workshop to debate theoretical issues related to wine. In 2021, we focused on the idea of wine as a commodity produced and exchanged within a global urbe. Building on this workshop, in 2022, we focused on the notion of “origin” in wine and winemaking. Check back here regularly to learn about forthcoming events.
