About this experience
Experience the city, costumes, tradictions and gastronomy!
Althought this visit is oriented for the wine of the region (Vinho Verde), we will give you a overview of the city of Guimarães itself.
In the heart of Minho region we find the first portuguese capital. Today still keeps it's medieval look and structure, that we will stop to admire and have a lunch break between wineries visits.
You will visit (and taste) the production of two fantastic farms in the region. An older one with Vinho Verde production for centuries. And a second visit, in a young and bold project located in a charming location.
We will wait for you. Cheers!
