Heart of the winemaking heritage

Alenquer · 2 stops

Family roots and vineyards closely intertwined

Wine culture in Alenquer is the product of wisdom passed down from generation to generation, in the shadow of the Montejunto Hills.

Alenquer is just a short distance from Lisbon, yet with its rural landscapes and views over the Montejunto Hills, it often feels like another world. The importance of wine culture in this region is encapsulated in the Wine Museum, located in the historic centre of the town of Alenquer, right by the river of the same name. The historic centre is also well worth a leisurely stroll.
