Walk in Bucelas Vineyards
This program can start at the Humberto Delgado – Lisbon airport, at the Hotel where the visitor is staying (whether or not is part of our network of partners).
The visit to the farm that is located in the slopes of Bucelas, inserted in the small Demarcated region of Bucelas and 25 km away from Lisbon. The farm practices a sustainable viticulture, which translates into superior quality grapes and a wine with unique dry white characteristics. It was the wine of the discoveries, of the therapy of kings and the British royal court.
In Shakespeare’s time, Bucelas became popular at the English court, called “Charneco“, the name given to the Bucelas region and mentioned by Shakespeare in the 2nd part of the play Henry VI, published in 1594.
The visit consists of a walk through the vineyard, with an explanation of the existence of the “queen” variety of this zone – Arinto, which was cultivated and developed by the Romans over 2000 years ago. It also includes a visit to the winery and a tasting of 3 wines, accompanied by regional products: cheese, ham and bread.
Then the visitors take a walk through the vineyards, because the name of the farm is the most sacred aromatic plant in the Jewish-Christian culture. Who knows?
