Wine tasting in Castelo Rodrigo

0€ per person

More than a tasting, an experience

Around the 12th century, Cistercians monks inhabited the Convent of Santa Maria de Aguiar. The monks, with their knowledge acquired from other areas, started the cultivation of vines and the production of wine in the region.

The privileged location of the Beira Interior Region, above 700 metres, endows it with quality wines that leave no palate indifferent. It is at the foot of the Serra da Marofa hills, between the valleys of the Côa and Águeda rivers, which flow into the international, neighbouring River Douro, that we find Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo, a town with a winemaking tradition where high quality wines are produced. Castelo Rodrigo is a perfect place for wine tasting.

Visit the Winery and Wine Tasting

The Castelo Rodrigo Cooperative Winery plays an important role in this border town, contributing to the social and economic development of many producers. The visit to the winery will direct us through the entire process of the winery's wines, taking in an old still that, even not working, is preserved as a museum piece. The visit ends in the cosy tasting room that makes us feel that everything that is authentic, is simple, unpretentious, but elegant. A wine tasting with an explanation about the wines. What we want visitors to take from the visit is the perception of wines of extraordinary body created by a cooperative winery, the strength of a wine region and the certainty of wanting to come back!

Dinner in a local restaurant

What if a grocery store gave way to a restaurant and we added photos and articles of a lifetime? This would be the deconstruction of a restaurant concept and conviviality. Between the aromas of the kitchen and the smell of history, the feeling you get is that all that's missing is a sofa to relax on. Wait a minute, there is one! Let's try it out!
