Set in Estremoz, this two‑hour experience invites you into the art of Portuguese winemaking: a guided tour of the winery, hands‑on blending to create your own wine, structured tastings and traditional Alentejo tapas, all framed by a winemaking story that reaches back to the 1990s and the construction of the Vila Santa estate.

THE PROCESS

Be a winemaker for a day

Learn about grape varieties and the blending process, then compose your own unique blend under guidance—an educational, hands‑on core of the experience.

THE PLACE

Vila Santa: modern winery, old traditions

The producer established vinification on the estate after the first harvest in 1992 and construction of the winery began in 1997; the site combines modern winemaking with local Portuguese tradition, including some grapes still being foot‑trodden.

THE TASTE

Guided tastings and Alentejo tapas

The visit includes structured tastings of estate wines paired with traditional Alentejo tapas, pairing local flavors with the wines you sample during the tour.
