Casa do JOA - Winemaker for a Day

In the village of Parada, a typical Trás-os-Montes location around 20 km from Bragança, Casa do JOA is set in a territory where time slows down and the connection to the land remains strong. It was here that Jorge Ortega Afonso returned to his roots to rebuild the house and shape a wine project defined by dedication, precision, and respect for its origin.

This experience invites guests to take on the role of winemaker for a day, through a hands-on and engaging program. It begins with a walk through the vineyards, offering insight into the grape varieties planted on the estate and the importance of terroir in shaping a wine’s profile. The experience continues with a guided visit to the village, providing a closer look at the history and identity of the Alto Trás-os-Montes region.

Back at the winery, under the guidance of the winemaker, participants blend different grape varieties to create their own wine and design a personalized label. The experience concludes with a tasting of Casa do JOA wines, celebrating the journey throughout the day.
