At Casa Relvas, we want to share this exceptional moment with you, and so we are inviting you to take part in our harvest crew for a day. This will be an experience that will forever change the way you taste a wine, giving you the opportunity to watch the entire process from grape to glass.
We will go to the vineyards and start by checking the maturity of the different grape varieties. If the sugar concentration is ideal, we will harvest by hand, but only enough not to get tired! Back at the winery, you will participate in whatever tasks are taking place—it could be the "inoculation" of a vat, to start the fermentation, a "pump over" where the must is pumped over the skins and seeds to aid maceration, or a "devatting," drawing off the wine. As tradition dictates, we then crush the grapes with our bare feet and, of course, taste wine!
Finally, a regional lunch accompanied by wines awaits you. We have prepared homemade dishes that promise to surprise and delight you. Recipes that will leave you begging for more! If after lunch you feel like taking a nap, our “árvore da sesta” will be ready to rock you to sleep: two cork trees with one hanging hammock.
Join our grape harvest and experience with us the vineyard's most exciting moment of the year!
