In this experience we invite you to visit Quinta de Mata-Mouros, Convento do Paraíso property in Silves, Algarve Wine Region.
History and legends are in the “Quinta de Mata Mouros” name, which may have a variety of origins, including the fact that frontline troops were stationed here during the Christian reconquest, “mate-mor” or that there was wood (mata in portuguese) belonging to the Moors. In this same place, after Silves' reconquest, was built The Convent of our Lady of Paradise. It survived until the 19th century, and its main building remains standing there today.
Get to know the whole property on a tour through the vineyards and the winery, which results from the compromise between the preservation of the original buildings and the implementation of the most sophisticated processes of wine production, in order to combine the traditional foot treading mill with the use of high technology equipment.
In the end of the tour, you will taste 3 of our wines, from Imprevisto, Euphoria and Convento do Paraíso range.
