Wine & Cheese - Dão & Lafões in a Tesla

The day starts at your accommodation.

After a 2h trip, we will arrive to our first stop, the Coudelaria Madre de Água. Once there, we will engage in a highly sensory experience, by touring the different places of the farm. Among the highlights of the tour we have animal interactions, with the sheep, goats, Serra da Estrela mountain dogs and Lusitano horses (horseback riding experience also available). We will visit the vineyard fields, considered the most beautiful of the Dão region for four years in a row, as well as their olive groves.

At the vineyard we will also visit their cheese factory, a small facility used to produce the Serra da Estrela cheese, considered to be the best cheese of Portugal.

Then, lunch will follow. The starters consist of a tasting of their products: the cheese, sausages, olives, olive oil and jams. The main course will give us the opportunity to taste a typical meal from the region, with a very modern and original twist. Also, throughout the meal, we will be presented with the wine tasting – 6 different table wines, ranging from the whites, to the rosés and reds.

After lunch, we will then head towards the highlight of the trip – the summit of the Serra da Estrela mountain. Here we will be at the top of Portugal, at an altitude of 1993 m above sea level. During the trip, we will also pass some peculiar rock formations and unique landscapes.

At the summit, we will visit the small stores, for an impromptu tasting of cheese, hams, and liquors. With the free time that we have – and weather permitting – we might even be able to build a snowman!

Finally, during the 2h30 return trip to Porto, we will be able to relax and unwind in the comfort of the Tesla.
